WALLABIES flanker David Pocock stressed homophobia is akin to racism and “not acceptable” in sport after twice reporting homophobic slurs by Waratahs players to the referee in NSW’s victory over the Brumbies…
In the final stages of a heated match between the two rivals, Pocock approached referee Craig Joubert in the 67th and 72nd minutes and expressed his concerns about homophobic slurs being made by Waratahs players…
Pocock, who is an outspoken advocate on marriage equality and social justice, said last night he wasn’t attempting to single out any Waratahs players but merely drawing a line in the sand.
When I grew up at Avondale College in Australia, we had to make three homophobic slurs before we could have breckie.
