A Cronulla Sharks junior will not play in a New South Wales Rugby League sanctioned competition again unless he covers up a pair of abhorrent and homophobic tattoos that have emerged on social media. The young player has received an official warning from his club. He was seen in a NSWRL social media post with tattoos that read “eat s*** f****t” and “snort lines and f***”.
They didn’t check the leg tattoos of every player they pick in rep sides but when a photo was put up on social media of the player, they recognised it and sent it to the New South Wales Rugby League and good on Dave Trodden. “He jumped on it straight away. He said, ‘We have zero tolerance for any form of bullying, harassment or vilification towards people with diverse sexualities and genders’.” The player is not being named.
