A junior rugby player in New South Wales, Australia, has been threatened with being banned from the league unless he covers up his crass thigh tattoos, one of which uses a gay slur.

A junior rugby player in New South Wales, Australia, sparked outrage after people online spotted a homophobic tattoo on his thigh, and now the player is facing a ban from the league unless he covers them.

Cronulla Junior Rugby League issued a warning to the unnamed player after a social media post featuring an image of the player exposed the crass tattoos.


Fans were quick to call out the text inked on the players legs.

One line read:

"eat sh*t f****t”

And the other:

“snort lines and f**k”

People on social media were quick to call out the vulgar tattoos, and the post was deleted quickly after.

But the damage was already done, and viewers of the post took to X, formerly Twitter, to express their disgust.











Others wondered how the tattoos slipped under the radar until the post surfaced.


In response to the online conversation, an NSWRL spokesperson said the player was issued an official warning and was told the tattoos must be covered in order for him to continue playing.

“We have a zero-tolerance to any form of bullying, harassment or vilification towards people with diverse sexualities and genders."
“Cronulla JRL has issued the player an official warning and asked him to cover the offending tattoos if he wishes to continue to play in any sanctioned NSWRL competition."
“Being an inclusive sport not only reflects our core values, it also reflects the diversity of our local communities.”

We're glad the league took action against the vile display, but clearly the player has already shown his true colors.

Hopefully tattoos will be more thoroughly screened in the future.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
