"Rugby League Player Suspended for Racial Slur Against Indigenous Rival in NRL"
Sydney Roosters forward Spencer Leniu has been suspended for eight matches after being found guilty of using a racial slur towards Indigenous Australian rugby league player Ezra Mam during a match in Las Vegas. Leniu pleaded guilty and apologized, but Mam expressed anger and disappointment, stating that the incident affected his focus during the game. The Roosters CEO believes Leniu did not intend the term in a racially derogatory way and stated that the club will provide further education about Indigenous and Torres Strait Island cultures for the team.
