3, What would you like to say to Murray Deaker about his comments?
I think it was wrong of him to say something about sonny bill's religion and i think his comments were racist. I think his show should be suspended until he apoligise's. I'd say to him that he shouldn't comment on other people religion and how would he feel if someone commented on his religion. By lance

2
He should behave or charges should be pressed.If he politicly offends people again it should go to court and be sued.
3
i would say that he should be ashamed of himself and that there is nothing wrong with being muslim and that he should appologise.
by Emily.
I think his comments were definetly racist and really bad of him espially to someone that famous and respected.
ReplyDeleteI think that he should go to court or something and he should get sued for it. It is a very affending thing to say to someone and they should definitely do something about it.
I would just like to say that if he really meant what he said then he is really horrid and he needs to improve his attitude and apoligize greatly to sonny bill
By imi
i think what he said was completley and utterly racist and not at all acceptable.
ReplyDeletewhat he said was very offencive and he should get fined or appearing court etc.
i would say to him that this is not acceptable and he needs to aplologise to the muslim community for what he said.

DeleteI think that is completly racist. If things like that are being said about human beings,Murray who is saying it should be charged it is none of his business he should apologise.

1.I think what he said was racist because he is basically saying he doesnt want muslims in our country because it makes him uncomfortable.
ReplyDelete2.I think his show should be banned or suspended and the show should be released so that everyone can see what actually happened.
3. I would say you have the right to have an opinion but just if it is something that might make people upset dont say it
By Lachie
1.I think muurray deakers comments are very racist and he shouldn't be saying sonny bill williams should not be in this country just because he is from a differnt culture.
ReplyDelete2.I think murray deaker should have to apoligise in person to sonny bill williams and if he continues saying these rasist comments he should go to court.
3.I would say that you are allowed to have your opioin but you should keep them to youself
By georgia
I think that Murry should just keep his stupid mouth shut who cares what relligion somebody is because we are New Zelanders and we don't treat people that way and if he actually said those things I don't think he deserves to be a New Zelander coz we are all as honourable as we and other people allow
ReplyDeleteErin:p
I personally think that Murrays comments are very racist. Its none of his buisness if Sonny Bill is from another culture so he should just keep his big mouth shut. He does not have a right to say Sonny Bill shouldnt be in this country because he is from another culture, with him saying that it is kinda saying that anyone in New Zealand who is from another culture should not be allowed to live in the country.
ReplyDeleteI think that Murray should go apoligise to Sonny Bill in person and he should get a fine and if he doesnt stop his racist comments then he should go to court.
i think that if i could go speak face to face with Murray Deaker then i would say that he can have his opinion about other cultures but he should keep them to himself and that he should be ashamed of himself, also i would ask him how would he feel if someone was racially commenting about his religion
1) i think that Murray Deakers comments were very racist and he should not be saying rude things about sonny bill just because hes from another culture its not right.
ReplyDelete2)if he continues to say racist comments about people he should go to jail/court if he does it again.Murray Deaker should have to apologise face to face to sonny bill and i think that the t.v show should be released so people can see what really happpend
3)i think that it is ok to have your own opioin but not to say it out on a t.v show.

btw the time is wrong i posted @ 8:43 but it says that i posted @ 12:43
ReplyDelete1.i think what he said was stupid and disgusting but as he was talking about religion and not race it is not racist in my opinion.
ReplyDelete2.i think he should be given a warning and should be reminded that he is a public figure and as such should hold himself at a higher level.
3.think before you speak and then you may not offend people.

1) I think Murray Deaker comments were very racist to Sonny Bill and also to the Muslims. This is absoutely digusting behaviour and should not be tolerated.
ReplyDelete2) Murray Deaker should be warned and if he ever makes comments like that again he should be sued or sent to court.
3)I would say to Murray Deaker to that you need to learn to think before you speak and that he should apologise to the Muslim community and Sonny Bill.
1. I think Murray Deaker is very racist and that he should no better also I think he should apologise to sonny bill and that he can’t have his show on anymore.
ReplyDelete2. I think Murray deaker should go to court and get sued because his behaviour in unacceptable and offending.
3. I would say you should keep your thoughts to your self and that you should be ashamed of him self

I think Murry Deaker's coments were very racist because a person can choose where they want to live if it's alright by laws. They shouldn't have to stay in one country because of their beliefs and religion.
ReplyDeleteI think he should apologise for being racist and not comment on other peoples' religon if he doesn't want to bring more trouble on himself. His show should stop being broadcasted until he learns what is appropriate and what isn't to say on his TV.
I think you should keep your opinion to yourself if it might hurt other people. So many people like Soony Bill Williams and hardly any one would agree with you that the All Black shouldn't be in this country because of his beliefs. You should feel bad about yourself because saying things like that is unacceptable and you should know better.
I agree that his comment was very racist and I think that its not fair to judge someone by there religion.
ReplyDeleteI think that he should have a personal meeting with Sonny Bill Williams and apologise for what he said. and if it still happens sonny should take him to court.
Id say that peoples religions don't make them differ from normal people and that hes a big old fart.
I think that deakers comments are very unfair because he has no right to comment on other poeples religons and if he has a probllem with Sonny Bill Wiliams being on the ALL Blacks he should talk to the person that ut him on the team so Yes I do think the comments are rasist aithough that is just my opinon
ReplyDeleteand deaker sould of kept his mouth shut.
I think that he should atleast appoligised for the comment he raise arouned the public and stop making such a big deal about it. I think that if Deaker keeps making such a show for it arond the public then I feel personly that he should go to court because it is not right to be carring on about someones religion in public
His commments are so unfair and rasist he should keep ghis comments to himslf and he should be ashamed of hmself especialy after making it public. And anyway wheres the rule book that says that muslims cant play rugby for the All BlacksI think thatits wrong to talk in public about other peoples religons and belifes so I would sugest he think before he goes on like that and if he cant though he should keep his moouth shut.
(: Petra :)
I think that it may be taken as racist but everyone is entitled to their own opinion. People are making it sound more racist than it was meant to be. Why can't people speak their mind?
ReplyDeleteZara :)
i think he was being racist and he was just being mean to someone you is very well known
ReplyDeletei think he should give an appoligy to sonny bill willams on camera
keep your mouth shut next time and how would you feel if someone said that to YOU!

ReplyDelete2. i think that murray deaker should have his sport show taken off tv.
3.i would like to say to him he is a old fart and he should have to say sorry on live tv and at sonny bill williams face.
jeremy
i think that the comments are racsit , just because sonny bill is muslim it doent mean he cannot play for the all blacks . he still is the same as everybody else so decker dosent need to be racsit .
ReplyDeletehe defently should not be on tv again if he has already done it once then he is bound to do it again .i think that he should he sewed from his job and go to court .
if i could talk to him i would tell him he should be ashmed of his selef and ask him why he said what he did on t.v . and also tell him to day sorry
