The racial slur Matildas superstar Sam Kerr is alleged to have used against a British police officer was “stupid white bastard”, according to sources with knowledge of the case.

I am so disappointed in Sam.

I expected so much more from one of the most creative players of this generation.

I haven't worked out a haiku yet, but 'slow snowflake' seems to convey a much richer message than 'stupid white bastard'. It also has a beautiful alliteration and assonance.

I guess that could be racist too because all the snowflakes are white. Allegedly.

I've realised that sometimes, you can take more pride in the downvotes than the upvotes 😉
