Verbal Abuse of Players and Officials
A number of team reps have expressed concern at recent incidents of alleged verbal abuse, and have asked for clarification of the League’s position.
I wish to draw members’ attention to League rules 51 and 52, which outline the responsibilities of team captains and managers to prevent verbal abuse of players and officials. In cases where it is found that a player or official has directed serious verbal abuse at another player or an official (including League officials), the League will take appropriate action under the rules and the disciplinary guidelines.
In this connection, the League will consider especially strong penalties in cases where verbal abuse of a racial nature is concerned. We are proud to be a multi-racial league that attracts players of all backgrounds. ExCo will adopt a “zero tolerance” policy in cases where verbal abuse of a racial nature is found to have occurred. Offenders can expect lengthy bans and heavy fines.
Should players or officials feel they have been subject to serious verbal abuse, they are encouraged to make a report to the referee for record, and to pursue their complaint with the League. I sincerely hope that we do not have to deal with any cases of this nature, and that all member teams will enjoy the remainder of the season.
Michael Johnson
Chairman.
