Not many years ago, in Australia – as in most of the rest of the world – these kinds of incidents would have passed utterly unremarked and without redress. They were not serious – just part of the game, uttered in the heat of the gladiatorial contest on the field and the passionate partisan cheering in the stands.
几年前，在澳大利亚——以及世界很多地方——这些事件可能会被可耻地忽略并缺乏任何矫正措施。人们认为这无伤大雅——那是比赛的一部份，不过是沙场上的角斗士或者对立党派成员发泄激情的一种方式而已。
