FitzSimons calls black official "gorilla". No Goodes-style outrage?

Peter FitzSimons savaged a 13-year-old girl who called Adam Goodes an "ape". But 55-year-old FitzSimons on national television has just called a black  official a "gorilla".  Where's the outrage? (UPDATED: FitzSimons in 2014: "If calling a black man a “gorilla”  ... is not racial abuse, what the hell does it take?") The tape on tonight's show.

Peter FitzSimons said the cops should have been called when a 13-year-old in a crowd called Adam Goodes, an Aboriginal player, an "ape".

Will the cops be called now that the 55-year-old FitzSimons on national television calls a black South African sports official a "gorilla"?

Peter FitzSimons last year:

This bullshit has been echoed by the usual acolytes in columns, talkback forums and all the rest, by the same people who previously have maintained in seeming seriousness that calling an Indigenous man a "black c---" is not racist, that telling a man to "go back to the zoo" is not racist, that calling him an "ape" is not racist – most especially if the girl who called him that is only 13 years old.

Ah yes, the 13-year-old girl, repeatedly shouting at Goodes two years ago that he was an "ape", at which point Goodes quite rightly informed security.

Even better, Peter FitzSimons in 2014:

If calling a black man a “gorilla” and an “ape” is not racial abuse, what the hell does it take?

Reader Ian on Peter FitzSimons this week:

Andrew, you should check out Peter Fitzsimons on Sky SportsNight on Tuesday night discussing the Faf du Plessis controversy. Got himself tied up in knots after referring to the (black) South African official who shoved a journalist as a “gorilla”.

To be fair, he did quickly realise his blunder and was at great pains to explain that “in Australia” the word “gorilla” refers to a security guard and is not at all a racial slur. Shame he didn’t allow the same benefit of the doubt when he was piling on to that 14 year old girl a couple of years back over the use of the term “ape”.
