It may not hurt anyone. But what happens if a player refuses to do it? We will see I guess.

We won't see.

I've no doubt there would be a number of players opposed to this, but it could be career destroying to refuse.

Imagine being compelled to make a political statement by your employer or otherwise face mass ostracisation.

 

[The Goon]

even more fun watching the wokeness in your beloved Victoriastan take hold

Its awesome isn't it? The desperate clutching at straws, the use of hot-button terms vainfully hopeful of a bite, all the while looking like impotent fools. It's all on display here!

 

[purplearmy]

Maintain your dignity and don't kneel for any cause or for any person. This is a PR stunt. Just play the game and escape the real life dramas. They are unnecessarily forcing people to choose sides, just as the AFL entered the gay marriage debate.

 

[HaroLad]

Actions speak louder than words, but to have two big clubs come together, under the spotlight of a footy starved public is a great way to show that the AFL is right behind the BLM movement and all it stands for.

I wonder if the AFL supports this?

Or this?

The AFL should 'get behind' the BLM cause and 'all it stands for' right? Including the sentiment that 'whiteness is not humaness'.

 

[Bostonian]

The virtue signalling will be so strong there's a chance it might even have to power to reach Alien in far outer space.

 

[BigPond101]

Didn't realise the sentance for that was to be choked to death under a knee a few years later?

It's not, that's why the policeman responsible was charged with murder within a week

“Wokeness” - I don’t even know what it means but I like it, something else that offends bogans

 

[Bomberboyokay]

The highlight of these things is watching bogans getting offended. Plenty to see in this thread

“Wokeness” - I don’t even know what it means but I like it, something else that offends bogans

Plenty of non-bogans with shitty racist views.

I would say the AFL definitely support it, if they can get a new sponsor and i would say the AFL players association with Mr Woke himself Dangerfield would also support it, it all sounds pretty hip over a double soy latte.

They also call for the destruction of the west, defunding Police and the traditional family unit.

did anyone say Marxism ......

 

[Godchin]

My wife's boyfriend and my daughter (formerly son) both think it's a fantastic gesture.

Yeah but it’s the bogans who are fun to watch get offended.

Nobody is taking a knee for Carl Williams.

stop talking about your mum like that

 

[Bunk Moreland]

my mums not offended by this. She couldn’t give a shit, she probably doesn’t even know it’s happening.

yer, like most bogans, they couldn't give a shit!

A mistake rather than a lie - he’s not intending to deceive or hoodwink anyone. The convicts weren’t slaves, they served their sentences as labour for the settlers and were then freed. The real slaves were the South Sea islanders that were rounded up and brought here to work by various means.

Sugar slaves

White Society used them as labourers when needed and discarded them when no longer needed: they were coerced and expendable labour Human Rights & Equal Opportunity Commission 1992 Australian South

Slave trade was a huge part of the western world. A thing which makes people a bit awkward. As you said. South sea workers, aboriginal maids were all slaves. Not systematic as some other countries, but to dismiss any slavery in Australias part is naieve at best.

The irony of the AFL is that they will happily destroy decades, if not hundreds of years of tradition, based on middle mangers with average IQs changing the rules to make a name for themselves, but any left-wing socialist cause that is trending, they will happily jump on the bandwagon at a second’s notice.

 

[Coaster2012]

Ita actually racist to compare the African American experience with the indigenous Austalian one just because they have the same skin color. Thats racial profiling at it purest. No one in America is holding up signs saying "Native American Lives Matter". This is a different cause altogether that requires it's own response.

 

[Catsnlakers]

It may not hurt anyone. But what happens if a player refuses to do it? We will see I guess.

I sincerely hope a player does refuse, because it’s extremely doubtful that all 44 players on that ground would support the cause....But these days people are actually getting pressured into doing ( or not doing in this case ) things they don’t truly support or actually believe themselves.....The AFL should of left this issue alone, just like they should of left the same-sex marriage issue alone....They are a sporting organisation, not a political party, & therefore they should not lean on any of there constituents to go a certain way....Eg To take a knee tonight, or to vote “Yes”....It’s not there jurisdiction.

 

[Toump Ass]

Does the AFL assume all viewers agree with their stance?

Of course they don't. That's why they're doing it- to educate the neanderthals that make up a part of their audience.

BLM is an inherently Marxist institution.

One of the founders is an open Marxist.

True, I’m sure there’s more than a few strong supporters of murder among the playing group.

Would like someone to stay standing, and when asked why, say they standing for the 80 people shot in Chicago this week who aren’t getting a mention.
