Moved Thread Kevin Sheedy calls on football to embrace sexual equality

[Donakebab]

Always thought the best tasting part of the Golden Gaytime were the nuts.

Isn't it ironic, don't ya think?

Yep so ironic, thanks for the insight Alanis.

 

[BEaston]

No surprise that people are getting bogged down on semantics rather than acknowledging the overall issue at hand.

It is bigfooty after all.

Alanis as in Morissette?

This is a thread about Kevin Sheedy and sexual equality. Nothing grinds my gears more than posters who can't stick to the topic at hand.

Dude, he's a crackpot who wants to commercialise anything true enough, but your zealous defence of the game belonging to your club is a bit cringe.

What a weird thing to say. Jeffrey Dahmer (for one) wasn't a very beautiful, caring person.

The "Milwaukee cannibal" was always one to divide opinion.

Afl should not be actively engaging in or implementing actions which are classed as social engineering. Particularly when they have issues within they need to manage.

What about it is social engineering?

I just thought it was about making the game welcoming to add many people as possible.

and then everyone dies.

Essendon supporters live in westeros?

Ashamed to say I had to google westeros. I'm behind with my television viewing and only just finished season 2 of Breaking Bad. Baby steps.

Learn what irony is and you wouldn't have had that problem.

 

[kickazz]

What about bigamists, are they beautiful and caring as well Sheeds ?.

Surely a man or woman for that matter should be able to marry as many partners as he or she wants if everyone is consenting ?

1. Well bigamy has more differences to monogamy than gays do to straight, particularly legal implications.

2. It does not have the level of support in our democracy that gay marriage does, not even close. So give that straw man a push down the slippery slope and maybe we can meet again someday when attitudes are different. That ain't today though.

"We are very slow in looking at different projects and the opportunity to actually look at life," he said. "Before Michael Long, 28 Aboriginals had played AFL football in the VFL. Since Michael Long, there's been 330. Why did it take that long? Because we're very careful and conservative.

The law of averages says there have already been gay footballers and there would be gay footballers today. The social stigma about coming out into a blokey cultured sport is the issue. You can be a closeted gay footballer, you can't really be a closeted Indigenous person. Sure someone like Koby Stevens could sneak under the radar if the AFL was some kind of apartheid comp, but Anthony McDonald-Tipungwuti can't really go full whiteface to blend in among the Clayton Olivers.

The principle of inclusiveness is the same, but it's two very different groups.

Yeah Kevin is all over the shop on this one. But perhaps this Neanderthal yet benevolent style of prose is exactly how best to communicate to those who need to hear the message most.

 

[Plugger35]

Surely another marquee game ey Kevin? Gaytime at the G?

Yeah it smacks of another attempt by Sheedy to hijack some cause so Essendon can be part of another bloody blockbuster.

Essendon already have the Anzac Day game, Dreamtime at the G and now the Country game with Geelong, that's more than enough for one club.

This might be the case if it was some press conference Sheeds organised, except it wasn't. He was a guest speaker at an event set up by an Essendon coterie group that has been in existence before the Saints held their first pride game.

Seems related to his nephew coming out of the closet. Perhaps it was a recent occurrence and he's just being supportive in his own senile way.

This really shouldn't be involved in our game, this is an issue for the government both state and federal should be dealing with. People go to the football to get away from this stuff, don't bring political issues like this into sport.
