Isn't it funny how certain states go in cycles.
Look at Victoria now for instance, home of the supercilious tosser.

Yeah, states don't actually go in cycles of collective behaviour and the idea that WA during that time period would have been a place where racism wasn't a part of the football work, much less unheard of is laughable.

This doesn’t sound like complete bullshit at all.
Not the same as your experience of WA footy in that time period?

Not the same as my experience in Australia in that time period, full stop.
Pretending like WA were somehow different is fun though I guess.

Nothing is driving the “woke!!!” brigade crazier than this 
It’s actually hilarious though… there’s not a person regardless of religion etc who would take the slightest offence at anybody saying Merry Christmas. Yet some clubs can’t say it

The general consensus with Hawks fans is they grow up in the leafy eastern suburbs so would lean conservative. Alot live in the outer East and South East which is working class which is where the leaning left comes from ( if you have half a brain and know a bit about what left and right stand for).

A post railing against "the woke agenda" littered with basic spelling errors, colour me shocked.

Exactly, culture wars are used to pit the working/middle classes against each other while we all get screwed by the robber barons stealing all the wealth/resources. It's unbelievable how many people fall for this garbage.

Well it sure wasn't invented by latinos because it's the most hated term in the history of Latin America so who else could have come up with it. It's greatest uses are on college campuses (controlled by white leftists) and progressive news outlets (controlled by white leftists)

2/18 teams have done it, a minority.
By the way the game's going, items such as the stand rule designed to fix the "state of the game" during Richmonds dynasty?
Well I'm sure everyone's experience of Australia in that time period was exactly the same as yours.
At least pretending it was is fun for you though I guess.
Opinions from an ignorant position are laughable.
Okey mate. Keep railing against whatever outrage bait has been fed to you today.

Far less abuse in the WA leagues towards Aboriginals than around the rest of the country. This was especially the case around Perth, not so much in remote leagues.
How do you know this? Did you play in them all? Venture out to every ground around the country?

Personal Experience and by speaking to thousands of others.

Wow, I’m almost embarrassed on behalf of my club - how did we get to this?
I recently chatted with a Swans fan who claimed that homophobia was not an issue in football. It didn't exist anymore as they had not witnessed it at hundreds of games they had attended.
Anyway, there are still issues of racism in the WA Leagues now, like the South Bunbury incident, Maxwell Jetta, and stuff like this. Were the 80s/90s some kind of utopian age WA has slid backwards from?
