Rumour Multiple GWS players are set to be suspended to start the 2025 season after distasteful costumes and skits from their post-season function

what exactly defines the three of these things as woke ?

It seems any marked emphasis on DEI is considered woke

 

[weltschmerz]

what exactly defines the three of these things as woke ?

Women and people of colour being in leading roles, one would guess

Go woke, go broke is true in the entertainment industry.

• The Marvels, lost $$$
• Women Ghostbusters remake, lost $$$
• New woke star wars shows, lost $$$

lmao piss off you turnip

 

[Cmarsh]

This is speculation but if something like blackface or other offensive to minorities actions were portrayed then the players involved would probably be looking at 6-10 game bans easily. The AFL would want to send a message.

 

[Bluechip66]

Apparently leaked photo from the night!

 

[MarcMaverick]

What next, cameras and tape recorders in the showers and locker rooms to make sure the boys don't say anything inappropriate

Don't give them any ideas.

 

[Thomasno]

what exactly defines the three of these things as woke ?

Women being the central character mainly. Extra woke points for if the woman in question is not Caucasian

 

[Borough Blood]

Disney?

$172USD is broke?

 

[Elixuh]

The fact that the afl is considering banning a few players tells me they’re probably not regular senior players

 

[JHF1870]

Maybe blackface? But who would be that stupid?

Noones gonna be like oh yeah, thats a good idea. Could be distasteful or could be nothing blown up

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

$172USD is broke?

It’s Go broke

Give it another 10 years

It's a curious one because since it was behind closed doors, it seems a stretch (from how severely this is being presented) that behaviour was the issue. Like if they were horsing around and fake sticking broom handles up each others' bums it's hard to draw a line to causing fear in a bystander (since if you want to stick broom handles up your mate's bums, that's perfectly ok as long as everyone consents).

To take a wild guess, it seems like the mere fact of how they were dressed is the issue that could cause staff at the function or whatever to be severely uncomfortable and that would seem to leave either blackface or nazis.

You’ve come up with two profitable yet underperforming films as proof that organisations that ‘go woke, go broke’. Amazing.

 

[HarryFlashman]

Try $95 - significantly down from 2yrs ago.
that’s for getting my hopes up the share price went back up

 

[Sizzlesilk]

This could only mean there was homophobia involved.

Sigh.

Why are you still here?
You wanted a bet.
You initiated it.
You lost.
You were to delete your account.
Please explain.

Was Erin Brockovich woke ?
Kill Bill ?
Tomb Raider?
Charlies Angels?
Silence of the Lambs?

Remember the outrage when Richmond players were caught poking each other bums in the dressing room?
Never underestimate the stupidity of the world we are living in.

They were just embracing cultural diversity - look up the wiki article for the (widespread in schools) Japanese practice called 'Kancho'.

If you're against it, you're a racist.

I had to Google it, didn’t I?

I'm sure people whinged about those too, but as long as men were still the target audience they could manage.

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Star wars and Ghost busters all reported a net profit???
This is weak as.

Love your commercial insight. Apparently making "some momey" is just as good as making "more money". Typical inner city lefty logic

 

[geoffjennings79]

While awaiting further details, I suspect there are 17 clubs now keen to play GWS in round zero.

I thought that was cos they were shit. One can’t just put a woman or minority cast in then jerk themselves off they have created something original.

Need fully fleshed out characters, good story line etc.

We are wildly off topic now, but saying “go woke go broke” is absurd. They are corporations they do it because they want to make money, doesn’t always work but that is the point of it.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

I personally like that we don’t even know what the players did, what they dressed up as or how the acted… but apparently it’s gotta be ‘woke’ because some halfwit says so.

 

[Sewer de Lance]

It’s not like they were found inebriated & unresponsive in the back of a night club & taken away in an ambulance, that would definitely be worthy of a sanction…..oh wait, that type of behaviour is kosher apparently.
