Opinion Non-Crows AFL 6: This Is Getting Cruel

[Jetafl]

So word on the street is despite all that is going on in the world of netball our netballers are asking for a 20% pay increase.

I do find it funny that the first time I've ever seen netball being discussed on this board is because a host of dinosaurs are having a crack at them for 'going woke' and jumping in on the pile on against them - and now we've got unsubstantiated claims of what their player's association are asking for

I don't care about netball so maybe take it to the Boomerbook CircleJerks page (politically incorrect thread) or the netball board

They can’t even get their story straight.

It’s climate change?

No it wasn’t, it was racism.

Our only indigenous player (ever as far as I know) didn’t want to wear a guernsey with HP on it.

First, HP have said they wouldn’t appear on the guernsey.

Second, way to throw the indigenous player under the bus.

The BBC reports that the issue is (awful) comments made by Gina Rinehart's father, 38 years ago.

The National Indigenous Times says:

"There has been much criticism of Mrs Rinehart because Lang Hancock was her father. Since when do we judge someone because of who their parents are or were or what they said? ...Actions always speak louder than words."

Cmon mate, the National Indigenous Times is just made up of dinosaurs.

Just because they reckon its hypocritical of the netballers doesn't mean it really is.

Bloody just a lot of boomers working at the NIT.

Unsubstantiated claims coming directly from statements from Hancock Prospecting and the players themselves?

 

[radiojake]

when someone from bigfooty posts 'word on the street' without any links, forgive me for not taking it on face value

and again, since when does anyone on this board care about netball? they don't care, it's just an opportunity for a pile on

Agree. Which is why Gina pulled the sponsorship. She was sick of the pile on.

No wonder Port Powah have shied away from Teal jumpers, what an eye sore.

Unsurprising rant. Enjoy.

Bloody just a lot of white, male boomers working at the NIT.

Fixed

And don’t worry mate, one of the mods will be in to clean it up. They’re largely identical to you, except that they don’t lose their shit over the last post being too early on ANZAC day and waking them from their precious slumber.

I actually expected quite a bit of support for their stance. Even you don’t seem to be able to do that though.

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

It's amazing that netball hasn't been able to monetise itself

Most popular participant sport in Australia but makes barely a ripple. Scrounging around for pennies, hidden away on graveyard shift TV channels

Why don't netball players watch netball?

Bill Burr's WNBA rant rings true here

I'm sure the feds can just take 15mill out of the hundreds of millions, if not billions of tax breaks Gina gets every year to give to the netballers.

Gina is the biggest private tax payer in the country

He didn’t…surely

 

[1970crow]

Pretty sure it was him. Basically said ANZAC Day can eff off with the bugle at dawn and all the bullshit.

You don’t care so it should be moved?

Erm…
