POLL - Do you support KNEELING?

[Cotchins Hair Piece]

iBeng RUOK? Sounds like you need to go and find your safe space.

 

[iBeng]

Youre an angry person and beyond rationale conversation. Welcome to my ignore list.

Good.

Live in your own world.

Im pretty good, I didnt get triggered over a bunch of people kneeling.

How about you?

 

[The Goon]

I mean, yeah. We literally went to war and killed Nazi's because we disagreed with them.

I haven’t seen burn that good in ages. You win 1 internet good sir.

None of that is relevant to the point that I made in that post, which was that the action taken was not in support of BLM in it’s American context, but rather a local concern.

So the question remains what support of Australian footballers shown in the past to indigenous players who have died in police custody?

Holy crap I didnt realise critical thinking was this lacking.

Must be hard encountering people who dare to disagree with you, hey? Better accuse them of lacking critical thinking! Especially after you lose an argument...

Nah, we were just intolerant of their message. Us intolerant left.

Yes, shame on him. He should only be reading the guardian, watching ABC and all the other lef- I mean impartial news sources in Australia.

There's no shame in watching Fox News, reading the Herald-Sun or listening to 3AW - the shame is in not being able to differentiate between opinion and news.

I view it cynically to be hopping on the bandwagon.

Where was the solidarity re racism for Adam Goodes?

I dont mind people disagreeing with me, its the ones who refuse to accept any additional information or view on the subject and just double down.

I have changed my opinion on something before. Its not hard. Little bit scary. But it happens.

They're standing up for the rights of oppressed minorities, not supporting an authoritarian regime with goals for committing genocide.

Bit different

So apart from PR stunts what real action are they going to do to show their real support for oppressed minorities?

Bringing attention to it isnt good enough for you? Do you want them to quit their jobs and go over and start changing an entire society?

Exactly. It will be interesting to see the replies or excuses

No, all I'm asking is where in the past have they shown their support for indigenous Australians who have died in police custody.
I think that's a fair question.

Why can’t they start now?

Thats fair, and to quote someone elses response:

But you would then say that you cant support everything so they shouldnt try because keep politics out of footy.

Dude, you were practically creaming yourself over someone typing in caps. Pot. Kettle. Black.

Because they did? Does there have to be an agenda to people having empathy?

I find conservatives more ready to admit the right wing media is biased, than the left will admit about their media.

That's easily answered with a Google search. The AFL does a hell of a lot for communities.

In this case, they are showing solidarity with oppressed people.

If you're still going to complain about that, you'd probably still complain regardless of what action they take

 

[The Goon]

Why did they start now?

You’d have to ask them.

If we drew a Venn diagram of people who booed Adam Goodes, and people who complain about kneeling, the Venn diagram would just be a neat circle

Yep. Utterly transparent.
