Tayla Harris just got immortalised with a Bronze Statue....

[projectv]

It's just a statue.

Why do conservatives get triggered so easily.

 

[Lavender Bushranger]

Do you even read before you start puffing like an ape? If you want to celebrate women in sport and put it on a political agenda use someone that has dedicated their life and achieved something for women to strive for not a statue that's a response to immature tweets from teenagers. This means nothing and bloody laughable people are comparing this to Winmar

Shit man, your fragile ego and small mind will ****ing explode if someone ever dares to so some form of tribute to an indigenous woman!


It's Ok man. Keep up the outrage. Good for you.
Fight the good fight to keep people in their place.

 

[Pessimistic]

Of course it's not.

It's a symbolic tribute to the cause of women being represented in domestic Australian sport.

And the encouragement the AFLW has provided for 10s of 1000s of girls to pursue a career or hobby that they previously never could.


It's pretty ******* obvious dude.

And womens footy is smashing the ‘soccer moms worrying about little john/joanne being injured playing footy’ problem the sport has

Its the current admins finest moment NOW GIVE THE HAWKS A TEAM you plodders

It's pretty ******* obvious dude.

Which just proves it's a load of shit.

I can name some super star female cyclists from the 30's that were famous nation wide.

How does a middle aged bloke in 2019 know of these star Australian athletes from that era and all these pseudo female sporting pioneers and their cheerleaders don't?

Joyce Barry >>>>>> Tayla Harris

Are you kidding ? Female football has been played for decades.

It was funded by the conservatives haha

 

[Kappa]

To be fair, she's played over 10 games and kicked 4 goals in the elite AFLW competition.

Things like this just hold women back, it's incredibly condescending. Sends the message that women are weak and need to be looked over. "wow you survived some online trolls, for a women that's incredibly brave.."

 

[Yidaki]

Why are you triggered about conservatives apparently being triggered?

 

[Pessimistic]

Ha ! Imagine the squabbling from the ones that missed out.

Women generally dont get too excited about statues of them

So funny that losers likes you get all angry coz someone made some art of a female, a female footballer . Hahaha
Get over yourself , no need for any indignance.
You read in to it that this means she is better than other females sportspeople , or that she is being compared to Nicky Winmar, NO.
It is a statue .

Your anger is so funny and shows how naive your are. Park your rage and grows up.

 

[Jobe Watson]

Sooz put up with more abuse from online trolls than Tayla Harris ever did. Deserves a statue at Arden Street.

 

[VicBased]

I like the shape.

 

[beta_condition]

s**t man, your fragile ego and small mind will ******* explode if someone ever dares to so some form of tribute to an indigenous woman!

You know assuming people identity based on political views is sweet irony for what your apparently fighting against but thank you for assuming I'm white, how dare I have my own view and how dare I call out a bullshit tribute when there's real people that have contributed that should be recognised not a token.

It’s exactly this.
That image has become somewhat of a flagship symbol of women’s footy, if they were set on a statue based around AFLW, it’s an obvious choice.
I don’t see what there is to be upset about, you don’t think she deserves a statue? Wonderful, but why take offence?

I agree.

Nothing makes me angrier than when a good cause is highlighted, and another good cause isn't.

Makes me so angry. Makes me wanna denigtate the good cause to highlight how wro g it is that a good cause hasn't been highlighted.

??
Who assumed you were white?

 

[SickQwon]

This thread has turned into a game of 'spot the Pauline Hanson voter'.

'

Conservatives don't get triggered.

Right wing and left wing people do though. So easily.

 

[Pessimistic]

Also KB shouldnt have accepted a statue while tucky and royce hart dont ave one.

 

[Yidaki]

This thread has turned into a game of 'spot the Pauline Hanson voter'.

Or spot the Richard Di Natale voter.

 

[kreglze]

Ehh NAB is paying for it, clearly them trying to garner some good publicity.

It isn't like this will be erected around the MCG alongside the other great sports people there, it is just a harmless statue, paid for by a bank.

Hmmm.


So basically, you want the right to call something out, without someone else having the right to call you out for it?

I think you'll find plenty of people who think its pointless and undeserved who also aren't particularly offended by it.

Lovely personal insult when you cant actual argue against what someone said, I have no problem with a FEMALE statue so don't sprout bullshit I never said. I have problem with it's token nature its harmful to its cause pick and celebrate a female people can really aspire to. When you look at a statue it should tell a story and invoke emotion and a tale, can you say this statue does that in any way?

It's a weak cause.

Built around victimhood. Nothing empowers a person more than starting from the point of being a victim.
