What's a Collingwood Conspiracy That You Believe To Be True?

[JoinDate]

Well it's not like this is original absolutely nothing wrong with it at all Many have said Darcy is gay which I'm all for he's a role model and if he were to come out (if he is gay) would make him even more of a leader to me
(I'm not personal gay but as I said nothing wrong with it and with how toxic some sports fans are in relation to sexuality I get why no one had come out yet

You're right, it's not original and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it.

Hi. Here is today's public service statement, brought to you by horse.


You lot seem kind of obsessed by guys sexuality sometimes. Here's a few tips

1) Just as a matter of interest, there is such a thing as being bi for example. Hi, my name is horse, and im one. I laugh every time I see someone type "well Ive seen X with a girlfriend at Y event, so he can't be into guys." Errrrr no. You really have no idea what someone's sexuality is from that data point. Just FYI.

2) If someone is not straight and hasnt gone public on that, that is their choice and they have reasons for it. Respect it and stop speculating.

3) I guess the speculation annoys me especially, because it seems to be treated as some sort of game I dunno. In reality, someone coming out and living publicly and openly as same sex attracted is likely to mean all of the below

• People you are close to and trust who you least expect will turn against you (there will always be someone. A family member. A friend. A coworker. A teammate. I cant tell you who, I just know it will happen)
• You will suddenly be subject to random harassment, abuse, and threats of physical violence if walking around with a same sex partner. It wont be all the time. But it will happen, and it will freak you out.
• Add to that actual physical violence will probably happen at some point.
• It will overall impact you negatively in ways you didnt anticipate and from directions you never expected.

Thats for someone out of the public eye. In the pubic eye, some of those are multiplied by a lot.

For those of us who damn the torpedoes and come out, thats a choice too and one made with eyes open, but I totally get someone not making that choice, especially in a world like AFL football. Its not a game. Its serious shit.

So, maybe, just maybe, go back to 2) above, and decide on something else to obsess over. please consider.

Yeah fair call. I’m a big believer in the whole ‘know better, do better’ thing, and I appreciate your post.

I think to those of us who are straight and accepting/supportive of those who aren’t (and only surround ourselves with like-minded people), we may be forgetful that a large part of the population probably isn’t accepting and supportive yet, because we don’t live it. I guess what I mean is, to someone who doesn’t have to actually do it, ‘coming out’ doesn’t seem like it’s a monumental thing anymore… when in fact, what the f**k would we really know about it?

Big love

[Hyakutake]

Nah, that’s called blue balls.

It's not a conscious thing but I think it's pretty telling that even now in a progressive and accepting time, whenever we as a public discuss a player's sexuality, we always label them as either Straight, Gay or occasionally Bi. There's a whole range of sexualities that a person can choose to identify as, but if they don't openly say it, we always go back to the big three. It can be as simple as "They don't have a girlfriend, so they must be gay"

Jamie had a girlfriend many years ago that he took to the Copeland at the time.

The pressure to conform is immense. Many years ago I had girlfriends too; it doesn't mean anything. Nor does being married for that matter.

 

[Pie eyed]

Darc is unbothered. As above, he exists in a time and space where such things are inconsequential.

Like the birdman in Flash Gordon?

Any of them horse lovers? Asking for a friend.

That would be a night-mare.
Sorry in advance.

Sorry in advance.

both you and JoinDate will be receiving a visit from the ponies.

Unless you surrender your belly buttons to me for lint extraction immediately

 

[Good Horse]

I really feel Darcy would be a flashier kind of birdman

 

[Obese Arachnid]

Hawkman.

 

[Good Horse]

Hawkman.

Gordon's ALIVE????

An individuals sexuality is up to them. Why do people expect people to put themselves in a box or conform to a label? There's already too many labels and boxes. Just let people be people, have sex with whoever (as long as it's consensual and legal) and stop obsessing over it.

I myself identify as pornosexual

That's an insult to animals.

I believe the AFL wants Collingwood to participate in finals every year but to not win premierships. Rule changes that hinder our advantage specifically (interchange rotations cap, subs, knee dropping rule, soft cap etc) and plenty of dodgy umpiring decisions at crucial times in big finals (Harmes OOB, Maynard block, Tarrant no free but Lynch gets one) prevent winning flags but small favours around the fixture assist us to make finals like plenty of MCG games, minimal travel and playing the Dees & Blues every year help etc.

One umpire gave 13 frees to swans,2 to the pies,should be investigated,26/15 free kick count,really fair.footy has turned into netball because of limp wristed,whistle happy,pillow biting umpires,shame,shame,shame afl,it's a man's game isn't it,this season has been too many games dictated results by really poor umpiring,lift your game afl,please

 

[Drought Break]

The ducking the head tackle rule perfected by Selwood and praised by media and umpires as "drawing" a free become outlawed once a pies player started doing it. Strange and suspicious that its now trendy again and reaping dividends when that same player has changed clubs.
