I don’t fundamentally disagree with you - he seems like a repeat offender racist dickhead so should face consequences - but my point is that this is not in the top 100 issues we should be talking about. Its a chart position disagreement rather than issue disagreement.
It’s a positive that noone seems to be arguing that what happened to him was unfair/not necessary.
People idolise that prick and the players at clubs like Collingwood, if they see them being ignorant misogynistic racist arseholes they think it justifies their shitty behaviour, slapping down shits like McGuire sends a much broader message than you seem to recognise and sends a clear message to knuckle-dragging boofheads that the times are changing and their racist shit is past its use by date.
No - I said the exact opposite:
“He seems like a repeat offender racist dickhead so should face consequences…”. My issue is the weight given to this compared to other problems.
“Remove your caps” is a thing now I guess.
I’m sure tacking on little extra bits of US-style anthem-ing has absolutely nothing to do with BLM and concerns over racism in the footy, right?
I’ve never really understood the whole pre-game entertainment thing in sport. The Superbowl seems to be the pinnacle and the AFL and NRL want to emulate that as much as possible. It’s the grand final of the sport that you love, what tops that?
