it is also worth mentioning that both Crisp and Noble wore rainbow shoe laces yesterday in support of pride.

Yeah, that didn't get a lot of publicity. I wonder how that went down with her team mates, there's quite a lot of Lesbians playing in the AFLW.

The 7 Manly players aren't exactly homogeneous in their backgrounds here either. Real mix of backgrounds and beliefs.

And their team got pantsed.

With half your first choice team out, not an unpredictable result.

Any Manly loss is a good one.

Good stuff from the two lads; I didn't realise that.

As Stui alludes, it's even more of an affront with the opening of professional sport to women. The breaking down of oppressive gendered assumptions about who should play what has had a damaging exclusionary effect on women and the LBGT community both. It's one and the same problem.

Religion, which needs its own defending in other contexts despite itself, doesn't have some god-given right to harm people (you'd think that goes without saying even from its own perspective given its claims to morality, but such are the contradictions). Every special dispensation enabling religion to violate rights has to go, and this highlights just why.

Apparently, Putin is looking for people to join his crusade against modern civilisation. Two beets, a withered potato, a shot of vodka and a one-way ticket to Siberia is the going offer.

My SIL born and raised in the Bondi area is a friggin Manly and Geelong supporter. My daughter is a pies supporter.

Apart from batting out of his league I got the Pies baby membership but he got the NRL rights

soooooo people who pray to what ever god or imaginary figure they choose can boycott but the people who fought for your freedom have to take it? no absolutley not. just as with the covid riots i am so sick of the sacred ground of the shrine being used for any kind of protest or other stuff

"“I think the Shrine is sacrosanct and shouldn’t be used in that way, not just for gay and LGBTQI issues but on any issues,” he said.

“It’s one thing to illuminate Town Hall or Flinders Street Station. I think it’s a bigger step to illuminate the Shrine.”"

yep

why does every single thing in society and every day life have to come out and wave flags for the flavour of the month cause?

i totally get wht footy has an indigenous round, its appropriate, but the rest, mothers, gay, umpires for ****, no, over it

The main lesson from all of this is that Manly should have recognised their player demographic and simply consulted with them, before they had Pride jersey's manufactured months ago and sent to celebrities.

If they had of done that genuinely then some of that 7 players might have felt happy to wear the jersey and none of this shit would have happened.
