The game wasn’t the most entertaining but interestingly, after Aboriginal players looked downcast during and refused to sing the national anthem a discourse is rising led by the Aboriginal all stars captain and the coach too. They’re calling for a discussion about changing the national anthem and perhaps a referendum so that Aboriginal people across the nation feel more included.
We must applaud these men for speaking their truths
Unfortunately I worry for Aboriginal Afl players who might want to join the chorus or stand up and loudly say the same publicly. The Afl supporters would likely rise in their thousands and start booing them during games, the majority of them would cowardly state it’s because the player who stood up against the anthem was a dirty player of some sort
The codes and their supporters are like chalk and cheese on Indigenous/Australia relations.
