Serious question about NRL's direction

[Xman]

its just another example of Victorian Rules fans being a bit backward
a bit ... 1960's in their outlook
a bit outdated

they cannot fathom that an Australian of polynesian descent .. is still an Australian
their racist tendencies & overtures aren't subtle & it seems its only this sport where the trait is apparent
RL the sport embraces different cultures .. or it has evolved this way

wether it be the Indigenousness of South Sydney
the Middle Easternness of the Bulldogs
or the Polynesianness of the Warriors

we see nothing but our fav sport being played ... by whom .. or where they or their parents .. grand parents are from .. we don;t care
VFL fans see colour
I mean seriously
do Americans still carry on about Blacks dominating their professional sports as either its stars or the sheer numb of them ?
no

they grew the F.uck up about 50 years ago

its about time our vicky kicky friends did the same

The mob of NRL NSW SOO fans who racially abused QLD SOO players say hi...

I agree Xman. But making judgement that the overrepresentation of a minority group exceeding on their own merit in a sport is bad and not representative of the Australian community is very racist.

Comprehende?

ah no you dont comprehend. I never said it was a bad thing. I said it may cause issues like the one described in the article I linked.

Oh dear. Backpeddling on his words like a shonky corrupt politician.

[Cos] said having such a high proportion [of Islanders0, like 50%, is bad. .... hes criticising the fact they represent such a large proportion of the players. And in all honesty I agree with him. The NRL is supposedly an Australian league. Yet having a massive proportion of players from other regions makes it less relevant to Australia.

You did say it was a bad thing Xman Until you admit your racist undertones you will always be a racist. Now out with it Xman, share your guilt. Look, really, its just your ignorance and fear which has made you a racist. Acknowledge your ignorance and fear and you'll be a better person....like all us NRL supporters on this website

Comprehende?

[King-Eliagh]

I'm asking you all kindly to stop playing Rugby League, or perhaps only allow one out of 20 to play RL. The NRL is an Australian league. Having a massive proportion of players from other regions is bad and makes it less relevant to Australia. I repeat, having a massive proportion of players from other regions makes it less relevant to Australia.

A little boy in the community peeps "but i was born in Australia and I want to play Rugby League?"

No, I'm sorry sonny, but you're not Australian and as such you are less relevant. Thankyou for your time everyone. I'm Xman. Oh and before I forget dont any one of you or any of your families dare think of playing AUSTRALIAN rules, ever!

Again the aftermath wouldnt be pretty for our Xman but it would be a fair and just response to such a speech.


Note: Xman's glorious speech has been written directly from his quotes and argument in this thread.

I comprehend that youre taking my comment out of context.

Well done.... =D> =D>

Wait a second. You dont agree with cos that it is a "bad" thing if a high proportion of players of Islander descent play in the NRL?

Cause that's exactly what you said. If you want to reneg on this dumb racist comment now that's fine, just acknowledge it as it was

I agree that its not the best thing for the NRL in this country, which has nothing to do with the racial group at all, but more about the balance of participants.

Continue to make racist accusations if you wish but the NRL media have written about this too, as I have posted, so are they all racist too?

[Xman]

Those figures are even greater at the age group and schools level, so much so, that a decline in young players of Aboriginal and European descent has seen some authorities ask for the rules to be changed, the most important a weight for age rule that concerned parents are pushing for out of the safety of their children. Young Pacific island boys tended to develop faster than others and it was no uncommon to see kids weigh as much as 95kg in an under 11 match. That has created a dangerous mismatch in some games.

I agree that [players of Islander descent excelling on their own merit and being overrepresented in the NRL] its not the best thing for the NRL in this country, which has nothing to do with the racial group at all, but more about the balance of participants.

I've just added that you are talking about and categorising people of Islander descent in a box here...cause that's who you're talking about. Nothing to do about a racial group my ass!

Oh and a nice reference article Xman...but its referring to school kids and the weight for age issue. Not the percentage of Islanders playing in the NRL

This is priceless watching you try and get out of your racist comment. Keep squirming and squiggling Xman you racist bum!

Seriously, just admit your argument is narrow minded, and although not intentional, its racist. Just admit it Xman. You're not going to be hung drawn and quartered and many many folk have made ignorant racist remarks unintentionally. Just look at the debacles which went down in the AFL this year

ahem.......

[King-Eliagh]

Ahhh? How dumb are you? Your racist assertion, along with cos', was not in any way connected to "schools level RL". You referred directly to the NRL competition and that an overrepresentation of players of Islander descent was "bad"

More squirming and squiggling to change the focus of your initial quote Xman You cant change what you said, its been quoted by miyself and pies and is one of the all time dumbest most racist comments made on the site.

=D>

BS

Interpretate it any way you want, but ive linked two articles from NRL joournos talking about the exact same scenario with negative implications. They must be racists too...

[King-Eliagh]

I'm sorry but we all interprate your words as referring directly to exactly what you stated. Do i need to quote your racist comment again Xman? So you remember?

These journos are talking about completely different issues than you and cos in this thread, which i remind you is titled "Serious question about NRL's direction". Your articles are referring to:

1. SOO and representation
2. Junior competition and weight for age ratios

They're not stating that the high percentage Islanders in the NRL is a "bad" thing like you and cos did. That'd be ... well ... that'd be racist

You want me to requote you Xman? Cause its like your playing chinese whispers with yourself at the moment you silly looney. Your story has changed dramatically

lookout folks, this racist's baaackin riiiight up.. beeep beep beep

the NRL is the professional league of RL in Australia. This league has enormous influence on all levels of RL in Australia, just like the AFL does over ARs.

This is exactly what I was referring to.

Yes I know. And you were stating that a high percentage of players of Islander descent is a "bad" thing vis a vis the influence this might have.

I'm sorry but that my friend is...racist. To give you some more perspective. Please imagine yourself in the soapbox scenarios i posed. And then switch it to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.

What you are saying is by its very definition 'racist' Xman. You must acknowledge that a large proportion of these players you have racially reified were born in Australia and all of them have gained their position in the NRL on merit. Acknowledge that you silly coward and then you might realise your racial slur.

then line me up with all the RL fans and media who have made similar observations. =D>

it has nothing to do with a particular race at all, and everything to do with the domination of a sport by a group of people.
