Serious question about NRL's direction

[Xman]

Cos you closet racist. These 'Islanders' you talk of? Who are they? You clearly insinuate they are not Australian but somehow different? Mind telling us why?

These classic AFL folk. They only see in black and white

Coming from the racist league of Australia, thats a bit rich! SOO anyone?

Hellooooo? Cos? Can you answer my questions any better than Xman, who has been unable to argue you're not racist, but argued you're just 'not as bad' as those NSW supporting goons at the SOO.

Thanks for drawing the comparison Xman but I believe that racists are as bad as eachother in their ignorance.

stop talking shite. I merely highlighted the hypocricy of an NRL supporter claiming others are racist.

It's ok little Johnny, you can play vfl this year because ya mum just married a white guy

what happened to the racist NRL fans in the NSW SOO supporter group? Nothing, thats what.

Meanwhile an AFL recruiter said the AFL need to consider special consideration for indigenous recruits to help them adapt and he lost his job.

Which is the code with the racism issues?

Whenever I have a look at rl these days I see more and more players of Islander deccent.
IMO rl has been flawed by pitching itself as the "working man's game" when the AFL pitches itself as the game for everybody. Now having all these Islanders is good for the standard of the game and for promoting NZ but over the very long term is rl going to be seen as the "Islander game" and not a game for Australians. We already have NZ being seen as the home of SH RU maybe it consume rl as well leaving Australia to play Australian Football. I know there is some concern about this in junior ranks.

The fact that you have made this observation Cos just makes me hate you AFL types even more.........what a fuckin racists ***** you are, Thank god for the Australia us NSW live in were everyone gets a chance to succeed no matter what race you are. The NRL works in the same way, every player in the NRL has more or less earned there spot in our competition, race should have nothing to do with it.

Unfortunately the same cant be said for the AFL.

NRL more popular outside it's hearland then the AFL

Just look at the teams in the NRL to see the real work being done to stamp out racists like Cos.

Well what you did had nothing to do with my pos so why quote it? You either know you cant answer the questions I posed so you oh so subtley tried to change the subject or you feel you had no option but to make the comparison between cos's racism and the racism of those blues supporters, thus aiming to make cos's ignorance pale. Now Xman tell me its not the latter ... Thing is racism is racism, shocking in all its forms

Cos? Get in here and defend yourself mate! Xman's making you look pretty bad, right up there with those SOO NSW blues racists.

And before you open it, shut yer gob TLPG, I've outed you already and trust me, you dont want more of your old ignorant racist posts quoted again

Thanks X

Please explain how Cos' comments are racist....

[King-Eliagh]

is rl going to be seen as the "Islander game" and not a game for Australians

.

Cos clearly differentiates 'Islanders' from 'Australians' in his post, insinuating that the 'Islanders' playing RL in Australia are somehow not Australian. This notion and differing of others which cos has shamefully displayed is not at all dissimilar to the racist gits who have been unceremoniously paraded in front of us all on the popular SBS doco "go back to where you came from".

I await cos's answers to my questions...

Unfortunately though his quote below doesnt do himself any favours in reducing his ignorance. Islanders good for promoting NZ? I'd say this ones an open and closed case. We got our hands on another AFL racist folks

Now having all these Islanders is good for promoting NZ

Shut yer gob TLPG

What they do?

I was busy watching the game, not the spectators.

Exactly you cant insinuate that having people from island nations is bad for our game and get away with it........he is clearly a racist or on his way to becoming one

Cos has to work for AFL HQ.

He is peddling the same mumbo jumbo the AFL peddles.

The Australian Game..........

Now nothing wrong with promoting your game as the Australian game but the fans/dumb fans have taken this propaganda by the AFL literally it seems.


The title of the thread is so misleading, it does not make any sense to me at all.....

Thread title fail if you ask me.... =D>

All this post from Cos has proven is that it is the AFL and the direction they are taking which is a worry, not only are they pouring money into these endless money pits (gws,suns) they are also producing people like Cos and Aflwarrior as fans........ =D> =D>

Wow, youre on a roll champ! seriously, try reading a post until you comprehend it!

He never said having islanders playing in the NRL was bad for the league. He said having such a high proportion, like 50%, is bad. Thats completely different. He is not criticising this racial group or their involvment, hes criticising the fact they represent such a large proportion of the players and how less and less are from the country that hosts this particular league. 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.

His comments were critical but they were in no way racist.

And here i was pegging you as only a borderline ignorant racist AFL supporter

This has to be your dumbest post yet Xman. A large percentage (approx half) of these 'Islander' rugby league players the pair of these clowns, Xman and Cos, talk about were born on the same island as themselves. They're Australian you silly turnip. And your fear mongering shreiks that a high percentage of these players is a bad thing is clearly harking back to the racist white Australia and assimilation policies.

The worst thing? You bogans dont even know you're racist. But the NRL fans do...they make me proud

Clear proof here folks. The AFL and its fans have a looooooong way to go before they catch up with the positive nature of multicultural Australia. The NRL and NRL fans? They're in sync. with modern Australia.

TLPG, yer gob. Shut it



Yer gob, TLPG. Shut it

The fact is that Australia is primarily made up of people with British ancestory, so mainly caucasian. A comp that has a predominatly polynesian make up is not a real reflection of Australias population. All great, good on them. However, I agree with Cos, this isn not a good way to promote the NRL as an Australian league because the majority of players are from different racial backgrounds to Australias racial mix.

Shocking stuff yet again Xman. Your first bolded comment is simply untrue and is clearly based on the most common and weakass component of a racists makeup. Fear of difference.

And in the second bolded statemet yet again you suggest, as cos does, that polynesian australians are somehow less australian than those australians with "british ancestry".

Thank god many Australians and our government have generally progressed from eliciting attitudes such as yours Xman. Otherwise we'd still be stuck with the white Australia policy.

Fancy that, suggesting that having a high proportion of a particular "race" succeeding at the highest level of a sport is a "bad" thing. Racist by definition right there.

I guess it all makes sense though. The NRL is a competition in which an international sport is played. It is therefore inevitably much more culturally accepting than the insular AFL competition. A lot to learn you AFL folk. A lot to learn.

Youre full of wind....

I absolutely encourage different races playing in any Australian competition. But when the greatest proportion of the comps participants is from one ethnic group, and that ethnic group is not even close to the racial mix our population represents, thats not a good advertisment for that sport in our community.

Simple. Claim its racist, i dont care. But deep down you know its not a comment against these races but a comment about the sport and competition.

As I said folks, he doesnt even know it.

"Not a comment against Islanders"? "Not racist"? Ummm hows about you go into one of the local Islander communities in Sydney with your soapbox and stand there with your microphone and state what you just said?

when the greatest proportion of the NRLs participants are of Islander descent, and Islanders are not even close to the racial mix our population represents, thats not a good advertisment for Rugby LEague in our community.

I'll leave it to all you folks to imagine what would happen next. All's I'll say is it would be quite amusing and deserved.


Oh Xman you've really outed yourself in this one. I take no credit whatsoever

The sad thing is while clearly racist Xman is also distorting the facts here to support his racist view...as most racists will do. The majority of people of Islander descent playing in the NRL were born in Australia. They've got every right to believe they are as 'Australian' as Xman and cos. IMO 'Australians' like Xman and Cos really should "go back to where they came from". Shocking views
