Is The AFL Racist?

[King-Eliagh]

Prove that it's 90 percent Anglo. Oh that's right - you can't.

You're the Pauline Hanson supporter, not me. Cultural bigot.

Wow what a lovely looking bunch of 90% anglo fellas

[King-Eliagh]

Raider listed something like a hundred incidents just a few months back. Need we go over the same old story. There's clearly a problem there and unfortunately those who ignore racism simply perpetuate it. You're one of ... those guys Xman

Interesting how you're ignoring the NRL racism thread now there has been another racism incident in the NRL in the last week.

The NRL clearly has a far greater problem with racism. It really is very concerning. So much for the benefits of a greater percentage of players from non anglosaxon ethic groups!

Shut your yappin bitch. I've been busy and dont always have the time to read your dribble. I've replied appropriately in that thread now though so get on your reading glasses and for gods sake fetch some triple length ear cleaners to clean out the mass of runny faeces lying between your ears before you post a reply.

One club doesn't make an argument, KE, you racist.

Given the AFL has 10% indigenous players, plus other non Anglo players like Nic Natanui, Harry Obrien, David Roden, Setanta Ohalpin, K Hunt, Falou, Majak Daw, Bacha Houli, and others, you are clearly wrong.

[King-Eliagh]

Oh sorry. It was an estimate. Shall we say 87% anglo?

Comon Xman, its pretty clear my estimate is accurate. Join me on this one and lets try and teach TLPG a thing or two about the ethnic backgrounds of ALF players

The only reason the NRL have a different makeup is the game is well suited to the physique of players from the pacific island region. Other than that they are no different. They have few if any players from Asia, India, south America, south east Asia....

No you haven't you lying racist. You've posted two and not even two make an argument.

You are the cultural bigot as proven on the other thread.

Hey King Bogan, burnt any crosses in the front yard of any Indigenous families lately?

[King-Eliagh]

So Xman you think the game is not suited to the physiques of islanders? A simple enough reason but I wouldnt be pushing it. Islanders aren't all the one shape you know and there's plenty of positions in marngrook in which a big frame is an advantage. We also must remember that Pacific Islanders living in Australia are integrating into a new country and picking up different customs as they integrate. Diets change when people move country, as do recreational interests such as sport. The AFL would be best to heed my words here rather than Xman's narrow ones and aim for a more ethnically diverse code, like RL.

TLPG can you not count as well as read? Why do you so boldly lie to our members TLPG? I'll now quote my pictures for the members and your benefit TLPG and I want you to count them. One at a time now.

[King-Eliagh]

No I'm sorry, there's italians, lebanese, greeks and englishmen among others aplenty in the NRL. These nations primary sports are generally soccer but no, they've been welcomed into RL.

There's clearly a significant difference between the two comps when it comes to multiculral players. What we need to do is figure out why. And i think Xman comes up with a fairly decent point. 'Australian'...'Rules' is not played o/s beyond a bunch of xpats. Yes this is a big reason. Add on to that the name of the game and the ridiculous 'anti australian' proportion of anglos playing the game and well, what recent migrant can see any sortof reflection of themselves in the game?

You're getting there xman. Keep up the good thinking matey.

The AFL is a reflection of the country it's played in. The majority of players are a mix of the races that make up that country. However given many nationalities have migrated to Australia there are many different people from a wide variety of nationalities playing, as the link I posted earlier showed. 51 different countries to be exactly.

The NRL is a reflection of the countries RL is played in. The majority of players are a mix of the races that make up those countries.

Simple.

Basically this team shot of the bunnies could easily be a poster for harmony day celebrations. The AFL team snapshot would not offend a white supremicist group.

I just cant agree with you Xman, that the AFL reflects multicultural australia.

Now count slowly and one at a time TLPG

[King-Eliagh]

Diversity increases tolerance.

Correct - and the AFL has more of it than the NRL. Don't give me this limitation to the definition of ethnicity - because that claim is racist and intolerant. 51 countries are represented in the AFL over the years. How many are represented in the NRL over the years? You have failed to provide evidence to prove that it's anywhere near 51. At present - until you prove otherwise - I don't believe it to be any more than about 20 and even that is a guess.

Laughable. Hitler would've only been mildly disappointed with your interpretation of ethnic diversity TLPG. Racism is based on difference and fear and misunderstanding of such difference. History to date has proven that the most overt and disgraceful forms of racism occur when differences are sharpest i.e. skin colour/appearance and established cultural differences which cause tension such as religious values. The makeup of the AFL playing population is definitely markedly similar in their outward appearance i.e. 90% anglo. The numbers of recent migrants i.e. those with the most marked differences in culture and values, playing in the AFL is minimal.



RL on the other hand personifies the multicultural ideal.



Thems the facts but thanks for agreeing that diversity builds tolerance TLPG.

Easy now. One at a time.

Ok that's all of them. Now is I want you to count again. Is it really two pictures TLPG?
