You're the Pauline Hanson wannabe, KE! You are non chalant to the issue, because you are trying to paint up the AFL as racist, when in fact they are doing the best that they can. The NRL don't give a stuff! Start attacking them instead of the guys who are actually fighting racism!

Listen up Peanut brain. I have attacked the NRL for their inaction because I am objective. And I'm not painting the AFL as racist, that would be quite simply stupider than the lovechild of you and Xman. I'm highlighting there is more potential for racism within the AFL organisation, particularly due to its lack of ethnic diversity. As I already highlighted racism is most prominent and most occurent when people are perceived wrongly and marginalised due to their appearance i.e. skin colour, or when their customs and values are sharply different due to religion and other belief systems. Anyone with half a peanut brain can understand the concept of racism as i just described. Goodseys exacmple of the disgusting racist taunt to him by a high profle player is a clear example of racism and ignorance. Now anyone with a set of eyes can see that all AFL teams are predominantly white and anglo and its accepted (even by peanut brain tlpg) theory that diversity breeds tolerance.

Got the picture yet sunshine?

You have not attacked the NRL once on this issue. Not once. But you're all over the AFL on it. as you are on all the other issues. You are not objective. You are attacking the AFL exclusively for your own petty agenda, and in the process supporting the racism that is a far bigger problem in the NRL than it is in the AFL. That is why you are a racist, along with the fact that you refuse to recognise the progress that has been made since Goodes started playing - and you don't want it to progress. You want it to stay the same. Ditto your anglo reference white is highly offensive and downright inaccurate as the numbers of Italians, Greeks and indeed Aborigines whoa re playing the great game of footy!

We all know what racism is. We see it on this forum every time you post defending your impossible position.

Got the picture yet sunshine?

Or maybe you're too stupid to understand the concept of 51 countries represented in a code like ours and what it proves!

Ahhh hellloooo mcfly? Anyone home?

What's the title of this thread TLPG?

As I've highlighted before your bias knows no bounds and blinds you to reality. Your above quote in relation to the title of this thread could not put it more bluntly...

Now if you go to the thread regarding the NRL and racism I quite clearly am disappointed in whats happened and is happening. If only you AFL dingbats were as objective as i the world would be a better place

As for the rest of your dribble in your post? Meh It's absolute garbage.

I would expect that dribble from a moronic troll like you. I'm not biased - you are. Against the AFL.

Meh

I'm just tellin it how it is. The AFL resembles the Australia of 80years ago. British, some greeks and italians and indigenous folk and thats it. And 80 years ago australia was a much more racist place. The NRL represents the Australia of today and tomorrow. A multicultural mixing pot, its harmony day every day in the NRL :D compared to the AFL comp that is

50% Polynesian is a representation of Australia is it?

The AFL represents the Australia of today and tomorrow. A multicultural mixing pot, its harmony day every day in the AFL compared to the NRL comp that is. 51 countries prove that as fact.

No i think the stats are significantly less than that for polynesia, which by the way is representative of numerous countries...but our narrow Xman dont see and acknowledge that

No the percentages in RL are more like

A diverse group of numerous Pacific Island nations 37%
Anglo 37%
Indigenous 11%
A diverse group of middle eastern countries 5%
Southern Euro 4%
A very diverse 7% from numerous other nations.

Yes a real mixing pot, not dominated by any one group. Those who have researched the notion of multiculturalis like myself would agree its basically the equivalent of the multicultural ideal right here in the NRL. Something to celebrate, and something for the AFL to aspire to.

Oh and TLPG if we were to use your definition of 'players representing other nations' i.e. someone who was born in iran to two anglo aussie diplomats and lived there for the first 6months before moving back to melbourne. Then the numbers of nations represented in the NRL would be well over 100 :D

Prove it with names and countries like has been previously done with the list of 51 for the AFL.

Prove the validity of the recent immigrant non anlgo status of that 51 countries list.

And then give us the numbers of players who can validly be called non anglo recent immigrants. Then we'll compare it to the NRL ok? :D This will be for your benefit not mine, cause unlike you im not blind.

No Xman. Pure guess work would be rightfully attributed to some goon who has stated "I have no idea about the game of RL and never watched it" i.e. you my friend.

I've been watching and reading about the NRL comp since the 80's. Most of those numbers are within 5% and based on facts. I estimated a couple based on my decades of experience. Overall its an accurate picture of the multicultural melting pot that is the NRL. Jealous?

Many of our NRL supporters clearly know nothing about ARs yet post away. Just because I don't watch RL regularly, nor have played the game, doesn't mean I can't have an opinion about the way it's run or the support it achieves, or the spectacle it provides.

I beg to differ Xman. You dont know anything about it nor watch it so you should be humble, especially in regards to the spectacle it provides.
