I I think the terminology of your claim in this case was poor and is worthy of a BS point personally.

Whether you like the terminology or not, you are shooting the messenger not the culprit.
It's the nrl who had this polically incorrect event.
I believe the AFL decided against doing similar quite some time before this event.
I believe the event is politically incorrect and can't believe it went ahead.
I believe people who support such events and the events themselves belong in the era of the language I used
and I used such language to emphasise how outdated their thinking is.

cooee, I believe has not denied that he is favour of this event.
I have made it very clear that this type of event is politically incorrect, uncalled for in this time and a throw back to the "black Vs white" White Australia days which we all are supposed to be ashamed of.
So who's the racist ?

This is off topic and irrelevant. Whether you or I agree with the concept doesn't matter. You described the game in a way that was innacurate and was challenged by cooee as BS. It is this description you need to justify, not the appropriateness of the game itself.

Beaussie are you implying all media and RL fans see it as this? It looks as though you are so please confirm this statement

Simply stating it is a fact that many in the media and RL fans in general see it that way. Are they racist for viewing this game that way? Hmm

I don't see any evidence of RL fans calling the game blacks vs whites. Only a racist Aussie Rules supporter called COS789.

What, you're coffin ? :P :P :P

I have shown this is a racist game, run along racist lines.
There is absloutely no question about that.
The fact that it is a racist celebration only makes it worse.

I have shown that newspapers and the public do percieve this as a "blacks Vs whites" affair.
The greatestest number of hits for "blacks Vs whites" comes from the rl LU site.
SO the terminology must be well accepted within rl peers.

Then concede and FO, because I have answered all points so far.

I have been asked to give examples of common usuage of that expression
and it occurs on LU which shows there's no AFL bias.

So you agree Cos is racist.

In this respect, yes. It's disappointing.
