"Rampant Racism" that is "Very Toxic" in the NRL

[Xman]

What you said after the comma proves my point.

Sure does, it isnt current attitude.

[Striker]

No you don't realise what you actually said. It proves that there is an agenda to make sure that what Rendell said becomes reality!

Not according to Goodes who has stated Indigenous players are better supported in the AFL than ever. This was Rendells concern given the way the AFL was becoming more professional each year, and unfortunately for him he lost his job for it. As ive stated, all clubs continue to recruit indigenous players without issue. Once this stops you may have a point. Until then you have nothing and Goodes' says everything

[Striker]

They recruit for show and for no other reason. If you were telling the truth there would be no racism! But there is! Goodes admitted it! So stick that where the sun doesn't shine, douche!

No racism....give me a break

recruit for show.......token recruits just to look good.....are you suggesting professional teams with limited list numbers and draft selections waste picks on indigenous kids to look good....

this just keeps getting funnier!

[Striker]

If you think it's funny you're seriously fucked.

[Xman]

If you think it's funny you're seriously fucked.

Your "theories" are funny, and fucked. Theyre based on nothing but your strange and twisted imagination. Find some evidence FFS!

[King-Eliagh]

So Xman thinks a white man who suggests a policy to only hire aboriginal players with one white parent isnt racist.

And he believes that when goodes says racism is happening often on the field that

goodes is pleased

with the situation.

[Striker]

TY, El!

If he had of said it was his policy it is definitely racist.

Rendell said he had put to Mifsud that many indigenous players grew up in communities with fewer rules and regulations than the non-indigenous population and therefore found it tougher to adjust to AFL requirements.

Clearly this racist git, who then went on to say Adelaide might soon have to only recruit Indigenous players with one white parent, has never heard of the kinship system. Fewer rules and regulations indeed!

Just another ignorant racist who hasnt taken the time to learn one skerrick about the culture and people he makes sweeping statements about. Good riddance and well done to the crows, not the AFL, for booting this racist git.

(fat dumbo) Demetriou, who said the AFL did not orchestrate the resignation and left the matter entirely up to the Crows, said Trigg had advised Rendell to go away for a couple of hours and think about what he said.

Hmm, lets see. The behaviour of elite athletes are scrutenised like celebrities. Their evey actions are examined at an intense level and then broadcast to the entire country no matter how minor the issue. Therefore clubs demand that players behave at a certain standard to ensure they represent the club and its values appropriately. Indigenous players from remote parts of Australia will be totally unfamiliar to this fishbowl way of life. even players who are familiar with the city life, and have grown up watching their heroes actions splashed all over the papers struggle to adapt.

This is reality, not racism.

Here is what Rendell said about his comment on the one white parent issue:"I said to 'Jase' [Mifsud] that the attrition rate was too high at the moment. He agreed that there were too many indigenous players dropping out of the system. I said, 'I've got my theories, tell me if you reckon I'm right'," Rendell said. When he then declared indigenous players generally came from more laidback families and were "not prepared for AFL life as others . . . he [Mifsud] said, 'That's a fair assumption of Aboriginal life' ".
"I was using that as a basis for an idea I had to help more indigenous players stay in the system. I want every kid to play 10 years no matter where they are from," he said. "I said to Jason there is a serious issue that needs to be addressed right now. It was a throwaway line — a ridiculous line — but I said you might find we only recruit players with only one white parent."

He never said it was policy. He never recruited in this manner. He never told others to recruit in this manner. Others did not recruit in this manner.

Add to that he was forced to resign because of his comments.the AFL acted swiftly and severely, unlike the NRL on multiple racial issues

Dear members please note the above and my signature. Xman doesnt read much, which is a shame because he would learn so much from me. For example, that fat dumbo demetriou and the AFL didnt do jack diddly... Beaussie I think it highly unwise to have given Xman a position as a mod, although I do understand your original decision, he seemed like a decent bloke. But you can make up for your mistake. I urge you to reconsider your original decision to give a man who has openly admitted he doesnt bother reading all posts mod status...I mean can this guy really moderate when he doesnt read the posts?

I suggest Raiderdave would be a fine mod in his place. Or if you must continue your biased ways towards AFL supporters,pookus could do a better job than our Xman with his eyes closed.

THe AFL did jack diddly. The man makes and continues to make sweeping ignorant comments about Aboriginal people that belong in the 19th Century. "laid back families" ...what exactly does that mean? Can someone educate these ex AFL employees and Xman? I've tried the latter but he doesnt read too good so its useless. The mod who cant read :_<>

Want a tissue?

And you think Rendell, out of the goodness of his heart, even though he believed he was misunderstood, just decided to quite......
