NRL leads way on Indigenous issues (as usual)

[Hello, I'm The Doctor]

Rugby league was the first major Australian sport to commit to a Reconciliation Action Plan, but CEO Todd Greenberg wants the code to do even more in the future.

Thursday is National Close the Gap Day and Greenberg took the opportunity to reinforce the NRL's commitment to ending the gap between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and other Australians.

Greenberg was proud of the fact the NRL has this year become the first national sporting organisation to reach ''Elevate'' status, the highest of the four levels of the Reconciliations Action Plan.

Basically the NRL is the REAL Indigenous Game. Anglo/Irish Football can play with their bananas....

Well done those involved at NRLHQ. I know the development team do some great work up in Northern WA with the communities around the healthy lifestyle messaging.

Love how much opportunities and time our game gives to Aboriginals. Been a great leveller for them. Unlike in AFL where they get abused.
