Beccy displaying her pure and utter hatred of Rugby League

[hineyrulz]

But Beccy told me this only happens in Rugby League???

 

[PJ]

Well she was drunk at the time

 

[Ulysseus]

lol,I can't even be f**ked reading past the first few lines of whatever diatribe she is punching out these days.

 

[Timbo]

I honestly opened this thread with a plan on reading this, and then expressing my hatred towards her after reading her tripe.

But, for once, I just read the title and decided - no, I just don't care what she has to say. I honestly have no idea what she said in this article and I'm smarter for it.

Seconded.

 

[Big Mick]

He didn't say Aborigine.

He said "not too bad for an aborigine".

Obviously thought he was hip to use a bit of slang.

I can see AFL now..."His moustache is causing him to be a knob"

 

[Perth Red]

why are people surprised? I hear alot worse things said about aborigines in the pub and in general conversationa round the barbie all the time. It's just a sad reflection of where general white Australian society is at at this point in time.

Only positive is that there is at least some feigned outrage by the media (the same media who have no problem with racism towards boat people or printing never ending negative images and stories about our indigineous population I might add)

 

[Big Mick]

why are people surprised?

Obviously DUI Wilson is!

 

[Perth Red]

Obviously DUI Wilson is!

I very much doubt she is, I would love to know what her motivation is for writing an article of that ilk though, and also why Sydney people let her get away with it.

Must be something about Parra supporters, but they seem unable to rationally argue anything, just preferring to insult anyone who offers a counter point to their views.

I was just stating the facts. Can't you deal with facts that don't suit your view of the world?

Well ok then apologist, show me the Aboriginal team that the All stars in the NRL copied?

Rational enough? :roll:

Shouldn't be hard to prove your point.

 

[El Diablo]

maybe they're like the All Australian team lol

 

[hineyrulz]

maybe they're like the All Australian team lol

[ParraEelsNRL]

The All Aboriginal team eh?

Who do they play? :lol:

 

[Canard]

Haha. Love it

Also "Never happens in the AFL" Cocaine Use, Sexual assault including attempted rape, bashing of Indian taxi drivers for a $14 fare etc. etc.

The witch puts here hex on another sport!

 

[BuffaloRules]

This afternoon I sent an email to Peter Fitzsimons from the SMH highlighting bourbon bec's hypocrisy and asking for my comments to be published in "The Fitz files" tomorrow.

Alas, he replied that "the deadline was yesterday"....

Unfortunate...

I'm not reading a wiki link to some illusion of a team.

Put facts in please, team line up, what clubs they come from, who, where and when they played and the TV station it was broadcast on.

Shouldn't be too hard for a rational apologist like you.

Oh and I think you must have missed the Aboriginal teams that have played matches against other nations/cultures for years too, tick for RL again huh? :lol:

AFL have played an Indigenous All-Stars team game in Darwin every second year since 2003 (vs one of its clubs). So, yes, good on the NRL for the game this year, but its not exactly their original idea. (Just like State of Origin ;-))

I'm aware of that...one of the plebs at BigFooty informed me.

So the AFL has done it? Big deal, rugby league does it better....just like Origin ;-)

Yes, I'm aware also the McAuliffe pinched the idea from whoever was running the VFL then. Still, all those years later Jason Dunstall, who is from Cooparoo, was still getting around in a Big V jersey.

Aust rules (WAFL I think, not the VFL) invented the phrase "State of Origin" - they didn't invent the concept already long used in various sports of non-residential state/national qualification being adopted and used to call up non-residents. The Aust rules S of O was not a one-on-one game, and though it was played in 1977, it was sporadic (not every year) until well after RL began the 3-game series in 1982.

Nor did they invent the idea of an All-Indigenous sports team, a concept that stretches back from the 1868 Aboriginal cricket team, 1888 NZ Natives (Maori), to the Carlisle Indians, the Maori RL teams of 1908-09, the Maori RU teams, and the many Aboriginal RL teams first formed in the 1920s.

Looking around google seems that the Aust rules bi-annual Indigenous game has only been shown on ABC2 or ABC (late night replay).

Why? Can't you read? You really do have some chip on your shoulder about something.

No big deal, I was just pointing out to someone who used the All Stars game as an example of the NRL's superiority on matters aboriginal, that AFL had the same sort of game too. On face value the NRL one seems to have been a bigger deal, but its been done once, so lets maybe reserve judgement till its being going a few years and the novelty has worn off.

As for origin, I doubt even a diehard AFL fan would claim theirs was better than the RL one is. (I was actually surprised to learn just now that the A(V)FL one only started a few years before the RL one ... my impression had been it had been going much longer.)

As for Dunstall playing for Victoria I guess its no different than Inglis playing for Qld ;-)
