Which is why we need to press the state government to punish schools that discriminate against RL. Take away their funding and fine them $50k a year. Discrimination is discrimination. Time to make the bastards pay.none of which will suddenly see private schools offering RL! And your kidding yourself if you think it will make any difference to media coverage of other sports.

I've met the sort of people that run the elite schools. They are snobby bastards who hate RL and are dyed in the wool rah rah fans. They make good money from charging high tuition fees and are stinking rich, so there's not much RL can do to get them on board.you can’t make a school play a sport, you can only entice them with incentives! Pretty sure of the qrl offered the right incentives, and if RL stopped being so up itself about being the “working mans game”, these institutions would get interested, especially if the kids demand it. I mean who ever thought we’d have a Cambridge v Oxford rugby league varsity game?
do you know of this two year trial is continuing this year?

You are right about classism being part of life.Tbf I grew up in a city where no comprehensive school would have offered union as an option as it was seen as a snobby sport. Maybe it’s just life that class systems exist?

It's good that the AIC is offering RL in Term 3, but from what I read on Villanova's website, kids from that school can only play RL if they played soccer or RU. So it's still a form of discrimination.
It is discrimination when its aim is to advantage one party over another. Blocking RL outright or putting roadblocks in front of it is something that RU has been doing since 1895. A few years ago an Australian man was put in jail in the UAE, at the request of the UAE RU, for using his own money to develop rugby league. RL was banned in France during the 1930s and had its money and assets seized and handed to the French RU. England kept RL out of the military and schools until the 1990s.A rule is not discrimination.
That is like saying the criminal justice system is unfair because it discriminates against people who commit crimes

No it isn’t. Any organisation can have exclusive deals or preferred partners.It is discrimination when its aim is to advantage one party over another.

I didn't know that. I read an article many years ago saying it was banned in the military and schools, or something to that effect. It was probably based on wrong info. Can't trust the media.englands never kept league out of schools. Some schools play union, some play league, some play both.
How businesses decide to spend their money is up to them. If it's in poor taste then people will boycott and send them broke.No it isn’t. Any organisation can have exclusive deals or preferred partners.
If VB does a deal to have it as the exclusive beer at the SCG, is that discrimination against Tooheys drinkers?
No, it is just smart business.

Schools are meant to be centres for learning without politics or commercialism getting in the way. It's about getting kids to engage in physical activity and developing skills that will prepare them for the real world. Kids should be taught about all the sports played in Australia and given the chance to play them all to see which one is for them.
Mixing commercialism with schools has caused all sorts of health problems in America. Schools across America sign deals with fast food companies to only serve their brand at the tuckshop. Kids across America are growing up eating Macca's, Hungry Jacks, Dominos, Pizza Hut, Coke, Pepsi and other unhealthy crap for lunch and it is causing all sorts of diseases that will impact their quality and quantity of life.
Agree with all that. But a private school in particular is entitled to state their offering and parents can choose to send their kids there, or elsewhere. It is not discrimination.How businesses decide to spend their money is up to them. If it's in poor taste then people will boycott and send them broke.

Apparently Villanova are now offering RL because parents cracked up about it not being in the curriculum.Agree with all that. But a private school in particular is entitled to state their offering and parents can choose to send their kids there, or elsewhere. It is not discrimination.
Bah. Unless you want to be a lawyer, or in high commerce, school makes no difference. Uni and your results way more important.Apparently Villanova are now offering RL because parents cracked up about it not being in the curriculum.
Parents can decide to take their kids to another school, but when all the most prestigious schools only offer RU, what choice is there?
Plenty of people won't send their kids to a state school because they believe it will harm their chances of getting a good job.
