Is there a roster on the fridge in the Peter FitzSimons/Lisa Wilkinson kitchen where the pirate and the princess decide whose week it is to show the world how dimwitted and divisive woke politics has become? This week, after seven players from the Manly rugby league club decided to sit out Thursday’s match rather than wear a pride jersey that clashes with their Christian beliefs, FitzSimons wanted to know: “What the hell is wrong with you blokes that you don’t get it? You are prepared to trash the entire Manly season on this issue alone? … For what? … Can we have a statement from the seven of you, to make clear your views, so we can all understand?”

The italics are his. FitzSimons may have fame and money, but credibility is proving more elusive. FitzSimons’s call for a statement from the seven players sounds like a new inquisition where heretics are called to account for their different views….

There was a very different reaction when AFLW player Haneen Zreika, a practising young Muslim woman, refused to play a footy game for GWS wearing a jersey that celebrated a pride round.

The head of the AFL’s inclusion policy, Tanya Hosch, said that “People of faith have rights as well”.

“We want the game to be inclusive; you don’t get to choose to just pick and choose who represents inclusion,” Hosch said.

Back then, there was no thundering condemnation from FitzSimons. Though disappointed, he pointed out that Zreika is “quietly declining to use her platform to promote a belief she’s not comfortable with”.

Did FitzSimons give the young GWS player a pass because she is a woman and a Muslim? Is targeting Christian players the last acceptable prejudice? It’s hard to follow FitzSimons’s logic.

In answer to the last point it is not just about Zreika being a woman and muslim. More importantly, she wasn’t playing league

I see where Anthony Mundine has come out and said Gina Rinehart should
apologize for some dumbass comments her old man said years ago.

Anthony Mundine's kids...."For f**k's sake Dad,please just shut the f**k up."

Apparently these days ,in schools it will be compulsory to read history books written by Pierre Skull Fitzvanker as the most reliable source of info on WW1 ,WW2, the Boer War, the Vietnam war, the Korean War, the War of the Roses,Napoleonic Wars as he was in fact an eyewitness to all.Oh and the Bay of Pigs invasion in Cuba (hence his love for the Che Guevara bandana).
Wondered where the term "pain in the a"se came from" ,now I know.

Mate I live in the NT and I personally know of ten families who think P Fitzwilkinson
is a flat out f**king liar.

On a side note after all the noise about Hancock Prospecting's history of racism
it's good to know the Victorian Government is a cleanskin in this regard.

Gonna be honest I hate this sort of logic and it's the exact same thing we were railing against fitzmoron using to argue against new stadiums in NSW. Not every cent of the governments money can or should go towards things like natural disasters or emergency services.

For the record sport is actually a very important thing and netball in particular has done wonders getting young women into sport and into exercise. It also doubles as a potential marketing campaign to get people interested in travelling or moving to Victoria.

People just trot out this BS excuse whenever money is spent on something they DON'T want but they conveniently forget about it when it's spent on something they DO want.

France coach Laurent Frayssinous, after they lost 62-4 to Samoa at the Rugby League World Cup: “But I don’t want to summarise our World Cup by the scoreboard we saw tonight.” Exactly. Judge us by the stylish cut of our uniforms.
