fumbleball ambassadors

[hutch]

When another sport has an article like this published in a major newspaper I’ll agree it’s not just rugby league that’s hard done by:http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/r...237188379?sv=7a4fcf2a4e45c39b681feb8eb9ac147f


When a paper has an atrocity meter for another sport I’ll agree it’s not just rugby league.

When another sport has articles written about the rotten culture, or that the sport is “yet again in crisis” or “another black eye for the code” or that the “sport is dying” I’ll agree it’s not just rugby league.

When another sport has the volume of its crowd measured and used as a reason to justify the above headlines I’ll agree it’s not just rugby league.

Wally Lewis of all people led his sports news segment with the scott bolton story on Nine the other night (must have been Sunday) with "yet ANOTHER scandal in the NRL...."

Remember these merkins hold the rights

 

[Disinterested third party]

The King should have refused to read it.

 

[Perth Red]

More sht hitting the AFL fan in the West with the dockers coach now in trouble for some altercation in a club a few years ago coming to light and a Dockers player getting in trouble in a Scarborough night club.

The afl racist story is a big one if its true, and on the same week NRL promotes indigenous contributions to our sport!
One of the very best things about our sport has always been its inclusiveness. Not many people know but Sir Clive Sullivan was the first coloured sportsman in any sport to captain an England/GB team.

Even the AFL compliant media must find it difficult to cover up that codes constant issues with racism. Wonder if more and more players will speak out, the AFL will be like weinstein.

You can add Stallion in here

Rugby league was also the first sport to have an indigenous Australian captain his country in Arthur Bergson.

In Rex Mossop's book he mentions that the exec's told him off because when he read Aussie rules results he would finish with "if anyone cares about them".

Followed closely by the 2nd indigenous captain Merl Meringa.

Once I agree with PR.Clive Sullivan in GB,and Arthur Beetson captaining the Kangaroos.Odd racism comments of course happened in rl, but that has just about died a natural death.

The dramas in the AFL seem to be, let's get over it,and play on.Imagine the Northern press doing that? It's regurgitated time and time again.
How many times has the following been dragged,bubblers/fdoggies/DUI alleged violence and actual against women.
if this hush money commentary has real legs,mayeb the dirty linen for the AFL including teh Swans will come out.I doubt it though.

Haha, damn auto correct. Of course I mean beetson (interesting that autocorrect just tried to change it to “beers on” just then so who knows what I originally typed).

Also, meninga is a south sea islander, not indigenous!

It’s Bergstrom.

 

[RL The greatest game]

Its really time that journos who cover other sports were revealed as being on the fumbleball pay roll. The truth needs to come out

Tomorrow’s backpage. I think we can establish that the daily telegraph are fumbleball ambassadors. Fancy having most of the back page filled with a picture of some stick insect most normal people in nsw have never heard of during origin period.

They had to have paid for that. Ambush marketing.

It's very typical pre Origin stuff tbh. They do it every year.
