Is it racist to cheer against the Indigenous team?

[AuDragon]

It doesn't matter much to me, but since this is a game of indigenous against the rest, and I'm not indigenous nor have any relationship to them... I'll support the rest!

Would it be racist to cheer for a white only team?

Actually you could argue that it's racist to pick a team based on one race only and exclude other races from playing in that team. That's called being politically correct.

Not at all. There are Aussies playing for NZ, England...even Fiji.

Because they have links to those respective nations.

Not because it's racist if they are not picked.

Race =/= nationality. There is a distinct difference.

Not at all.
It's why the highest polling All Star player is a dirty filthy grub.

[Canard]

I for one would definitely be of the opinion you were a racist if you were cheering against the indigenous team. I'd have little doubt in my mind. Frankly I'd think you were a racist for not-cheering for the indigenous team. That's what it's all about, it's a heartwarming celebration of indigenous australians in league.

Also just incidentally most of the best players are indigenous. Inglis, thurston, bowen, barba... if you love footy you'd cheer for these guys anyway, you'd have to have a shady motive to not cheer for them, racism being most likely.

Are there any threads about the 2013 game? Predicting sides etc?

 

[Tone83]

I assume that means you hate any white person who is proud of his country? Guess what, you're a racist.

Typically in real life anyone who doesn't hate those people is a racist. It's a pretty solid litmus test. Does this flag waving bogan arsehole bother you? No? You're a racist.

Your trolling is bad, and you should feel bad.

So should we actively boo and jeer the NRL All Star team?

nail. head.

 

[Frailty]

I go for the All Stars because if I were to play that's who I'd be playing for - just like why I go for NSW and Australia...

At least cringe when they do well.

You feel a bit suspicious when an all star is fired up playing hard. Like burgess I think this year or last was really fired up starting fights and shit, made him seem racist.

 

[IanG]

I'll be cheering for both teams. Looking forward to it. I'm going up to Brisbane for it next year
