NRL set to introduce New Zealand Maori clash with Indigenous All Stars

Some things have resulted in such terrible atrocities so many times over and over throughout history that they need to be treated in absolutes...

I ask you seriously what do you think would have happened if the NRL wasn't promoting this game and was instead promoting an English heritage vs Celtic heritage or whatever match instead, honestly what do you think the response would be to that?

It would seem absurd, and they would cop shit for it.

Neither of those cultures are indigenous to the countries involved in the NRL competition.

You're a massive bullshit artist and I don't believe a word you've typed on this forum.

My bet is your account will be banned by the end of the week.
lol!!!

I only joined this forum because I deleted my profile on league express after 7 years because of censorship and threats of bans by the moderators because of my political views on Donald trump, Russia, US, UK and nato foreign policy etc.

I really don’t know what I’ve said that’s triggered you but I would suggest that you but me on ignore if you don’t like my views on RL or even politics.

Now ask yourself why it would be absurd when it is those cultures but not Maori or Aboriginal culture?

Is it just cause they are native cultures that it is ok "celebrate" them, or is cause of other reasons as well.

Does the fact that a culture isn't native thereby make it unworthy for celebration, are only native cultures worthy of celebration?

What do you think would happen if that English heritage vs Celtic heritage game celebrating those cultures was hosted in England by the RFL?

Didn’t we already have that with the war of the roses. Yorkshire v Lancashire? And to a lesser extent Cumbria?

It would be widely celebrated and pretty much has been done since the game was invented in 1908.

Because this is the kind of BS I had to put up with on league express on the “another other business” threads.

Like I said if you don’t like my views put me on ignore but I don’t appreciate dishonest accusations about my character or personal insults.

Nice cherry picking... But pretty much everybody disagrees, even the Australian Human Rights Commission of all people.

Also I'd say that everybody that isn't Aboriginal or Maori has been prevented from competing on an "even footing" considering that they've just been bared from participating in that level of RL based on their race or ethnicity...
Who has been treated less favourably? No one will be disadvantaged by not playing in this game because they are not Aboriginal or Maori.

In fact there is greater discrimination in State of Origin eligibility than there is in this game.

You really think that every game played is a celebration of English and/or Celtic culture?

Does that mean that when Brasil plays Germany in Soccer they are celebrating English culture?

Surely you realise that isn't the case right!?
