Players refusing to sing the National anthem in protest

[Canard]

I get it, you’re a hick and school uniforms that included shoes is upper class in your head

My "mommy" didn't own a Range Rover if that's what you're getting at.

 

[Canard]

I would like to send a heat seeking missle into your mummy's cellar than some posters on here could discuss matters without have trollydoll jumping in offering SFA in context to the matter at hand.

Another classic meltdown.

As is customary I wish to honour the traditional owners of this thread and as is also customary I wish to not let them know we will not be giving them their land back.

Low quality bait.

 

[Valheru]

Aside from telling Indigenous Australians the song isn't actually offensive, are you genuinely interested in finding a solution?

Happy to explore other options. I just question whether we will ever find a song that doesn't offend some portion of the population.

Do you think that is possible?

 

[Canard]

My daddy drove a HQ

So a inner city hipster, the worst kind of toff....

 

[Valheru]

Yes, and you can get picked for our footy team if you're a Murri, unlike Koori in NSW.

Radical concept I know

Umm this thread is directly related to comments made by indigenous people playing for NSW you fool.

Thank you for confirming you are from the most racist state in Australia

 

[magpie4ever]

I’m glad it does something for you.

I never asked my Irish catholic grandmother what she thought of the anthem. Would be interesting to know. She married a Protestant, so I guess anything is possible.

Excommunicated hey?

 

[grouch]

So your point is?

You want the flag, australia day & the anthem changed? Yes/No?

My point is you'll find any excuse to maintain status quo.
And yep.

[magpie4ever]

As an atheist socialist I used to balk at singing god save the queen!
I get why this countries First people would be pssed at the current anthem. As usual white people won’t be affected one jot if it is changed to be more respectful but will have a massive whinge about pc or some other sht anyways.

Good on the players, stick to your guns.

"I get why this countries First people would be pssed at the current anthem".

So what words, phrases, verses do you get as a pommy that would be so offensive to aboriginals?

 

[TheVelourFog]

lots of hysterical hypotheticals and whataboutism in here

how about you intellectual giants stick to discussing the actual topic at hand not your strawman slippery slopes

Make no mistake, I'm not blaming you for your racism, you were just raised that way.

Yep.

No, champ it is not that easy.

You want the flag, Australia Day and the anthem changed?

So describe the flag & anthem you want. And tell us the public holiday you want.

 

[Valheru]

Yep.

There will be some people that are offended due to the fact the anthem is changed regardless of what the alternative is.

 

[Valheru]

You won't induce the response you want from me.

You have proven time again you can't or won't have a rational debate so no point responding to you now.

Have a good weekend.

So don't bother trying right.

 

[typicalfan]

That isn't how it works, if people agree changes need to be made they should be made in a collaborative manner.

I always thought that this should be the national anthem

 

[TheVelourFog]

No, champ it is not that easy.

not relevant to the conversation, but that would probably be decided by committee

Well start the discussion, what changes do you want?
