RL Discrimination

[ReddFelon]

From the first article.

THE SAFEST SPORTS: 1. Walking and running 2. Golf 3. Racquet sports 4. Water sports 5. Dancing 6. Fishing

Water sports - how many drownings are there each year?
Dancing - WTF?
Fishing - I'm quite sure a lot of people get washed off rocks when rockfishing.

The people that drown don't drown in water polo games and competitive swimming. They drown at the beach because they're usually migrants who've never seen water outside of the shower.

So we'll count the deaths and injuries from fishing are only those who participate in fishing competitions.

Ok then.....

Fire up your social media folks, do your bit.

This is disgraceful. They are like the Sporting Taliban over there. Just imagine the smug AFL loving assholes who got this in black and white as an actual policy!

That's a terrible comparison to even begin with but you do realise the info you posted says "safest sports" right? Some gronk who goes rock fishing and gets washed away wouldn't really be considered a "sporting death" and as far as water sports is concerned it's sort of actively in the name as water SPORTS. Some kid in a backyard pool isn't involved in a water sport, sport implies at least some level of organisation.

Could you please explain why dancing is considered a sport in that article?

In exact same way there are figure skating and cheerleading competitions.

This smacks more of Union influence TBH. Bankwest have been a major sponsor of Union Jnr programs and the Western Force. Me thinks their CEO may be a Ruggers man?

f**k a petition..The WARL should just take it straight to the anti discrimination commission...must be plenty of evidenve to support them.

Rugby League has always been considered more dangerous than other sports. I remember when I was in primary school, back around 1990/91, all the kids who wanted to play league had to get written permission from their parents. None of the other sports had to.

Just don't use Bankwest or Commbank, simple.

Doesn't address the biased behaviour though does it? As a Bankwest customer I've let them know I'll be moving banks unless they address it.

I remember hearing somewhere that making the game uninsurable was one of the tactics used by Italian Union in the 1950s to strangle the game in its infancy over there. There's form for this kind of strategy and it's f**king pathetic.

Considering how terrible Australian Rules is on peoples knees and hips and the damage Union can do to your back this is some straight up bullshit.

Have you contacted all the usual radio nobheads?

I'm sure Hadley would take an interest in this.

It's already had a run on 6PR as I understand.

Turns out this isn't the first act of discrimination by this bank! Another Jnr club had previously received this knock back! Could they be any more obvious that they have a thing against RL??
