Too many racists in the game and following the game in general to be honest.
Please name these so-called racists.

Players shouldnt have to make a "stand" against racism. This is 2010.
The fact racism at all exists within the camp shows the racist and bogan culture thats killing the game right now.
The Specter of Hooliganism Returns
German soccer hooligans have made a violent return to the international stage with just over a year to go before Germany hosts the 2006 World Cup.
A Belgian riot police clubs an English soccer fan in the centre of Charleroi, Saturday June 17, 2000, following clashes between German and English hooligans ahead of the Euro 2000 soccer match England versus Germany.

If you can't see there is a problem with the NSW team's culture then I can't help you.
Why is that QLD can always pick their best team regardless of skin colour.
Why is that guys like Blacklock, Jennings, Choc, Preston Campbell and Nathan Merritt always overlooked because they were too "small", "not disciplined enough", "not good defenders". Or is it because they were too black.
Indigenous players have always faced far tougher odds to make the NSW team, that is obvious. Choc speaks sh*t sometimes but hes on the mark this time.
The NSW team culture has driven Choc to another sport, driven Tahu to abandon Origin.
how much more damage do they have to do before people wake up and say hey there's a proble.
RL had the first Aboriginal Captain of a National side decades before any other sport.
RL had the first Aboriginal to captain a club team in a Premiership winning side.
RL was also the first sport to have Aboriginals leave this country and play professional sport in another country.
RL played test matches against the Maori decades before other sports would even consider picking more than a token player.
RL has never banned anyone playing the game because of their race or religion.
RL has never got into bed with movements like Apartheid and Nazis.
RL has never had to use a quoter system so that other races get a fair go in the sport.
As far as I'm concerned, RL is a leader in sport and has a damn proud history compared to most others, a few idiots don't change this except if you're a troll.
Everyone can see that - but it's doesn't mean the code will die numbnuts.If you can't see there is a problem with the NSW team's culture then I can't help you.
They don't always pick their best team - in fact half their 3/4 line is from NSW :lol:Why is that QLD can always pick their best team regardless of skin colour.
Jennings got picked last year, and Choc got picked as well. You could argue about David Fairleigh and Mario Fenech not getting gurnseys too. Just because a player doesn't get picked doesn't mean it's race based. Besides, they picked Tahu, didn't they?Why is that guys like Blacklock, Jennings, Choc, Preston Campbell and Nathan Merritt always overlooked because they were too "small", "not disciplined enough", "not good defenders". Or is it because they were too black.
Choc wouldn't know his arse from his tit. He ignores the fact that he was kept out of the blues 6 jumper by another indigenous player - and one that was far better than he was.Indigenous players have always faced far tougher odds to make the NSW team, that is obvious. Choc speaks sh*t sometimes but hes on the mark this time.
Chocs ego went to another sport and he with it. Chocs cred is zero anyway - after the Barry Ward incident.The NSW team culture has driven Choc to another sport, driven Tahu to abandon Origin.
As much damage as has been done to your brain perhaps?how much more damage do they have to do before people wake up and say hey there's a proble.
If you can't accept that racism is evident throughout the community, then I can't help you either.If you can't see there is a problem with the NSW team's culture then I can't help you.

There is a direct link. Racist/Close Minded countries are insular, they fear foreign competition and direct investment into their countries. In today's globalised econmy, the funds just go elsewhere and insular economy stagnates.
You really think Australia's economy would still be posting gains if we didn't relax the immigration policy for the last decade? lol
lol. Good point about Matt Sing.Yet Phil Dukes was picked in the same period as Blacklock's uncle who I believe also missed out. Tingha - one of my favorite players - missed out because his defence was suss, a problem Matt Sing didn't have. Besides, NSW always had options - and still the most glaring omission from a NSW origin jumper has been the very white David Fairleigh.
Rugby League is dying
What on earth are you on about.
Soccer is a global game, how can a global game be racist.
