So over the past few years we have seen gender fluid, preferred pronouns and ' if you believe you are something no one has the right to not to believe you' but what's going on with the pasifika players names???
I get that players want their names said correctly BUT what's doing with Marty Tapau? At the tigers he was Tapau. At Manly he was Tapau. But now he's at the Broncs he's something completely different apprently. ..... WTF is going on.
I'm sure It's Taupau![st_table="45%"][st_tr][st_td_row="2"][/st_td_row][st_td]EOL now nesting on the GC - silvertails.net[/st_td][/st_tr][st_tr][st_td="0.7"]JOINED: .April 28, 2016
