Not the point at all and you are deflecting rather than saying “you know what, yeah I got that wrong”.

Don’t believe I did.

is anyone on the forum gonna buy the gay jersey?

They’re already sold out

They’re already sold out

I have a feeling they'll become valuable collectors items.

The SMH are reporting that the NRL would be open to a "Pride Round" next year

Well it's a pride jersey not a gay jersey but I would not by a Manly jersey. If the Broncos bring out a pride jersey I will probably buy it, assuming they aren't all sold out like the Manly ones are.

That word.. inclusive... has been abducted and taken off to a holding cell for extended torture until it's reshaped in the form of a weapon, in the culture wars. It's usually much more about compliance and intolerance when that word is used.

Disgusted at the current result from this Manly issue. Mask off moment, IMO

Seasons ruined for Manly now, should have forced those players to either play or quit.

Don’t worry, the world is heading that way unfortunately.

Good, the quicker we move on from normalising bigotry toward race, sexuality, etc. the better :)

 

[IceWorks]

Is taking the knee still a thing? Could consider introducing that next time they play the national anthem, or that isn’t played any more?

 

[Super Freak]

A lot of this could have been avoided if the NRL had any common sense and just allowed the players to wear the jersey with the white stripes instead. You would hardly notice it when watching the game, you would be too focused on the play.

NRL have their rules about the jerseys being the same, but they could have thrown out for this week and a lot of this shit storm could have been avoided.

Manly's handling of this situation has been atrocious. Not only to not consult with the playing group when making the jersey, but when the shit storm started they send out the fucking coach and the captain to front it while they hide away in the background. Incompetence.

On another topic, Dale Finucane fought his charge and lost. He's been suspended for 3 weeks instead of 2.

he's actually only out for 2 weeks

The Sharks successfully had the charge downgraded after the guilty verdict

Warning. Do not hurt Panthers even if it's an accidental head clash.
