National anthem will not be played at NRL All Stars game after players voice concerns

The ARL Commission has scrapped the national anthem at the annual All Stars match on the advice of the game's Indigenous players.This will be the ninth edition of the All Stars game, which has been held on the Gold Coast since 2010

Indigenous All Stars captain Cody Walker said after that game that the national anthem did not represent him or his family

To be honest, who gives a fuck what these Players have to say or what they do?.

Hypocrites thier happy to make millions from the game the white fella brought here but can’t respect the anthem of the country that gave them the opportunity to make the money

I'm over the the NRL

What purpose does a national anthem serve anyway?

Oh the triggered responses to this decision are just hilarious

When is the PC disease going to be ignored. Minor groups infiltrating our administration. Just bugger off.

Division thriving. Us and them! But show me the money and happy to take it!!!

The Aussie people have scrapped all interest in this crap game!!!! Harvey Norman AllStars--- zero interest until 2060!!!!

It is a new National bullshit competition...no respect for history or country!!!!!

I wont be watching this rubbish!!!! I wouldnt walk across the road to watch it!!!! We wont be listening to meaningless talks before games by Elders or welcome to country or whatever either!!!!!!

No worries lads we don't feel represented by you if that's your decision. Enjoy your traditional indigenous sport.....

Australian anthem = racist Australians vs indigenous = not racist.

Not a fan. They should have been free to mark it how they want but then it's really not that important

Scrap it from everything. It's bloody awful. Sounds like it was written as a primary school class project.

Triggered a few 'patriots' here. 🙄😂

Then when the arse falls out of the game they'll scream 'RACISM'.

The whole concept of teams based on race is backwards in itself .

They may as well scrap the game, fck all interest in it.

Not happy with staging a racist event, the NRL has now removed any vestige of respect it had for this country. BoycottNRLAllStars NationalRacismLeage

That's the ANZAC Spirit!

So I’ve scrapped interest in the game 🙄

🤬 the ARLC 🖕

Go woke go broke
