Eagles defender Belinda Smith told the AFL players association: “The LGBTQI+ community has given so much to women’s football throughout our short history.
“I’m really pleased that 13 of the 14 clubs have really embraced pride round and they all have a story behind their jumpers and it’s really important to share those stories.”West Coast general manager of community and game development Richard O’Connnell said the club was conscious of not rushing the process for designing a pride jumper and was focusing this season on releasing its AFLW Indigenous jumper.
“We’re not going to rush that process because we want the introduction of a playing guernsey to be important to the club’s history and for when you look back in time. We want to do it properly and respectfully and that will take some time to do.”
Where's the club culture rule book ?
Back lash from who he made perfect sense let’s get on with it leave all that bullshit to Americans
He isn't wrong
At last a man that speaks the truth
He is right. Concentrate on the game. Stop loosing..
We need to have a age round for people over 50 as well.
Ok great. If they are that inclusive why arnt all the Tran s who think they are women allowed to play yet. Let’s see how that works out for them.
What’s the problem with wearing a jumper simply with club colours. That way it covers everyone. Simple as that. No wokey stuff, no “you missed out on me” stuff. After all. It’s just a game of footy.
And now by way of contrast …
Obvious in many comments is the combo of the “footy and beer” working class man. They are so insecure in their manhood that even a jumper represents a threat to them. Acknowledging that we all differ in desires and beliefs is beyond their grasp.
Well said Michael, for far too long the so called media have forgotten all about the game, there not interested unless it’s controversial.
Can we have a conversation about being a middle aged, heterosexual, white, male who’s relatively sane and has a job? No, didn’t think so. Because nobody gives a flying rats arse about who’s screwing who, age, ethnicity or your phobias. Get on with “it” the rest is irrelevant.
Another sport hijacked by the foul sjw clique to push the 'message'. We don't give a rat's turd about your agendas. We just want to watch footy. Pss off with your crap.
He’s right
Concentrate on virtue signalling and never make it to a final or play football. You can have both, but be happy being mediocre and enjoy watching other teams in the finals.
1. It's just a Pride 🏳️🌈 jumper for equality in sport 2. This is a ghetto for some real fragile heteroconformatives right here.
What a legend, says what 95% of the population are actually thinking
This pic idn't about the pride but you get the drift.
Footy coach is ‘spot on’ in his comments. The game should be the focus, instead of pandering to insecure minority groups, who want to hijack & foist their particular nondescript insipid views on others. Focus on the game, its development & skills through legitimate pride in game.
Fair enough we have an indigenous round but FFS why do we need a pride round? What’s next refugee round?
Do they want a footy coach or a woke philosopher? Pick one.
Sounds reasonable…
Based Coach
I'm with him its footy not a political or woke event.
Prior conviction should have been your headline
By 'slammed' do you mean supported by the majority of the population?
He is there to coach either way I mean where is the heterosexual round I’m sure he supports his players
