Still?

Disgraceful, this bloke by all accounts is a top guy and a top player.

Let's get a tally happening for this weekend

- racist banner by Collingwood supporters who also happen to run racist political party
- Houli repeatedly called a terrorist
- woman punched at crows game
- fans block traffic to support drug cheats

More as it comes to hand

Banner put up by Neo-Nazi group UPF. The nutcase who leads these fuckwits admitted today he shoved the banner up his jumper and smuggled it into the ground (so much for security!). He doesn't follow either side (probably not the game either?) but put "go pies" on the banner to get attention to it. This is the same guy who posted on facebook that feminism is a Jewish plot to oppress males and that he wants portraits of Hitler in school classrooms. As I said he's a total nutjob.

it's opposing a building, not the religion itself :lol:

I wouldn't want one near me either, they're ugly as fuck (same with churches). If they looked like normal buildings no issue, but they do not.

"Pertaining to or characteristic of a people, especially a group (ethnic group) sharing a common and distinctive culture, religion, language, or the like."

Opposition to mosques it not enthic hatred :lol:

Islam is a religion not an ethnicity :lol:

One banner is inciting ethnic hatred, the other isn't.

So one is acceptable and one is not?

They're both politically motivated. Hypocrites.

Also regarding the banner, imagine the universal praise if they had put something like "save the refugees" on it.

Can't be seen to be opposing religious control of society....

Wondered where this thread was. The Hawthorn vs. Geelong game last week was riddled with umpiring decisions in favour of Hawthorn.

Same last night. Richmond lost because of skill errors and poor kicking but that late FK to Fasolo was disgraceful.

Next afl themed round...

Looks like AFL are condemning the banner.

Anti Muslim Banner at AFL game

Not that this has anything to do with AFL, its the plurality of 'Australians', society or community, those who go by the belief that "afl is great - if its their thing" its stuff like this which stirs discontent- although when Gerard Whately often says that the MCG is the Mecca of the sporting world: Mecca is Mecca, not the MCG

Hence the banner...

Drugs, nude photo scandals

On a totally unrelated matter the afl starts off in 3 and a half months...

It is not only winners who dope, it is not only the successful who dope. Some dope just to stay in a sport, some dope to be the best in the sport.

The chances that no AFL teams has had players doping in the last is zero.

It is almost certain there are dopers in the AFL, there are dopers in the A-league, there are dopers in the Big Bash, there are dopers in NRL, there are dopers in the NBL, WNBL, the netball.

This.

If those bolded sides are using performance enhancing drugs then fark me :lol:

He doesnt run the country. His party runs the country.

Kindam

So they can do what they like then. :)

We have an LNP government now so who says they will abandon the AFL.

Iirc they aint signed up to wada. But they have their own drugs codes. Same as baseball.

How do the NFL and NBA get around WADA?

All american sports dont follow wada . But they do have their drugs code. Asada if it wasnt so useless needs to be beefed up as letting essendon off shows how incompetent they are.

The AFL should not get government funding.

The AFL would lose a lot of government funding

AFLPA supports drug cheats
WADA and CAS convict drug cheats.
Of course they are not happy to be part of the WADA code, their members might be subject to JUSTICE.

Now Jobe Watson needs to be stripped of the Brownlow Medal he cheated to win.

and its gets better
now the ALFPA senior Paul Marsh, is considering the prospect of the AFL not being part of WADA/ASADA code

what are the implications if they do ? this is showing how amateur they are in some regards

LOL

Protecting their brand rather than integrity is how Lance Armstrong got away with his cheating and it is how many more cheats get away with it.
Messi, Ronaldo and the likes are just to big to fall unless something goes seriously wrong. They are probably all on something.
