What it meant is that the players are a cowardly lot. Not a single one of them remained upright, too frightened to offend anyone. They should go to America and play gridiron if they are going to be that pathetic. It would be interesting to know what the spectators thought of the silly, wet girls. I don't remember ever having used the hackneyed expression, 'UnAustralian', but I will in this case. BLM is a con, no matter where it is hauled out, and it certainly has no application in our country.

The hypocrisy of the Australian Left is appalling. Damning America on the one hand, but slavishly copying all of its meaningless silliness on the other.

virtue signalling has become a sign of hypocrisy and cowardice these days. Bowing one's knee does more harm than good to black communities, It just stops them from having to look at facts instead of false narrative. Black coloured people are far more likely to be murdered, receive child abuse, raped and suffer domestic violence than whites. The obvious factor than the lying media leave out is that it almost always blacks committing the offenses. In the US far more whites are murdered by blacks than vice versa.

I'd have thought our Govt & Opposition would legislate against such intimidation compliance. It's undermining our values & rights !
If people want to help other people then they should go & live with them & help them get on the right track. Undermining yourself & your fellow citizens to give the one who wants to see your demise is about as stupid as stupid can be !
Is that the result of our billions thrown at Education ? Sack the bloody lot & start anew !

No individual, but it is the result of the radical feminist take over of the education system.

I think the author doth protest too much.

In previous articles he had written;

“Standing on the wing at Kardinia Park, Dad was primed to yell encouragement for the Geelong Hoops. However, when the Carlton team ran out with a little number “5” whose skin was much darker than Dad’s, he knew he had found a team of fairness and equity. First year player, Syd Jackson, didn’t kick any goals but Jezza kicked five, and from that day our blood bled Navy Blue.”

And;

“Goodes is correct to say that education is the key.”

The symbolism of the players taking a knee in support of not only the movement in the US but also the focus on the plight of indigenous Australians is both powerful and motivating a wider conversation.

I have spoken to quite a few people who were perplexed by it and taken the opportunity to tell of the insanely high incarceration rates of indigenous people in the NT and WA.

It was both potent and welcomed.

Frankly, I found it embarrassing.
It is an admission of sin and asking for forgiveness.
I was surprised the crowd didn't boo.
Perhaps the mics were turned off, just in case.
