What it meant for AFL players to ‘take a knee’ this weekend : Comments

By Michael Viljoen, published 16/6/2020

Protests are, by definition, risky. The aim of a protest is to draw attention to injustice. You’re wanting to challenge the status-quo, to upset the apple-cart.

these afl players are starting to look more like the Victorian Labour party who respect women so much that they call them ---. To think this generation has the self righteousness to think that somehow they are morally superior because they wear a rainbow badge.

Armchair, shouldn't it be driver's license ?
No expert myself, but the public service is populated by the left
leaning product of the current under educated teachers.

Guys, as usual, the govt response to so may things like this, is superfluous and only for the purpose of making themselves seem viable and garner support and popularity from the general population.
Removing someones ability to drive "legally" is in this particular context, an absolutely extreme waste of time and they know it, because if memory serves, they drive cars illegally as a rule, based on their personal beliefs and entitlements.
So again a waste of time, they will still drive, still steal cars and go for joy rides and whatever other related illegal and unsociable activities they engage in.
Seriously, if anyone thinks they are going to honour the courts ruling of community service, you are naive and delusional to think they will suddenly change their evil, or anti-social ways.
I'm really curious how they spin this obvious "get out of jail free" card, without it costing us even more again, through the loss of revenue.
I do have the answer; let all the do-gooders pay for their fines, then we can see just how caring and virtuous the do-gooders are.
So we then can kill two birds with one stone, the do-gooders can go around bragging how they helped the poor underprivileged, and the miscreants can continue their reign of terror and un-sociable behaviour, unabated.
