If RA does go bankrupt it may open an opportunity for a less thuggish amusement to replace it !

I remember being told, many years ago, that soccer was a gentleman's game, played by thugs, & union was a thugs game, played by gentlemen.

certainly when I played rugby it had nothing to do with identity politics which has putrified everything thanks to the regressives.

Rugby is an eastern states disease. Most of the country's problems occur in the eastern states.

Football is a great indicator to gauge the mentality of the populace !

A large chunk of political correctness issues are poorly thought out and are destined for the scrap-heap.
I heard someone comment today that women are now sick of all the soft men they've created and these men have now gone out of fashion again. Apparently women now want tougher men that will tell them what to do again. - So as I predicted a few years back third and fourth wave feminism have burnt out as the previous ones before them did.

AC- You've made my day. But women can be pretty tricky- so I wouldn't be lining up to trust them yet. And the laws need to be changed so that men aren't so badly disadvantaged. Some say there should be a government agency that protects men's rights.

PC culture is so dumb, look at this:
Adele called out for 'cultural appropriation' as she wears bantu knots in new Instagram photo http://tinyurl.com/y2ul6urk Now This: http://www.latest-hairstyles.com/black/types-of-weave.html "Black women have many different textures of hair; luckily there’s a variety of different textures and types of weave that can suit just about any texture. The most sought after types of weave are Brazilian, Peruvian, Indian, Malaysian and Eurasian hair." So get this a white person is not allowed to wear the hair style of a black person (the article stated 'Jamaican') - But black people wear everyone else's actual hair except their own. But hey, who am I to point these things... Posted by Armchair Critic, Monday, 28 September 2020 6:57:15 PM

AC I'm torn by your comments. Existentialists (Subjectivists also maybe Traditionalists) believe in being genuine. So I sympathize with the concept of cultural appropriation. But there is a difference between adopting elements of a culture for their merit and pretending that you are of a culture.

Should I know who the hell Adele is?

The worst thing in the concept of "cultural appropriation" is that most of the time, the people from the "appropriated" culture will be flattered that someone from all across the world likes their cultural heritage enough to, for example, buy a kimono or a full set of tajine dishes. The only insulting part is when rich, white people use it to make them look like they care so muuuuch about cultures from less rich countries while it's just a trick to make them look more "woke" to their rich, white fan base.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adele
Adele Laurie Blue Adkins MBE (/əˈdɛl/; born 5 May 1988), is an English singer-songwriter. After graduating from the BRIT School in 2006, Adele signed a recording contract with XL Recordings. In 2007, she received the Brit Awards Critics' Choice Award and won the BBC Sound of 2008 poll. Her debut album, 19, was released in 2008. It is certified 8× platinum in the UK and triple platinum in the US. The album contains her first song, "Hometown Glory", written when she was 16, which is based on her home suburb of West Norwood in London. An appearance she made on Saturday Night Live in late 2008 boosted her career in the US. At the 2009 Grammy Awards, Adele won the awards for Best New Artist and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.

First Raelene Castle claims that she needed to fire Folau because Qantas might withdraw its sponsorship. Then Folau sues RA and RA not only spends a fortune defending itself but has to pay out Folau's 4-year contract while Folau goes on to earn a second salary doing what he loves and Ralene gets fired.
Now Qantas has withdrawn its sponsorship and RA is looking going bankrupt while the players that remained silent are on roughly half wages.
