Matt Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 Hope this doesn't come across the wrong way, but I would've thought someone with an African background would've been a champion of equality. Kinda confused by it to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hafnia Posted May 18, 2022 Report Share Posted May 18, 2022 If he is against homosexuality as part of his beliefs then it his right to not want to wear an icon supporting lgbtq. but it is also the rights of everyone else to think he’s a bigoted nob head and boo him, and I’m sure if he and his team mates are targeted with racist abuse then he needs to accept that he is the victim of the same bigoted mindset that he is supporting. If someone gave me the choice to be heterosexual or gay - I would choose to be heterosexual. If someone gave me the choice to be white or black, I would choose to be white. Why??? Cos life is easier when you don’t have to deal with bigots. Is he stupid enough to think that sexuality is a choice? what a nob.

Popular Post Romey 1878 Posted May 18, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 18, 2022 Shouldn't he have had a problem with wearing our shirts when we were sponsored by a betting company?

Hafnia Posted July 27, 2022 Report Share Posted July 27, 2022 Gana Gueye automatically turns us from a team that gets overrun in midfield to being able to turn over the ball and get the likes of Gordon running at the opposition.

Romey 1878 Posted July 27, 2022 Report Share Posted July 27, 2022 I loved him while he was here but I don't like players having second spells. They rarely work out well.

I just think it unlikely he’s gonna be able to do that over a long season at his age. Though now that I think of it the prospect of him and Allan switching off and getting to rest a good bit has some appeal. As always, would depend on price chicagoblue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted July 28, 2022 Report Share Posted July 28, 2022 11 minutes ago, RPG said: I saw an interesting viewpoint on the ‘Rainbow’ issue recently from one of the guys in Australia who also refused to wear the shirt. In essence, what he said was this: “My personal beliefs do not allow me to condone this type of behaviour but I was happy to keep my personal beliefs to myself until now. I feel that being told to support any issue by my employer violates my right to my own opinion (which, in this case was publicly neutral) but, whilst I have refrained from publicly criticizing this behaviour in the past, my beliefs will not allow me to actively support it now. The club has put me and others in a very difficult position by making assumptions on our behalf that they had no right to and it is the club that I have an issue with, not the LGBT community.” Quite an articulate and well reasoned response I think. I don't think wearing the shirt suggests you "actively support" anything, other than equality. StevO and Romey 1878 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think your talking about the issue in the NRL this week. There were 7 players who were stood down by the club as they refused to wear the rainbow shirt as it conflicted with their personal/religious beliefs. Caused a stink in Australia with opinions massively divided on the rights of the players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted July 28, 2022 Report Share Posted July 28, 2022 4 minutes ago, RPG said: Yes, that’s it. Before anyone lights the blue touch paper, my understanding is that the players have no issue with the LGBT community as such. They were quite happy to continue following Bill Clinton’s ‘Don’t ask, Don’t tell’ advice but this forced them into a corner and their issue is with their club that did this and not with the LGBT community in any way. They obviously do have an issue with LGBTQ don’t they? They just didn’t want to make it public. I loved Gana as a player, and as a player I would want him in our team, but I believe everyone is equal regardless of religion, race, colour, sexuality, and anything else I can think of. I’m not sure I’d be happy having a player in the team doesn’t believe in equality. Formby, Sibdane, chicagoblue and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
