No Cheese Sandwich option. Not a valid poll.

Symbolic movement. Nice show of support. Be surprised if every team doesn’t do it this round.

Good to see only a quarter of us support institutionalised racism.

Honestly thought it would be more.

I would love to hear the reason someone would have a problem with it

Depends what you define as a problem?

I hope the RFC did some research into BLM (the political organisation rather than the bumper slogan).

Even the simplest (10 sec) research raises concerns.

Go to the BLM Homepage:


Click to donate:


Then investigate who actblue are:


Then ask yourself how BLM donations are being used.

I wonder how many of our beloved Tigers understand they are (in part) bending knee to raise money for the US Democrat Party?

Just a question.

Just a question.

Is it support for that organisation or just a general gesture? I'm tipping the latter.

Obviously totally entitled to your own opinion, but in my opinion I think it wouldnt be meaningless for our boys and particurly the indigenous fellas.

Voted yes, didn't haven't a problem with it, just like I didn't have a problem with Rudd (Smuck) saying sorry.

Yes, I can see your problem Sir, bringing justice, healing and freedom to black people across the globe, clearly only a Marxist could support such reprehensible beliefs.

Cultural Marxists? Geez the mad right are unimaginative, just label everyone a cultural Marxist, that'll convince people. Maybe I should label your lot fascists, would be just as logical. Pathetic really.

A gesture that is uniquely American. Meaningless in our culture. Looked like the kind of thing your Grade 3 teacher would make the whole class do. Awkward, cringy, irrelevant.

Keep politics out of sport, virtue signalling is pathetic, BLM are cultural marxists that insist on defining people by race, etc.
Who are you to tell the players to keep politics out of sport?
Surely the players are free to make their own choices and customers will respond if they don't like it.

Wouldn't that depend on who owns the ground?

Taking the knee may have started in America but it's fast becoming a global statement.

I’m a YES.
no problem with the players saying NO to racism.

Do I think George Floyd was a flog?
absolutely!

do I feel embarrassed we are copying an American issue?
A little bit.

do I believe in equality?
absolutely!

Do I like the way the lefties perpetuate the victim complex?
NO.
I’m not a fan.

do I think someone should steal a car or take a course?

I’d say study a course.

do I think that the more crime you do, might lead to meeting police ?
yep.

do I think resisting police or corrections officers might be physically risky?
Gee that’s a hard one

Do I think some cops and corrections people are prejudiced arseholes?
YES.

do I think injesting drugs alcohol fuel and solvents might be dangerous?
Yes I do.

do I think Black Lives Matter?
yes.

do I think some black lives self sabotage with
crime, ‘drug’ use, and withdrawing from Education and Training.
YES.

do I think Aboriginal people were treated fairly or humanely by European settlers?
NO.

do I think an ATSI person could be a doctor or engineer, if they did the course?
YES.

Would I be called racist if I put this on a poster at an ATSI event?
You can bet on it.
