You’re literally saying the exact opposite to what he’s saying … how did you join those dots in your head ?
The issue isn’t competence . The issue is “best interest of wests tigers “ and how can anyone and I mean anyone , whether you’re 55 or 40 or 90 or 70 , say they are doing what’s best for wests tigers if their allegiance is to one of the foundation clubs . Anyone who’s heard Dennis speak for example everything is wests or magpies .. it’s written all over his head where his allegiance is.
That is the issue . And the older you are , when you’re talking percentages of life the more likely your core allegiance is not to wests tigers . If you’re 75 and you’ve been following the same team since you were 5 , that means 2 thirds of your life you’ve been a magpies fan . So understandably that’s where your heart lies .
If you’re 40 , that means 55–60% of your life you’ve been a wests tigers fan. If you’re 50 it’s half your life .
Thats what the issue is. And if you want to claim agism as a thing , it’s not because you’re old . It’s because your age means your loyalty is elsewhere.
There’s millions of studies that dictate how and where and why and length of time it takes to form an allegiance .
We need people who are loyal to wests tigers and only wests tigers .
