Did not think we needed LM standing, looking out with an aboriginal flag draped over him.
This is a football ad, not a political statement - one day they will get it right.
Cam as a kid ....didn't need it.
It’s his flag representing his people. Bet you wouldn’t have an issue if Liddle was there draped in the Australian flag.
Wouldn't have a problem if it was an ad for the Indigenous game... but it's not.
Didn't notice Alex Twal with the Lebanese flag did you... or all the Polys with their flags?
No I didn’t, but I wouldn’t have minded if they did.
Don’t bother arguing with the boomers. They’re upset over a flag the poor things. Apparently people aren’t allowed to be proud of their culture.
I don't think it's a "boomer" thing. The fact it has people arguing about these issues shows that it's too political in the first place.
In fairness, I can't see the relevance of someones sexual preference or culture to the talent they have in the game. Can't we watch the spectacle rather than have politics shoved down our throat all the time...I just think people want a place they can go to get away from all the different opinions and just be brought together by something they have in common - the great game of Rugby League.
I'm not having a shot at you...it's an overall observation. I've just quoted your post for relevance.
It’s definitely a boomer thing. How is showing Latrell mitchell (an NRL player) holding an indigenous flag (a massive part of the NRL) or the two NRL PLAYERS kissing political at all. These were big moments from last years game and will be a big part of this years game, the NRL promoting the fact that EVERYONE can enjoy the game is far from a ‘political point’.
People shouldn’t be so upset over an advertisement. End of the day everything in it was relevant to the NRL. Funny how the generation that seem to think everyone else are sensitive and snowflakes can’t even handle a flag in an ad.
I guess we just never had it rammed down our throats at school, so we aren't as brainwashed by it all.
If you think kissing a woman on TV is a "big moment" in rugby league, then you should go and watch a few more games. Honestly, this would be at the bottom of the pile of great things in Rugby League.
It was a big moment last year and it pushes the fact that EVERYONE can play footy which is what we all want right?
Don’t think anyone’s brainwashed at all. Trust me I’m against forcing political correctness into everything just for the sake of it but everything in the ad was relevant to the NRL
Gay inclusiveness is a current political issue and is pushed by woke activists. It is very political that it's in there.
I don't know what her personal relationship has anything to do with the wider NRL.
The NRL does plenty for inclusiveness...this is an ad to showcase the game, not to show how liberal you are. Show me the sport, not everything else around it.
