Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[stryker 69]

Just a quick one out of place but might get an answer... why did the sixers just take a knee?

black lives matter,its a form of protest against the establishment v the poor

Why are we bringing in this crap from the US here?

Hate this political statements growing like a cancer in sport, same as the moslem girl who refused to wear a gay pride shirt and stepped down from an upcomming game in the womens afl. I turn off the sport straight away .Glad the sixers lost if they are still carrying on with this garbage

It’s like a 10 second thing. If that’s your biggest issue in life, you are going alright.

Did he say it was the biggest issue in his life? It's American trash.

I am sure that the decision of re-signing of Roberts considered mentoring and such.

I really hope not. He is a shocking role model.

Disagree. BJ was a poor role model. I have no idea how roberts is around training or what he is like personally: it is pure speculation. But he has been given another opportunity and if he can somehow manage to turn up and have a crack, amidst all his personal issues, then that is to me a good role model.

…but he hasn’t.

Hasnt what? I know he hasn’t had success on the field for us. But he could be training the house down, sticking to his club obligations to the best of his ability.

How does that make him more of a mentor/role model than others?

You’ve moved the goalposts. You originally said “shocking” role model now your saying more than others?.

Alot of us take for granted how normal it is to wake up, have breakfast, turn up to work EVERY day. Many young footy players find themselves thrown into the high performance environment and are prone to problems in mental health, financial, gambling, substance abuse .
He keeps turning up and the club appears to have rewarded that.

I think it’s long odds he’ll be a success on the field but I’m optimistic. He’s probably still in top 5 quickest?

Edit; at tigers

Nah I haven’t moved them. He is a shocking example of a man with huge talent, but no common sense, no discipline who screwed his own career up at 4 clubs before being thrown a Hail Mary lifeline at our club. Did he pin his ears back and repay that faith? No. Should he have received a contract this year? No.
If he is a role model, it is of what not to do.

I do appreciate the replies. I don’t think we’ll agree on this. Just different approaches to life’s problems. Following tigers is one of mine.

Not an Australian issue?

One in a nation where we jail 10 year old kids and the latest Australian bureau of statistics figures show that 30% of our prison population is indigenous (nearly 9 times the average) and the rate of deaths in custody is worse.

Anyway, let's get back on topic as Mick Fuller's mate only likes (literally as well) posts from the right or even further thereon and I fear this might upset him further.

Our club is involved in indigenous programs for many valid reasons, including ways to help reduce death and harm in the community whilst drawing attention to such issues, so I suggest that it is hypocritical whine about other sporting organisations. I am sure that the decision of re-signing of Roberts considered mentoring and such.

I’m Not saying youre not right about this , you are , but those statistics are directly proportional to the percentage indigenous men take up of the total people incarcerated . The real issue is black , white , pink, purple , is how do we get lower socioeconomic men to stop the generational cycles of abuse , drugs , and anti social behaviour.
Of this the indigenous take up a much higher percentage , because they’ve never felt apart of society .
It’s really 2 battlefields .
1. Stopping the inter generational cycles of abuse (which is the one no one wants to touch , because it means admitting some harsh truths about our selves and our culture , no matter your colour or creed )
2. Easing the perception of society around this . Which day what you will , definitely is true . Jokes , passing comments , subliminal thoughts . It happens .

What we don’t want is to be like the USA , where the issues will never be fixed because no one is intellectually honest about the real issues , on both sides , so they cling to virtue signalling, and PC garbage . That is the real killer to any paths forward .
Like you said , we have progressed plenty over the years , but the pc circle jerk will stop us all changing the way we think about it . But to be honest we probably won’t change . But if we teach our kids how to be inclusive , even if for some of you , you don’t agree , then hopefully the next couple of generations will do better . That’s if we arnt all under water by then , and swimming around with Kevin Costner .

It’s a shame you carry this perception though, not difficult to tell from the subconscious pessimism in your response… not trying to preach to the converted but the fact you even compared US and the issues we face in society regarding socioeconomic status shows a clear lack of awareness around the difference. Only telling you because I’ve been fairly well versed in the above subject matter - Let’s firmly believe in the younger generations to carry the torch forward like you’ve stated without any of the previous bias’ and baggage often imparted on them by their elder/s. ^

You’ve gone off completely half [censored]ed, sound like an old fart when my post never disagrees with that. We’ve always been fairly conservative!

And "Politically Correct", virtue signalling are only recent concepts here, hardly relevant to us. Fool

Showing your true colours reverting to name calling, please go and find a BLM protest to engage in

LOL. Show us what you really think, whilst still trying to ignore what such important issue’s raised above actually implicate, and then ignore the fact that your smart-arse, rhetorical response is way off…

Not the sharpest tool in the shed, are ya?!

 

[TieDye]

Sometimes you just pray for a downvote…

 

[Demps]

#Bring back the downvote.

Worth protesting for.
👎😡🔥

 

[hugh1954]

Where do you think James Segeyaro Is going I just hope it’s not the tigers, don’t get me wrong he is a good player but off field his an idiot drink driving and testing positive to drugs i also don’t like the fact we got rid of Hoffman about the same time he announced a new contract.
