Confirmed ITK Drafting King
http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/tigers-commit-to-lead-on-gender-issues-20140830-10aevt.html
The club has already set itself a 10-year target of having a staff corps with a 50/50 gender split.
Using a groundbreaking, and in parts confronting, report from a three-year Australian Sports Commission and AFL-backed project as a guide, the Tigers believe they will reap considerable financial rewards through the affirmative action.
A strong theme of the paper is that women have suffered from a commonly held belief within the AFL that they should "fit in" to the culture, rather than have cultures adapted to be more inclusive.
2 Points Here-
- What a ******* load of garbage, Stop making a big deal out of having women in sport
Either they are suitable for the job and they should get it, or there are 500 blokes who are better and they should deal with it
Why do you NEED a 50/50 split, how about just the best available .. Stop bringing Gender into it
- Common Belief they should 'fit' into the culture rather than the culture adapting
Why should the majority change for the minority? Footy is footy .. You should fit into the footy culture because it is what it is
It was created 150 years ago and people love it because it is its own culture, stop trying to accommodate it so everyone can get involved
The amount of talk about the stopping of sexism, racism etc
Then we take every woman, black etc person and we make a big deal out of everything they do like they are 'different' to us and there achievements should be celebrated differently
Its just a different form of what they want to stop
BEFORE PEOPLE SOOK AND GET THIS WRONG
I HAVE NO ISSUE WITH WOMEN IN FOOTY, BUT STOP CALLING THEM WOMEN IN FOOTY AND CALL THEM THE ASSISTANT COACH OR THE PRESIDENT , NOT 'FEMALE' MEMBER
People who missed the point list
