The Jumper Thread

[DickDunn]

A bit like the alphabet identifiers you can make it up as you go along.


There is no AFLM so go ahead and just show total stupidity, a tip though…the girls still won’t sleep with you even though you want to virtue signal your progressiveness

You sound like a sad loser, mate. I know it’s a big scary world out there for people like you but change is coming whether you like it or not

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Themed rounds and jumpers would be the easiest thing in the world to ignore if they weren't really your thing.

And maybe if they have positive impacts on others, it's not something worth bemoaning.

 

[uptheWC]

Can you? It's a bigger build up than it deserves, bud.

I can, do you want or need me to though?

 

[Goroyals22]

I'll call it AFLM because it's the mens competition facilitated by the AFL.

It's not a hard concept to grasp, but I can appreciate that it's different for those that are as dumb as dogshit.

And give the "tHeYrE nOt GoInG tO SleEp wItH yOu" schtick a rest. It's pathetic and it reveals far more about your motivations than you realise.

Show us where the afl competition is referred to as the aflm competition… it’s certainly not on the official afl app or website at all… probably the abc would be your best bet..

On a scale of 1 to Charlie Kirk, how upset are you going to be when the league inevitably rebrands to AFLM?

Would that mean that a woman would never be allowed to play in the AFL if she was good enough?

That's not a troll question. I view the AFL as an 'open' comp.

Actually, I believe they don't let Ella play in the men's comp for the sake of the men.

 

[Mr Q]

Perhaps, but it must be said that due to the inherent nature of the sport and the blokes who play it the percentage of lgbt players would comfortably be much lower than the general male population.

I'd be most interested to know what the "inherent nature of the sport" is that has anything to do with the sexual orientation of the players.

I would be 100% sure there are gay men playing in the AFL. In fact, I'd be almost certain there's more than one at every club. The sheer numbers of players tell you that gay players do not feel that they can come out, not that they don't exist.

Obviously you have some issues with the idea of there being gay AFL players. But as far as what they do, I'm watching them play football, where their sexual orientation is not actually a factor in whether they can play it, can play it well, and are capable of being top flight players.

The inherent nature of the sport is also the reason there has been a lack of acceptance of lgbt people within the game, the masculine nature of the physical contact that defines the game. Compare the culture at your average football club and your average theatre or acting community, for want of an example.

I have no issue with players of any sexuality within the afl, and I agree the sexuality of an individual player has no impact on their ability. But on average, physical and competitive afl players are going to be presumed as straight because they display typically masculine behaviours.

What about steel mills?

 

[Mr Q]

Wow with the stereotyping there, (not just of footballers).

You can't tell that someone's gay from looking at them or listening to them speak - unless they want you to. There will be plenty of gay men who are quite happy to be one of the boys playing sport.

Just as there are straight men who are into acting and theatre.

Maybe just dump the stereotypes in the bin on the way out, and you'll be both better for it, and have a massive weight off your shoulders that the gays are invading your life.

I’m quite progressive but AFLM is as cringe as people calling the whole sport AFL

 

[TheHumanShoe]

I love the jumper thread. It really shows you which of our posters are backwards people...

Hot stuff coming through!

You’re right, the stereotypes may not always prove true in each case, but they exist for a reason, which is that they’re more likely than not to apply.

And I’m not sure how you gathered that I have any problem with gay people from any of this, so it seems you’re just trying to manufacture it to round off your point for whatever reason.

In the end, my point that the percentage of lgbt afl players is lower than the overall percentage of lgbt men hasn’t been refuted.

Maybe I needed to post the pride gurnsey in insightful and incitefull.

 

[DorothyG]

I saw a cool design for the club's pride game.

Then I saw new messages in the Jumper Thread.

Why did I know before even opening the thread that it was going to be pages of posts reminiscing steaming piles turds and not design discussion about the jumper at all

Did you also correctly guess which poster would be saying what?

No point worrying about what will never happen
