    "Who do the white men think will win?"

    "Young Erin", as you call her, didn't hear anything of the sort in 2012 because she wasn't seated near anybody saying such things. You know how I know? Because I was sitting with her that time too! The vagaries of the GF seating system had us a good 10-15 rows further forward, out of earshot of...

    "Who do the white men think will win?"

    And to me it sounds like a conspiracy theory. I dunno why either. I remarked to Desredandwhite (who has posted elsewhere in this thread, and was also sitting with us) that I found it strange that he was getting 4G reception at times on Telstra when I wasn't, and I was sitting 30cm from him...

    "Who do the white men think will win?"

    So you are suggesting that I came on to Bigfooty, something I do at best infrequently, so that I could pretend to know Erin and corroborate her article?

    "Who do the white men think will win?"

    A guy who has been here long enough that I'm not in the habit of making shit up to win stupid arguments with keyboard warriors on Bigfooty. Erin was at the ground because she was sitting two seats away from me.

    "Who do the white men think will win?"

    I'm suggesting that Erin could have been more precise with her language, though being on Twitter I'm not overly surprised that she wasn't. By all means talk about non-structural racism against whites. I'm happy to acknowledge that it probably exists, though the fact that I have to use the word...

    Are you calling me a liar?

    "Who do the white men think will win?"

    Err, no. This is a logical fallacy. I'm not saying that casual bigotry is not a problem. Indeed, it *is* a problem and even more so when it mutually reinforces structural racism. The "take it up the ass" chant is offensive because it uses a homosexual sex act to demean a (at least ostensibly)...

    "Who do the white men think will win?"

    Actually, I did try to do one thing. When the flogs were continuing to sing through their own captain's acceptance speech I turned and shouted at them to at least show him the respect of listening, as I was trying to do. In return I copped abuse and threats. And I repeat, attacking the...

    "Who do the white men think will win?"

    I'm sorry, I'm not trying to call you a misogynist or a racist. It's clear that your objections to the article are at least beyond the knuckle-dragging we see on much of this thread. I have been quoting you but addressing a wider class of posts in my responses and I apologise if that was...

    "Who do the white men think will win?"

    No, I didn't. There were Victoria Police, security guards and MCC attendants whose job it was to police the crowd. I was watching a game of football.

    "Who do the white men think will win?"

    Go searching through all 10,000 of my posts here on BF and you'll find some stupid comments I've said at times too. I'd be astonished if you didn't, since I started posting here when I was 15 years old. I would say this, though. For all that Erin might enjoy seeing shirtless footballers, they...

    "Who do the white men think will win?"

    Again, I'm a bit too sickened by this thread to want to engage fully. But in a sport that is famous for the on-field brilliance of its Indigenous players do you not find it curious that none of them have ever broken into the media bubble that surrounds it? Maybe I'm forgetting somebody (perhaps...

    "Who do the white men think will win?"

    I'm not really here to engage with whether it's a good article. I happen to disagree but it's not really the point. I've been on Bigfooty longer than Erin has been following the sport, so I'm not exactly a blow-in and if I say something I mean it. I'm only here to tell you all that no amount of...

    "Who do the white men think will win?"

    I will do no such thing. If you want to intimidate and vilify somebody you can do it yourself. Just have Erin's courage and do it under your own name, you gutless wonder.

    "Who do the white men think will win?"

    I was sitting with Erin at the game. If anything, she's understated the experience. I got to page two of this thread. It's pretty much exactly as I expected, and is probably the last Bigfooty thread I shall ever read.
