Over on league unlimited they complain all the time over how much coverage AFL gets compared to their precious game.
Imagine if Hayne was an AFL player. You would never hear the end of the bitching.
I think it's a revolt against the copious amount of attention the MSM has afforded Hayne in this foray despite the rather unimpressive performances he has put up.
The RL media in Sydney is an interesting beast. They can't get enough of Jarryd Hayne at the moment but I remember Terry Kennedy tried to show Karmichael Hunt's first goal for the Suns on the NRL Sunday footy show and it was blocked by Mark Geyer as "promoting another code".
The NFL commentator aired this last night -
He has a point about the equivalent name for African Americans, but in general, how do you feel about what are essentially entertainment programs (sport broadcasts) being used as platforms to air political views such as this?
Yeah I get it. It does seem consistant why every player is embalzened with their flag on every helmet and every commentator with it on their lapel. It just seems quite insulting really to every sport that has legitimate International participation.
