Soccer victimhood will place this story within their mantra that the popular footballs are predominantly white bread outposts intent on keeping down the more cosmopolitan, more worldly soccer fiefdoms.
There are at least two problems with that perspective (amongst many):
1. It's not just about having an issue with foreign ownership, stacks of once Australian-made products have fallen into foreign ownership, it's that a lot of soccer ownership is by dubious people. And if it's not appalling human rights, it's the strong likelihood that money laundering and related nefarious activities are involved, which should never be countenanced.
2. It was the FFA themselves who implemented their very own anti-wog policy! So it's a bit rich to go blaming the white bread established, wealthy winter football codes and their followers!
