I'm glad they the bombers decided they needed to show their love for the great team that is the Fremantle Dockers.

Seriously though, why would they choose a colour which is instantly identifiable as belonging to a rival team? And why do we need a gay pride round? Is it recognise the multitude of GLBT players that have played the game over the years???

LGBTI... where's the Q?
(Q is for self-identified "Queers" and also for "Questioning" people).

If you're going to get on a bandwagon... get on the right name.

It's shit bait, so if you bite you deserve it.

What I don't understand is why clubs need LGBT supporter groups?
Exactly. Why not have a brown-haired supporters group, or a Ford driving supporters group? It does no harm and I'm not against it, but I can't see the point.

Exactly, if there was racism or homophobia in any club sponsored supporters group it would be stamped out.
