It is a marketing ploy, the AFL are a pack of cheap w******s. Doesn't mean aborigines haven't played a great part in our game.
Slagging off "Indigenous Round" for that reason is like slapping your mum because Mothers Day is a capitalist rort.
The worst thing about the soft left version of events is its usually crap history, and it lets in poisonous worms like Windschuttle to score easy points.
No proof for Aborigines influence in the original rules. To deny that is to let in the rednecks for a free shot.
Only a mean spirited dog would deny the part of aborigines in footy history. State the obvious, there's a clear affinity between Aussie rules and the aboriginal games. The rest is speculation.
