Yeah, it seemed to me like they were aiming for for more an indigenous audience instead of a wide ranging audience, which i suspect is one of the reasons their ratings weren't that good. They focused on the race of the players so often, always pointing out who was indigenous and how they were going (from my experience).
I'm not indigenous but i suspect that they are merely taking an oppurtunity to show some pride in their race and culture. I don't know if you saw the story on the 7.30 Report about twiggy forrest's land holder pay off and set up meeting (1 of many) but i know if i were them in this society, i would be doing the exact same thing. I would suggest to you to stay off the 'commercial' stations and become a little more informed and empowered to make your OWN observations about the world. Its easy to look at an indigenous man calling another indigenous man 'brother' and make the *@#!ing groundbreaking assumption the show is aimed at indigenous people, maybe it gives them a sense of belonging, deal with it. The show IS essentially about football which is why I think IMHO that a football purist would prefer to watch this than the garbage on channel 9. If they got Billy B and Crawf on, no one would watch the Footy Show.
Are you serious? You are one of those people who hear something about a minority then blindly start accussing everyone of racism. Yawn... you are part of the problem.
My second post was in reference to neroblacks post. But you can re-read them at your leisure if you like
Cool.. i was replying to the post where you quoted me then started dribbling about racism, because the topic was indigenous Australians therefor i was being racist, amirightsocialwarrior?
People? Propaganda swallowing philistines?? Daicos doesn't seem to mind it. Sorry, I'll leave you alone.
It was bloody amateurish.Really stupid decision. Great show just a bad time slot. I always ended up catching up with it on NITV or iView.
It was bloody amateurish.
And what is the purpose of an indigenous football show? Seems like tokenism. I always thought it was bizarre that they would show the team lists with the indigenous players' names in bold. What was that about? Oh, that's useful, now I know which games to watch if I only want to watch indigenous players. It was a contrived way to emphasise the show's 'indigenous focus', a fatuous gimmick that only reinforced the show's redundancy.
Sort of agree with this. Hansen is a reasonable host but McAdam isn't the answer as his sidekick. The continuity isn't great and because the panel regulars find it difficult to string a lucid sentence together the worth of the show is dependent on the quality of the guests.I gave it a go, as a viewer, but it was a POS show. Nothing of significant value, just a bunch of afl apologists. My favourite moment of this axing, was listening to Grant Hansen sook about it on SEN. He was saying the show should've been on ABC1! Clown.
There's also Footy Tragic (a DT show) on C31 & The Supercoach Show on Fox Footy.
Absolute shame - Leila Gurruwiwi the most refreshing talent on Australian tv!!

SBS will launch a new national free-to-air Indigenous Television service in late 2012.
It follows the Federal Government’s Budget decision to transfer annual funding from National Indigenous TV Limited to SBS to develop a new, national digital free-to-air channel dedicated to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander content...
...Having a dedicated channel for Indigenous television on a public broadcasting platform will be an exciting further step for Australia as it will be the first time that all Australians from remote communities to the metropolitan areas will have access to Indigenous programs free-to-air. It brings Australia to the forefront in worldwide steps to promote Indigenous broadcasting...
To be honest I really liked the show, they actually talked about football with the guests. BUT, I do agree the bolding of the indigenous players on the team lists was a bit much. It's almost backwards racism.
No such thing as 'backwards' racism. White fella belittles an indigenous fella because he's indigenous. Racism. Indigenous fella belittles a white fella because he's white. Racism. Calling incidents of racism 'backwards' or 'reverse' implies that this kind of racism is different somehow. It's not.
Racism is racism.
