I guess this is AFL related so here goes...
On the other side of the woke debate there is the guy who wants to ban the Carlton club song because back in 1890 it originally had racist lyrics. The original lyrics were pretty racist but they were changed in the 1930's when Bing Crosby recorded it and the Carlton lyrics are entirely different from those of Crosby. The only thing unchanged is the melody which most people would associate with Crosby's version of Lilly of Laguana. Of course very few people would know about the song's racist origins if this Hagan guy had not made the issue public. Stephen Hagan is the same guy who lead the charge to against Coon Cheese.

Calls for Carlton to change ‘racist’ team song
The same man who successfully had Coon cheese renamed has the AFL club in his sights.

Hawthorn can’t afford to bottom out and do a full rebuild because their non-bandwagon supporter base that was actually there for them pre-2008 is a similar size to North’s fanbase.

Correct, and now they only need to be mid-table at the very least to keep some of the bandwagoners interested.

I’ve seen an explanation for this, but I don’t think it involved season ticket no shows.

Kind of a Jagger-Tarzan
People would’ve been saying that after their last dynasty though... and they were close to folding in less than five years.
The Hawthorn supporter base is a weird one there's a theatre going element when they are up & only a modest rusted on true fan base underneath when they are struggling.. I'm not even sure the theatre goers are actually Hawthorn fans tbh.

Freo are in the phase of their development where they play like heroes at home and total mugs on the road and the contrast from week to week is quite mind boggling to watch. The WA clubs have a real penchant for being like this when they are in the early stages of being a decent team. They'll win their 10 games this year but only 1 or 2 will be on the road.

Yup, but as they repeated it they can just say ‘it’s coming’.

So we got the biggest crowd in the league and will probably still lose money out of it.
Cool.
Next week being one of those two hopefully, on paper they should trouble the Crows they have the run.

A lot of Carlton fans have retired to the Gold Coast.
