Game Day QF1: Throw Crows VS Co17ingwood

[Elmer_Hauser]

well played lollingwood, comfortably slaughtered the homophobes

Lets be honest, if the situation was reversed, every other club supporters would do the same (booing a player who made a complaint about homophobia)

Melbourne Victory and Western Sydney fans have infamously and shamefully homophobically slurred from Adelaide United player Josh Cavallo, the first openly gay men's professional soccer player in our Country.

It's going to take many more years/decades before homophobia is stamped out completely (almost as much as racism is) at pro men's sport level.

Hollywood and the TV media are largely responsible as well for making movies like The Hangover Trilogy and Wolf Creek etc infamous for homophobic slurs and jokes.

The younger generation gets it (say 25 and younger) but as I say, older generations (like mine) have been raised and taught via movies (in my case far more than religion, in all the years of going to Mosque and hearing lectures from an Imam, i only had one sermon about homosexuality, and even then he was pretty gentle about it, definitely didn't say or preach homosexuals should be killed or physically punished for their beliefs)

High school and especially sports as a kid/teen and young man was full of homophobic slurs as well as movies and TV shows i have enjoyed over the years.

Yes I used to be homophobic and transphobic, I am sorry and yes ashamed of previous behaviour, but I have evolved and half way matured.

I cannot change the past but can do something about my current and future attitude (granted I think i was misguided about Rankine and his punishment too severe, last night's booing of Quaynor only justified it)

Sadly I think its going to be a very long and painful effort to try re-educate other homophobes (and i think Religon is a major cop out excuse)

I think this also boils down to the perception of Masculinity and what its like to be a 'man'
and why i think the campaign to try stamp out extreme form of toxic Masculinity (such as that campaigner Andrew Tate) is the right now.

It's never too late too change/be a better and more considerate and open minded and tolerant human being. (And yes I am aware I can still be an utter pill/tosser at times)

Yet another prelim.

Don't they make a lot of slurs and jokes about heterosexuality as well? In fact a lot more. And to fail to also make jokes about homosexuality may mean Hollywood and TV media are excluding homosexuals on grounds of their sexuality? Think about that Elmer.

Come to think of it, I hate the way heterosexual men are portrayed as beer swilling, insensitive, anniversary forgetting, selfish, lying, cheating, wife ignoring people, when in reality only a select few of us are like that. The elite.

 

[Chronz]

Always thought you had potential Chro, but you know you have made the grade when you start getting compared to one of the greats.

Nick Daicos highest player rating for the pies, 2nd overall to Thilthorpe.

Come to think of it, I hate the way heterosexual men are betrayed as beer swilling, insensitive, anniversary forgetting, selfish, lying, cheating, wife ignoring people, when in reality only a select few of us are like that. The elite.

Elmo just supports what the algorithms tell him too.

A rating of roughly half of Dusty's best handful of finals however Chro. Says he has a ways to go.

What were his best ratings? He most certainly would have been 26+ at a minimum too , he certainly wasn't doing it at 22.

Dusty had finals where he rated:

26.3, 30.9, 26.4, 33, 27.3, 32.1.

The last 3 were in succession in one finals series. You will have to see about 20 Haley's Comets before you ever see another player get 90 ratings points in 3 successive finals Chro. The highest 3 successive final rating combined bar Dusty would likely be around 60 tops. Dusty himself got a combined 72.2 in the 3 x 2017 finals of course.

But Daicos will obviously beat that easily, because loads of Collingwood supporters have informed me Dusty wasn't actually that good in finals. Pendlebury levels according to Fadge.

status quo has moved. i'll happily admit i'm a woke zoomer but i just don't understand how hate like that (especially the kind that adelaide flogs were spewing at someone who WAS abused by their own player) has any place in our game or society. it disappoints me a great deal that we're still having to have the conversation about shit blokes being shit blokes and discriminating

Unfortunately as a Lebanese Muslim (admittedly non practising) I have become accustomed/immune to everyday bigotry/ignorance and discrimination.

People are just awful (well not all but you get my drift) but especially those from my age bracket and slightly below and above (45) who have been raised in our culture/society and media that being gay (and indeed being different from what and who a stereotypical male) should be the subject of scorn and derision.

As I say, it's going to take decades globally (not just in our Country) for rampant Homophobia and hurtful gay slurs to be stamped out..

It happens worldwide

Activists call on Mexican soccer fans to end homophobic chant ahead of 2026 World Cup

Frustrated that Mexico’s soccer federation has failed to stop a homophobic chant heard during national team matches, LGBTQ+ activists are appealing directly to local fans to end the offensive habit before next summer’s World Cup.

apnews.com

Today's current LGBT community need to keep fighting, i don't think things will get much easier in their lifetime, but their crusade will definitely help future generations of queer/gay/bi/trans people down the track.

I would be willing to bet there are gay/bisexual regular posters on the Bay, too afraid to come out cause of moronic insults and trolling by the ignorant brigade

It's all ignorance, which breeds fear, which breeds hatred.
