Matildas The Matildas Thread

[Dixie Flatline]

Kerr's father publicly said before news emerged of her imminent trial that Kerr wouldn't be fit to play at the Olympics, but Gustavsson hasn't been so definitive just yet.

Has the turning circle of an ocean liner and so slow, it was really noticeable when the ball came near her.

I think she has to be treated as a tall. If which case she has excellent touch.

Allegedly called a policeman a stupid white bast…

Is that racist?

Discuss …

Technically yes. If you flip it the other way…

But I dare say most white people don’t really care if they get called it. I have a feeling it’s just an opportunity to seize and highlight the double standards.

Dunno about racist, just seems a weird thing to add white in there when you can just call him a stupid bastard.

Especially when she's 3/4 white herself.

Any one would think Kerr has shot someone . Am I misreading this or it it verbal abuse ( racist ) ?

'Hate speech' laws are farcical, just as this case is

Good example of why they are stupid imo

Thanks for your input, Champ

I mean it’s pretty obvious that racist comments are racist, no?

You’d have to be racist yourself to think otherwise.

Are you saying that a white person who doesn’t find Sam Kerr’s comment racist must be a racist?

Only if you think there is a difference between “stupid white bastard” and “stupid black bastard”.

If you think both are fine I’d say you’re wrong.

Regardless we have been told racism is through the eyes of the victim. And the victim was obviously of the opinion they were racially vilified.

Should be a simple apology and the matter resolved. I mean that’s just human decency isn’t it.

No punishment required.

It's interesting to me see deadshits out themselves as having no cultural or social awareness.

Racism isn't about the words spoken, it's about disadvantage. It requires no mental gymnastics at all, just a base level understanding of racism, its causes, and its impacts.

The human rights commission has a different definition.

Race Discrimination

Learn about racism, its impact, and how to combat it. Take action to build communities where people of all cultures and backgrounds feel safe, respected and included.

It seems markedly different from yours.

You can't possibly be this obtuse.

Me and the human rights commission?

And people that can think for themselves.

To argue racism has nothing to do with what you say ………….

Sheesh…………

The Matildas have announced two friendlies against China to be played on 31 May and 3 June. The first game will be played at Adelaide Oval and the second will be played at Accor Stadium in Sydney.

Box Office and Olympic Bound CommBank Matildas return to Adelaide and Sydney

Football Australia today announced that the CommBank Matildas will host reigning AFC Women’s Asian Cup™ champions and FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023™ participants, China PR, in a two match “’Til It’s Done Farewell” international series to be played in Adelaide and Sydney during the May/June FIFA...

I think a bit racist, not as bad as Harbijan Singh or the roosters nrl player.
I was massively annoyed by Craig Foster's comments. Plenty of white people receive racism, most racism is in the 2nd and 3rd worlds, not the first world ( not excusing that which does exist there).
Also there are unfortunately some examples of within White people racism, see the two prominent wars on at the moment.

‘I apologise to Sam’: Craig Foster’s 180-degree turn on Kerr saga

Craig Foster had urged Football Australia to strip Sam Kerr of the Matildas’ captaincy if the charges were proven, to make a strong stand against racism. But he has had a change of heart.

She shouldn't be captain anyway.

 

[damicky]

She shouldn't be captain anyway.

Why not?

 

[Munga]

She shouldn't be captain anyway.

Agree. Catley the much better leader.

USA, Germany and an African team TBC in the Olympics. Oof.

USA, Germany and an African team TBC in the Olympics. Oof.

USA and Germany aren't near the best at the moment, but both will go in fav against us surely. Given the hype around the Matildas I feel like there is an expectation of a medal. But realistically we are probably the 7th best team of the 12 which is where we are seeded.
