Victorians are today astounded at the behaviour of the uppity blacks north of the Barassi Line, who are free to flaunt their culture and their concerns willy-nilly.
Glenn Huntley (34) a Melbourne-based logistics manager for a legally grey asbestos removal company in Coburg, says he thought this reconciliation shit was put to bed when he and the rest of the AFL booed Adam Goodes into retirement a couple years back.
“What the fucks going on up North?” asks Glenn, while watching Channel 7 Melbourne’s brief coverage of the State Of Origin national anthem boycott.
“You are just gonna let them stand there with their mouths closed??”
“We don’t stand for that shit in Victoria. Goodes and Eddie learnt the hard way”
Glenn says while he’s not surprised by Aboriginal footballers behaving in an ‘ungrateful’ way, the one thing that really shocked him was their white teammates supporting them.
This follows Maroons skipper Daly Cherry Evans throwing his support behind the likes of teammate Will Chambers and NSW’s Cody Walker and Josh Addo-Carr, who have declared they will refuse to sing Advance Australia Fair ahead of Wednesday’s Origin opener.
The trio have taken the stance after claiming the anthem doesn’t represent Indigenous Australians.
“Who am I to say what Will Chambers can or can’t feel?” said DCE, after journalists hounded him for a spicy sound bite.
It’s a position that the NRL, their coaches and teammates appear to be fine with, which is infuriating for Australian sports reporters who have been working non-stop for quotes that could be presented as divisive.
However, back in Victoria, Glenn says he is astounded at the entitlement of Aboriginal sports stars using their platform to do good in the world.
“I thought Queensland would agree with people like me and Eddie McGuire?!” syas Glenn.
“Why the fuck isn’t anyone disciplining these guys!?”
“All Adam Goodes did was a tribal dance and we made sure he never played again… The NRL is doing a Welcome To Country before every match!?”
