If I can stick up for Technical Coach on the pride issue. Pride is seen as a sin in Christian teaching. The old saying "Pride comes before a fall" reflects the view that people shouldn't boast. Pride has probably changed in definition a bit these days. Someone can be a proud Yorta Yorta man or...- Real Deal

The jersey aint going anywhere. I'll bet you they are regretting ever coming up with the idea. But Manly are stuck in a dilemma entirely of their own making. Did they consult? Did Des know? This just stinks of a PR hack's omnishambles.- Real Deal

You don't know, do you? If you equate not wearing a pride jersey with "how will they go parenting a gay child" and all the inferences that go with that then I am sorry. I know parents of gay kids who may disagree with their choices, still love and accept them.- Real Deal

2022. Why is it different to 2017 or 1984 or 1975? Some people's value don't change, believe it or not. Times change and we move with them - tempora mutantur (yes I looked that up!). But we keep lots of old values because we think they're right. The last 60 years have brought huge cultural...- Real Deal

That's a pretty good suggestion, Al. I hope management read that. I fear it wouldn't be enough for the media, they're already shrieking now, by tomorrow it will be deafening.- Real Deal

If that is true Isz, you need to get out more often. I used to write letters to the SMH and go through my letter box in the week following getting hate mail. Two posters here in my view have been clearly homophobic. Two or three others on the other side of the debate have been racist to...- Real Deal

Their faith may not have a problem with alcohol. There are lots of faith groups who dont. Some even accept gambling. The local Cathos had a bingo morning for years. But faith groups have different views on hot button issues. It's far too easy to write them of as hypocrites, then we dont have to...- Real Deal

Not one of your best ones, Volley. Are you stereotyping a racial group with ad hominem arguments?- Real Deal

The colours change. They now include grey and pink. To include non-binary and pan sexual etc. If you say the colours mean everyone iis entitled as you say to their sexuality without harassment and discrimination then I genuinely find it hard to disagree with you. But you say those who disagree...- Real Deal

I think Woodsie's inference is not an unreasonable stretch. Its a fair argument in the light of what was said. I've read much more unreasonable things said on the forum this afternoon. SEr8 is the one who used Godwin's Law, not Woodsie.- Real Deal

Because the blue community thing doesn't have a huge idealogical payload, Volley. The rainbow stuff means a whole lot to many divergent people groups in our society. I have to be honest and say I don't agree with it at all. I don't want to go back to the bad old days of homophobic attacks and...- Real Deal

They "expect" you too wear it, Nicci? You shouldn't be expected to wear anyting that you don't want to. Unless your wear a uniform. The jersey is a uniform. Or should be. The problem is it changes every week.- Real Deal

Yeah but which jersey? Last week's one? The week before? And to those who say, "its just a few colours....". The rainbow flag is a flag of identity for LGBTIQ people. Agree or disagree it makes a big ideological statement. It says a lot. The colours mean something. The flip side is for those...- Real Deal
