RD 16: QLD v JAGUARES (AKA Argentina) - Lang Park 1/6 7.45

Look I’m not interested in starting a debate over this, but quick google search makes it pretty inconclusive if we are being fair

If a quick google search is about as deep as you go, I'm not surprised you reach that conclusion.

It’s indigenous round mate.. it’s about reconciliation not about you enjoying the show. How about you consider the indigenous rugby players and supporters about what it does for them and factor that into the discussion.

Yea and awesome, stop having such a emotional response to a conversation. I don’t need to factor them in to my discussion because I’m not speaking on behalf of them, if other people like it that’s fine, if it does something for indigenous people that’s great....it doesn’t do anything for me, and you can’t guilt trip me into having a positive emotional response to it, it just doesn’t do anything for me and I find it a bit pointless

I’m sorry how long did you spend educating yourself on the subject?

I agree. The All Blacks embraced their nations heritage to their distinct advantage. We should do the same.

I think we missed the boat on that by a few hundred years by not considering a treaty even if the agreement wasn’t worth the papyrus it was inscribed on.

nothing emotional there mate, just been pragmatic and urging you to consider indigenous perspectives and the actual reason of indigenous round so we can have an objective discussion on the matter. I think it’s silly to have a discussion about the value of indigenous round activities if we aren’t going to consider the reasons why we have a reconciliation week to start with.

If you didn’t take anything out of it then that’s fine, but does that make it ‘pointless’? No it doesn’t
