People seem to forget that Leon had begun to lose the confidence of MM. He was, after all, dropped for our 2nd GF team. |
Err... no. I mean, yeah, he was dropped for GF2... But that was 2010. 2011 as a defender was different. |

That hardly seems sufficient.
We need at least one personal adviser for each player on the list and each of the admin staff.
Will those that were already there when we were systematically racist be advising themselves or someone else? |

Did someone say racism is not a problem ?
Or should racist people learn to be un-racist? |
It'd be nice if players could go at least half a day at a club before being racially abused by their own members... |

Interesting article. Yeah, the term woke is being used as indiscrimalty as American conservatives use the word communist.

How the word ‘woke’ was hijacked to silence people of colour
https://metro.co.uk/2020/03/27/word-woke-became-tool-silence-people-colour-12426214/
"It has even been picked up by advertisers, with Burger King using the word in commercials for their new vegan burgers – inferring that being ‘woke’ is something frivolous, an ideology to be laughed at.
...
But twisting the meaning of this word in this way is specifically damaging to people of colour because, although it is now used in relation to any seemingly liberal position, the origins of ‘woke’ are so inextricably tied up in recognising and fighting racism.
If being ‘woke’ is a bad thing, the subtext is that speaking out about racial inequalities is a bad thing. The use of this word is a convenient veil.
...
‘The intention of this word was for it to have a positive outcome for a minority group,’ he [linguistics professor Jonathan Charteris-Black] explains. ‘But when other groups feel threatened or challenged by it, they might want to subvert it in some way. And by using the enemy’s weapons, that makes it an even more powerful tool for them.’
...
The subversion of ‘woke’ is political and means the word can now be used to perpetuate the very injustices it sought to eradicate in the first place. This word has power, and the people who use it as a weapon are all too aware of the underlying connotations of racial and social ideologies. It is used to undermine and disparage the voices committed to fighting for social justice and the rights of minorities – and to silence these views without engaging with them." |

FFS, just as we finally have a sports journalist (Jake Niall) seeing it all from a wider perspective above, and the club takes its first big step towards addressing racism with the advisory group, Shae McNamara decides to lay the boots in some more on his Twitter account. Calls out Luke Ball, Maxy, Bucks, Eddie (of course) and Pendles. Sigh.
It's starting to look like Heritier and friends are more focused on getting revenge than contributing in a positive way to moving forward. Aah well, their perrogative I guess as personal healing will take as long as it takes. However, trying to exact personal revenge can inhibit true progress being made.  |

Football is a medium. It doesn't surprise me that more people are influenced by sport then straight up politics. A lot of people tune out to politics.

Jake Niall nailed it.
One of the few old school journalists out there that does not try to sensationalise everything and provides some sensible balance

| Jake Niall is a friend of the Collingwood Football Club and has the best intentions as a football journalist. Why can't the broader football community takes us for what we are? We're doing our best to stamp out any form of racism at the club with hiring the best people to move the club forward. Unfortunately there are people out there pretending that racism only exists at the Collingwood Football Club and delight in knocking us. |
