Anthony Mundine - Freak Show

Is there any bigger racist in Australia than Anthony Mundine?

Every time he opens his racist mouth and utters his hate filled, unfiltered statements, he not only sounds like an lunatic, he also damages the plight of the Australian indigenous races and the progress of the reconciliation process.

Mundine's racial rant about Daniel Geale (quote below) is a little much, even for him.

"I don’t see (Geale) as representing us black people, or coloured people. I don’t see him out in the communities doing what I do with people … he got a white woman, white kids."

Not that it matters, but for the sake of the argument, I would be willing to wager that there is plenty of European ancestry in Mundine's genealogy.

Mundine saying that he represents Aboriginal People is a bit like Colonel Sanders saying he's there for the chickens. He is a user and an abuser of his heritage. It is all about him not the Aboriginals. He's shut himself of from the majority of European Australian support with his Muslim antics and by playing the race card, and now with this latest statement about Geale, a lot of indigenous support would have disappeared as well.

As Aboriginal activist and lawyer Michael Mansell says in reference to the rant on Geale.
"He's talking about 80 percent of the (Aboriginal) population of Australia, including himself. It's hypocritical and it's stupid."

 Now he is going to turn his back on the national anthem and the flag. Perhaps he should move to a Muslim country and spew his racial hatred there.

When he has gone from the news and sports headlines with his buffoonery, instead of being remembered as a champion sportsman, as his father is, he will be remembered primarily as a racist fool, disliked by most and a rugby league footballer and boxer who never quite realised his potential as a Champion Australian Sports Hero.

I hope, as I believe most Australians do, that Daniel Geale smashes Mundine tonight.

Happy Australia Day

Happy Australia Day.

Australia Day is the national day of Australia and is celebrated every year on the 26th of January to commemorate  the landing of the first fleet at Sydney Cove, New South Wales in 1788.

It was previously known by other names such as Anniversary Day, Foundation Day and ANA day.

Some Aboriginal activists would have it named as Invasion Day, however thankfully they are in a minority.

As the original races who made their way into Australia over many tens of thousands of years, fought each other for their bit of Australia, winner take all; so did Europeans.

Our mode of grabbing a foothold on the shores of this great country are similar. Therefore how can European races be called invaders and the various "Aboriginal" tribes not? 

Their ancestors arrived a different times over 40 to 60 thousand years ago from different countries to the north of Australia and as they followed each other in over the land bridges from Africa, Asia the northern islands, they took the land they wanted from whoever was on it, if they could. So what is the difference; it is how all Peoples got to their lands down through the ages.

Rather than bicker about who came first (As nobody knows) lets let Australia Day signify the coming together of all Australians willing to commit to our heritage and way of life.

Let the criteria for being Australian be a commitment to our way of life, our culture, and a continuing contribution to the greatness of our magnificent country. Don't attempt to pull it down with your jealousies and your bitterness and laziness. Stand on your own and contribute or shut up. We'll look after you if you can't contribute; but at least have a go mate.

Perhaps in deference to all sensitivities we could change the commemoration date to a happier day for all, or perhaps we could have no specific date, just the last weekend in January and always a long week-end. It should be a favorite holiday for all Australians. Cutting through religion, race and politics. Who knows it may eventually generate good will between all Australians as Christmas is supposed to with Christians.

Happy Australia Day! I'm off to have a beer with my Wog, Abbo mate. 

ACB Player Rotation Will Harm Aussie Cricket.

Without Spectators and Viewers there is no Cricket.

If we can't watch the best players and our established heroes play each week, the fans will drift away.
We understand injury, poor form and retirement, however we don't understand this academic theory of rotating players, particularly when there is no proof that it works. How many injured players do we have currently despite the policy?

Any sportsman will tell you that the best fitness is match fitness and that you lose your edge if you are out of the battle even for a short time.

To date the results from this rotation policy show that there is little or nothing to be gained and a great deal to lose. I give some examples of negatives below.

Two of the best players in the country in all forms of the game were rotated out of the first of the ODI matches this week. Dave Warner it seems was the victim of the rotation policy, and Mike Hussey seems to have upset someone because he retired from test cricket. The selectors say that they are selecting the side with World Cup 2015 in mind. Are you serious? That's two years away. The best available team should always be selected, or don't Sri Lanka or the West Indies deserve our best?

Cricket is a team sport; the best players do their very best to cement their place in that team. Then to be sidelined when they are in their best form, by a group of wankers for a two year experiment, is Bull Shit. This can only disrupt a tight team and put doubt and insecurity into the minds of the players.

When our best players have won their way into the hearts and minds of the fans and then are sidelined when in best form, the fans feel cheated and start to tune out. Particularly when the players are excitement machines like Warner and Hussey. You would think that the ACB would owe Huss some gratitude for the player he has been for Australia. After all he is still one of the best players in the world in any form of the game.

Do the cricketing public have to watch second stringers (No matter how well they went) until 2015 or do we wait until we start losing games after selectors have destroyed player confidence and team moral. Perhaps we should rotate the selectors.
 
The fans hate it, the players hate it, the sponsors hate it and therefore Channel 9 and their affiliates hate it.

Why can't we simply replace players as they are injured, showing prolonged poor form or they are retiring, like any other sensible national team?

Is there any truth to the rumour that the Australian Cricket Selectors are the same guys that select the NSW State of Origin side?

Keep the core team together you drongos, just ask players from our great teams of the past and the fans that followed them.
