Warren Mundine has lashed out at the AFLW for deciding to boycott the minute's silence ahead of the weekend's games in remembrance of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
So you’d think it only appropriate that the code mark the death of the Queen of Australia in the customary way by holding a minute’s silence before the games on the weekend after her death. But it scrapped the minute’s silence for the AFL Women’s League games after clubs complained it was “insensitive” to hold a minute’s silence during the AFLW’s Indigenous round.
I’m a little tired of white people and woke organisations speaking for Aboriginal people and assuming to know what Aboriginal people think and feel. I also have Irish heritage and could find plenty of things in Britain’s historical treatment of the Irish to take issue with. He twice received Queen’s Birthday honours"for distinguished services to the advancement of the Aboriginal people" and reportedly said that MBE stood for"more black than ever".
Aussie Rules football is one of the toughest games in the world. How could anyone who plays or follows it be triggered by anything? Yet my parents never considered themselves to be victims or oppressed, and they raised my siblings and me to think the same way.
