Right oh......
let me start by saying this...i felt the urge to be
silly and use the phrase..."let's not beat around
the bush" first and foremost...!
i then threw in the average standard remark as
let's say collateral damage...!
now having said that...let me say this...my beef
is primarily with the AFL...the AFL and the penis...
i say AFL and the penis because they're two
things i hate being shoved down my throat...!
it's even worse when you've first been shown an
ice-cream that turns out to be a penis...!
that's right...the AFL are not only trying to shove
something down my throat...they're showing me a
salted caramel Magnum*...and then replacing it
somewhere along the line £#@&ing Dynamo style
with a PENIS...!
look i somehow feel I'm drifting a little...!
the thing is...when i hear a female sing make music
act write paint...i appreciate it for what it is...i never
say oh that's good for a girl...it's just plain bloody
good...!
so i have trouble using the words good for a girl...
and yet this is what we're being expected to feel...
sure sport is different i hear you say...but that's it
too...!
i know those girls gave their all and then some
last night...but I'm sorry if i can't buy it...I've been
spoilt for the last 53 years with the top level
of the sport we love...the best quality that can be
delivered to me...!
now it's all this...!
someone used the words "perfect storm" earlier...
that's right...it was...everything was right on the
night...!
let's not forget we're...(us CFC supporters)...more
than likely feeling the best about this today...we won...
first game...inaugural blah blah blah...!
you guys know how i feel about foundations...the
quicker it goes up the banger down it falls...see
my Pokémon rant pertaining to said phenomena...!
there's a whole separate problem i have with allotted
tv time to other female sports...I'd watch the Netball
before the football...at least it's the best possible
standard...!
again let me reiterate...it's not the girls fault they are
doing their best...I'm not going to the ladies 100m Olympic
Final and expecting an all inclusive WR time beating
the men's time too...!
I'm not a complete idiot...!
the thing is...even after realising it's a penis
being shoved down our throats...the AFL
will still be trying to pretend it's not...!
as for the girls...they had a R.H.G. ...!
kindest regards tommi
* look it's 38c in the shade here...you start
waving that salted caramel Magnum around...
my mouth will present itself accordingly...!
this is one of the most articulate posts from you I have ever read
i agree with the thrust (pardon the pun) of what you are saying
an exclusive affluent class of people sitting on an unaccountable board (in this case, the AFL Board) ramming political agendas down my throat
that's the issue that digs at me - but again this political agenda is masquerading the real, motive being money -because it is only money that drives this and motivates the afl- the afl are bankrolling all the costs of this 1st year and carlton are putting up zero $
on the PP issue - the game last night shows that carlton love PP - just like the scum v blues at PP this time last year
for those who think im sexist - well I have been watching netball for over 10 years and think its absolutely intense and brilliant to watch particularly diamonds v silver ferns
Funny that...I hate netball as a game (at any level) and I'm sure people think I'm sexist because of it.
I watched a few live games of the BBLW this past season and thoroughly enjoyed doing so. Some fine skills on display there.
As for the AFLW, some skills have been very good, and many lacking abysmally. Will improve over time no doubt.
And of course, it's totally up to me if I watch it or not.
