let's cancel all further indigenous rounds.. since we are "politicising the game" would you support a white player sitting out the indigenous rounds?? would you support bigotry in that way?? even if they said well it's "against my religion and culture" GROW UP PEOPLE.

​@@robinjames7967 has a "white" player ever publicly sat out of indigenous round? Since no one has sat out, does that mean racism doesn't exist in Australia? Of course not... These strawman arguments could go on forever... If you can't say "that's against my culture", is that oppression of culture. Couldn't that be classified as racist? I'm not calling you racist, I'm merely pointing out there's hypocrisy. What if a person had no qualms with individuals having whatever sexual preference but didn't want to become the "pride" poster boy, and that person simply decided it was best to sit out a week of football rather than put themselves in that position - remember in that religion it could well ostracise the individual (wrongly or rightly in your opinion, that's the case). Would that individual, without even speaking out against the LGBTQIA community or really even doing anything to hurt an individual or group of people, really be a bigot? Just because one person believes in a certain way of life, it doesn't mean the next person must accept, adhere or even understand that way of life, much more be forced to publicly support or accept potential risk reputational loss. It's way more nuanced than simply feeling like someone is a bigot when they don't support something you might feel strongly about. We can all get on while having different opinions - that's the beauty of life. I've had my vegan mother in law explain that I'm not a good parent because I allow my children to eat meat. She admitted that all other aspects of my parenting are pretty good. I felt pretty offended at first, but on proper reflection I really do understand that's just her thinking she's doing the right thing, but we'll never see eye to eye on that one. There's really no use me trying to argue, getting upset, hurt or calling her a bigot. She'll feel the same way about me (calling me a bigot for not understanding her progressive views) and the cycle of division keeps on going. I get over it, understand she feels strongly that eating animals is murder, and I think it's me being part of nature. We realise we have more in common than what divides us and we learn to get along, and actually enjoy each others company (as long as I eat tofu at her house haha). How about I agree to grow up, if you agree to calm down and don't let the outrage cloud what is actually the real path to widespread acceptance and inclusivity...

@@RBsports12 because LGBTQ+ people faces discrimination both historically and today because of their identity and straight cis people don’t. The reason why it wouldn’t be truly inclusive to let people wear the normal jersey is because it is platform of people making an explicitly exclusionary stance

It has nothing to do with inclusiveness. It's a commercial decision based purely on money.

@@spartanworrior4519 , no its not. The Manly jersey isn't exclusionary, not this round or any other rounds. Wearing the normal jersey would at worst be a neutral position not an exclusionary one, at best inclusive in accordance with both Manly and NRL policies in regards to inclusion. Forcing players to wear this LQBTQI+ pride jersey or be forced to not play is exclusionary however because it forces players to make a statement in favour of sexual conduct that conflicts with their religious beliefs.
