I have put a lot of thought into this problem and have decided that Wallam should apologise. Had she not culturally appropriated the game of netball, none of this would have happened.
Mundane should apologise for his appropriation of both boxing & rugby league.
Once they have apologised this whole mess should be over and sports can be sports again.
In an interview in October 2001, Mundine said of the 11 September terrorist attacks, "They call it an act of terrorism, but if you can understand religion, and our way of life, it’s not about terrorism. It’s about fighting for God’s law, and America’s brought it upon themselves".[60] Offering some insight into his tendency to make controversial comments in the media, Mundine stated, "If you want to toe the line, if you want to be some corporate guy and say the right things, do the right things, you might be okay in the media's eye, but it won't be real for me".[61] Mundine later claimed he was taken out of context: "Those comments were just spun around like I was clapping my hands. I have a family too, I know what it is like to suffer the loss of someone close to me, and I would never wish that upon anyone. The point I was trying to get across was that it was in a war state of mind, and there is always going to be tit for tat, so why put yourself in a situation where you can endanger people. I have got nothing against any American, I have got nothing against any human being. It breaks my heart that people think I would even have that line of thought about being happy about people dying. That is crap and I want to clarify that because it is wrong".[62]
Mundine also referred to Cathy Freeman as a sellout: "Cathy Freeman. She sold out, toeing the line. And that ain't me. I'm not a fake." He also went on to state repeated times that men, not women, are more qualified to lead. "As far as being a leader, that's not her anyway, a man can only lead."[61]
In late 2012, Mundine questioned former opponent WBA/IBF champion Daniel Geale's indigenous Tasmanian heritage by saying that he should not wear the Australian Aboriginal Flag on his shorts: "I thought they wiped all the Aborigines from Tasmania out.... He's got a white woman, he's got white kids. I keep it real, all day every day". When asked whether Geale deserved to sport the Aboriginal flag on his trunks, he said, "No".[63] Mundine later apologised to the Tasmanian Aboriginal community and added that he felt many people claimed indigenous heritage to receive government benefits but had no real connection with their Aboriginal roots. He also claimed that Australia was one of "the most racist nations in the world" before calling for the Australian anthem and the Australian flag to be changed to be more inclusive of indigenous Australians.[64]
In November 2013, Mundine, an Aboriginal Australian,[65] made comments on Twitter stating that homosexuality was incompatible with Aboriginal beliefs.[66] Following Mundine's comments, Aboriginal actor Luke Carroll pointed out that Mundine's own religious beliefs that led him to form his opinions on homosexuality were incompatible with the Aboriginal Dreamtime.[67] On coming out in a 2015 interview with NITV, former NRL player Casey Conway described Mundine's comments as "really disappointing" and unrepresentative of the Aboriginal community, describing the damage that homophobic comments can do to young people.[68]
Mundine is a strong opponent of lockdown measures in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. On 25 July, he attended a large anti-lockdown protest in Sydney breaching gathering laws, despite previously receiving two fines for breaking lockdown laws by flying from Sydney to Ballina without a reasonable excuse and refusing to wear a mask while shopping.[69][70] He also opposes COVID-19 vaccination, writing on Facebook, “You take the shot then you will have serious health problems even death!”. Mundine considers the vaccine rollout to be an attempt to depopulate the Earth.[71]
I think the mob has been stirred up by infiltrators and they believe this so they are incensed by something that doesn't matter. She has atoned by giving so much to mobs in WA, what more can she do? My great grandfather was a blackbirder, am I to be hung, drawn and quartered for that? I wasn't there. Gina is right to withdraw her sponsorship and I applaud her for remaining silent
Has anyone commented on Bill Gates' desire to see world population reduced by 90% or his sterilization of black Africans for the last 20 years?
Lang might have had problems with some natives and being an Evolutionist / Eugenicist thought that Darwin and Sanger were right and these "lower forms of life", as they called them, might be removed from the earth as part of it's purifying evolution.
In fact I don't remember these women standing against abortion or euthanasia (eugenics / Malthusian tools) or joining the "Right to life" movement against such things as sterilization and murder of the unwanted (by some).
Do they now want to protest against the "vaccines" that are more deadly against natives, have sterilization chemicals in them (porcine) and are causing many women to miscarry, become sterile and other people to "die suddenly" as part of a real genocide?
Gena is a good woman who could make lots of money by investing in these bioweapons like Bill Gates, but she has shown herself to be generous to many good causes including free speech.
These women want to censor everyone as part of their self righteous Woke agenda.
Inconsistency is the sign of a failed argument and these Woke people are totally inconsistent.
I can visualise the dads of these critics quietly retreating to the shed never to emerge again. No one is without sin. These fools need to address their own prejudice before pointing fingers.
No one should play netball … it was created by a white woman for white women in the British Empire.
Great comments, James. Go Gina😀

You're welcome!
Summed it up perfectly.
sometimes you reclaim the line and say no.
Too right. . We are only responsible for our own sin not our parents or our ancestors or anyone else's sin. These idiots have lost plot.
Sport should be about sport. It's becoming more and more about politics. I support Gina's actions.

An excellent piece, James. Thank you.
Umm, it didn't take long to find this about the self absorbed, racist Anthony Mundine.

Public controversy
In an interview in October 2001, Mundine said of the 11 September terrorist attacks, "They call it an act of terrorism, but if you can understand religion, and our way of life, it’s not about terrorism.

👏😊 Here here James!

Some more sound common sense from a conservative.
Has anyone commented on Bill Gates' desire to see world population reduced by 90% or his sterilization of black Africans for the last 20 years?

Go Woke, go broke.

As the song says…”let it go, let it go!” You’re right james, it’s a fools game and fools love to play it! Another great article!
