Socially Responsible Socialism: Manly own Goal

 Reading with interest about the Manly NRL club coming up with the bright idea of producing a Manly "Rainbow" football jersey and then expecting all the players to wear it, without consulting the players.

Some players, mainly devout Christian Polynesian players are now engulfed in a social media storm none of their making as they are refusing to wear the jersey due to their opposition to Same Sex relationships.

Such an own goal from Manly. Here is a club who for some reason, know only to its executives, decided on their own bat to promote a LGBTI agenda on the week of a must win game. As a result, 7 players have decided to stand down, and basically Manly will lose this game.

So its been a waste of time and money and it has divided the team at a time when they should be unified and focussed.

LGBTI rights will not be moved an iota by this type of stuff. It doesnt help. Purely marketing propaganda.
