This means more to me than any BS opinion from us white folk:
From the HS:
How the AFL will honour Queen’s passing as league scraps minute’s silence at AFLW games and moves Brownlow Medal night
The decision to scrap the minute’s silence at AFLW matches due to Indigenous Round sensitivities has been met with backlash. Plus, the big Brownlow change locked in.
The decision to scrap the minute’s silence at AFLW matches due to Indigenous Round sensitivities has been met with backlash. Plus, the big Brownlow change locked in.
Indigenous elder Ian Hunter has slammed the AFL’s decision to not observe a minute’s silence to honour Queen Elizabeth II during this weekend’s AFLW round of football.
The AFLW is celebrating Indigenous round, with a decision being made to scrap the minute’s silence after the league considered sensitivities regarding the issue.
A minute’s silence was held on Friday night before the Western Bulldogs’ win over Fremantle at Ikon Park but will not feature for the remainder of the AFLW round.
Ian Hunter said it was “deeply disrespectful” to not stand for the moment’s silence in honour of Her Majesty.
“It is totally disrespectful to our country who is a part of the British colony, disrespectful, that’s what I’d say,” he said.
“The problem was there was probably one or two individuals going ‘I don’t reckon we should because of it being Indigenous round’.”
A ceremony to mark the monarch’s death, including a minute’s silence, was conducted before the Melbourne-Brisbane men’s semi-final on Friday night. A minute’s silence will again be observed before the Collingwood-Fremantle match at the MCG on Saturday night.
