More of the wacky Australian football idpol disaster, because it is just... Everything wrong with society, in my country, right now. This thing is ripping apart polite society, a day before their "Grand Final". And of course the fucking State Broadcaster is the one behind it... (archive.ph)

I didn't mean they'd have their own - I meant they'd take over a position of power.

On a very personal note, with this, my ex partner ended up in this situation, with her local footy club...

They created a women's team. She joined. Club president (male) quit, a few years later. She was the only one (so she told me) willing to take over the job. So, as a result, she ends up as president of the whole club, men's and women's teams (and juniors) included, despite being, as she herself admitted, a fairly mediocre player herself...

I'm not saying she is a bad person, or will run the thing into the ground, or anything of the sort, but it is... Interesting, that this exact phenomenon is repeated at even that level, to such an extent that I have been personally... "Wrapped up in it somewhat", let's say...

And I've personally seen that happen with two women, in two clubs, in two states where AFL is not even the main sport...

Little bit odd, I would think.

Did the previous club president quit for a particular reason? A political reason?

Tangentially: isn't that how many higher bureaucrats get their jobs? Being mediocre. A talented person whether in sport or anything else would keep doing it while the lesser ones quit or get promoted to become coaches or some sort of middle level bureaucrat.

Well yes, but the whole "women's football" thing was literally a backdoor to "We need female club presidents" (which has happened) and "AFL executives should be female!" (I present to you, the woman "in charge of"/"leading" this "investigation": https://www.afl.com.au/news/79611/indigenous-leader-tanya-hosch-named-as-new-afl-diversity-chief)...

So, while it may seem we are talking cross-purposes here, these things are, in essence, one and the same...

Oh and fucking cricket. Because of course...

This is happening with Australian domestic soccer, too, I note.

Step 1: Make (or, in reality, demand) a women's team.

Step 2: Merge many of the functions, within the same club, between the men's and women's teams.

Step 3: Make a woman the executive.

Step 4: Fire the previous management.

Step 5 (We are here): Make everything woke.

Step 6 (and in the case of Hawthorn, this is literally what woke idiots on social media are clamouring for): Abolish the men's team...

That is one possible pathway, anyway... In the AFL, that is literally, unironically, what has begun to happen, and soccer is headed that way, too.

I don't think these things are coincidental, frankly...
