SJW's Always Double Down

As surely as The Son rose, the SJW did not cause the problems a business is facing, they were just misunderstood. Everyone just needs more consultation, endless consultation. Therefore they must double down: 

"Manly powerbrokers remain committed to again releasing their “Everyone in League” jersey in 2023 despite the role the controversial initiative played in the demise of Des Hasler.

The Sea Eagles terminated Hasler’s employment with a season remaining on his contract, alleging he had breached the terms of the agreement by bringing the club into disrepute...

...Seven players boycotted the “Everyone in League” clash against the Roosters in round 20, with the under-strength side suffering a 20-10 loss. The players returned the following week, but the side never recovered, losing their remaining matches to finish the season in 11th spot...

...The original launch was timed to coincide with Women in League round in a bid to bring attention to the contribution of females to football. However, the subsequent controversy overshadowed the NRL’s initiative and will likely be shifted to another time of the season in 2023.

ARLC chairman Peter V’landys flagged the prospect of the NRL launching an inclusivity round next year and Manly want to work with head office to avoid the pitfalls of their inaugural launch."

By every metric the pride jersey failed. Their branding of it as an "inclusion jersey" fell flat. The team did not rise to the occasion. The coach could not rally the players. And a team capable of going deep into the finals faded off, losing all of its games after that match, missing the finals altogether. 

But the mission to push inclusivity must go forward. Therefore, they will march onwards anyway. The goal of the Manly club is now to be the mascot of inclusivity. This was as predictable as it is tragic, because this is what SJW's do. 

But football is not about inclusion. It is about athletic supremacy. It is about ruthless defeat of the competition. It is about overcoming pain, and rising above the opponent and your own physical limits. Sport is the opposite of inclusion, and nothing can continue to function once it's purpose has been inverted. 

Manly's tragic results with their inclusion round are a warning: don't go down this road. Because part of the "inclusion" in NRL is a strong base of masculine Christian men from countries that view supporting pride and inclusivity of sexual sin as a great sin itself. The NRL is heading towards a real calamity here. Of course it is not in the nature of ideological fools to heed warnings.
