[quote author=Brian_Ross link=1741752341/0#0 date=1741752341]Anti-Australian punting class action plaintiff wants equity for US kids - How soon before we see Trump impose tariffs on us for American football dominance?  Tsk, tsk, tsk... Roll Eyes Roll Eyes



Don't try to be even stupider than you naturally ( and thanks to your extensive 'education') are, Bbwiyawn.





The court documents state that allowing Australian athletes in their mid-20s — some of whom have played professional Australian rules football — to win scholarships gives them an unfair advantage over student athletes who normally enter college aged 18 or 19.

"ProKick all but guarantees its trainees who pay tuition exceeding $15,000, will receive a full scholarship to punt in the United States upon completion of their pre-collegiate training school," the court documents say.

"This age and experience disparity grants Australians an unfair competitive advantage in developing their physical skills, leg strength, and technical punting expertise compared to American high school graduates who lack the equivalent timing opportunity to acquire a similar skill competency."


So you want DEI?[/quote]

No. I don't want you and Bbwiyawn get off on or away with  your retarded faggotry.


How is it DEI to NOT let  blokes compete in women's sports or, as here,  object to seasoned footballers competing with school leavers for sport scholarships.

You two bozos stand out for you inability to think. You have made it your trademark.



So after all this time, you still don't know what DEI means then?

As I said, dont be stupider than you already, naturally are.

How is it DEI to NOT endorse blokes as bepenised women or having grown-ups compete with kids for sport scholarships? You have to be hellbent on on retarded faggotry to label opposition to this sort of nnonsense as DEI - And then moronically double down and yap about the definition of DEI.





You've changed the topic to gender when this is about age.

The Australian candidates for these scholarships have been granted them based on merit. 

They are simply better than the American candidates.

So you're supporting the lawsuit to change the criteria to restrict the best college students from getting these grants or scholarships to instead go to less qualified people.

This has been the definition you've been using for DEI from pilots to fire chiefs, that they've been given the job not because they're the best candidate for it, but for some other reason, usually the colour of their skin, their gender or who they love.

Now you're supporting proposed changes to the scholarship program to not pick the best college candidates, but ones based on their age.

You're shifting it from merit to DEI (as you would call it).

This has nothing to do with men playing in women's leagues.

So as others have said, you're pro DEI when it suits you now?

What kind of "retarded faggotry" is this you're peddling now?

You haven't actually read the article, have you, KangaMonga? You are just going off, half-cocked but full bluster, as usual.





"If the NCAA said right now, 'Yes, we're going to change this. We're not going to allow ex-professional players, and everybody has to be under the age of 21. We'll let any Australian punter come over under the age of 21 who doesn't have prior (professional experience),' I would walk right down to the courthouse, tear up the lawsuit right now."

The class action is based on six legal claims including age discrimination, anti-trust and unfair trade practices laws, as well as violation of the US Constitution's 14th Amendment, which states that "no state shall deny any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws".

"NCAA policies disproportionately favour international athletes over domestic ones, granting them an extended period of eligibility while maintaining restrictive age limits in other sports," the court documents state.

Loeffler cites the case of ice hockey in the NCAA, where athletes lose one year of tuition for every year they are over 21.

Under those rules, a 23-year-old would only be eligible for two years of tuition instead of the usual four.

"We wanted to show the hypocrisy that in other — sports ice hockey, tennis, skiing — they have these regulations in place so that you can't just go get your proficiency and just keep going and going and then decide at 25 or 26, now I'm going to come dominate the competition," Loeffler said.

"I don't want to exclude anybody. If there is an 18-year-old Australian punter who is phenomenal, come on over."

You go triggered and I watched you have a breakdown.

What you've quoted makes it clear, in this case, you are not supporting a meritocracy where the best person is being selected.

In the past you've made it clear that you consider that to be DEI.

So I was asking you, and passing comment that, in my opinion, it appears that you do support DEI, when it suits you, in this case to hurt your fellow countrymen.

Can you simp any harder for the US?

These are college scholarships for young people leaving high school, not for ex-pros with years of experience,  in their mid 20s.
Your attempt to make it about 'merit' or 'anti-Australian'  is idiotic.  Bbwianesque.

It's ok Frannie, this wouldn't be the first time you've been caught in more knots than a pretzel.

I'd offer you a Russian comparison since you seem to be very pro their interests these days, but I'm not aware of any pretzel-like knotted breads of Russian origin.

Old boy Australian?

Come come. He's as unAustralian as they come - a gen-u-wine, country-shopping NESBer.

Old boy never claimed to be Australian, dear. He pouts about "white Western values" like a mincing old fruit. He's worse than Alan Jones with his butt plug in.

The old boy's a preening old curtain-peeper. He's the kind of cantankerous old wog who'd aim their hose at you if you played too close to his driveway.

WE DON'T WANT THEM HERE !!!

Letting 25 year old pro footballers compete for college sport scholarships with school leavers is not promoting merit. It is not fair on the school leavers for whom the scholarships are designed. As the guy in the article said, he has no issue with Australian school leavers applying for these scholarships and win them if they are good. THAT is about merit on a level field.



You pretend you are as stupid and malicious as Bbwiyawn and paki Karnal. Or maybe you are and it is not a pretence. All three of you pricks see exactly what the point is  - it is really a very simple point so it wouldnt be beyond even your negligible mental powers  - but pretend, like morons, that it is somehow about patriotism or DEI or Trump, pretzels and migrants, even Russia (you, idiot, even bring Russia into it, FFS!)  and all the rest of your idiocies.

No answer, Soren?  Oh, dearie, dearie, me, what a WOFTAM you are.  You claim to be well educated but generally only use expletives and ad huminem insults.  You lose your cool at anyone who dares to question what you claim.  I'll accept your white flag.  Tsk, tsk, tsk...  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

Frankly, Frannie, you say a lot of things, most like this are to placate your sensitive ego.  A lot of it has just become white noise.

College is college.  The only rule around football is the 5 year rule.  There are no age restrictions.

Quote:

Now we're getting somewhere.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion is about fairness because it seeks to address systemic barriers and create equal opportunities for all individuals, regardless of their background.

Are you starting to get it yet?

Quote:
As the guy in the article said, he has no issue with Australian school leavers applying for these scholarships and win them if they are good. THAT is about merit on a level field.


DEI is also justified as a way to level the playing field, meaning it seeks to ensure that all individuals have a fair chance to succeed, regardless of their starting position.

I'm sorry you've decided to remain wilfully ignorant about what DEI truly represents. Now that you've inadvertently conceded to its underlying principles, rather than the strawman you've been peddling, you're clearly struggling with the weight of your own cognitive dissonance.

But really, Frannie, that's your burden to bear, not mine. Stop the tantrums, quit lashing out, and confront your own intellectual shortcomings instead of projecting them onto others.

It's an unflattering look, one that clashes terribly with your handbag, dear.

Do better.
