Crawley gets it wrong again

[player 1]

One could write an essay on this but in short it's the classic old Aussie and even more so Rugby League fable of "everyone loves an underdog".

Souffs are viewed as "the battlers", or the "Pride of the League". We are viewed as the "latte sippers from the fancy Eastern suburbs". This was literally channel 9s intro into the 2014 Prelim.

The referees pandering to Souffs, and nit picking at us - as undeniable in the stats - is just a symptom of these stereotypes and Australia's fetish for mediocrity over self made successful people.

Some of it is subconscious. But sometimes, i.e. Cummins and the MRC, it's a little more conscious.

I'm sympathetic to battlers too. That doesn't mean I throw 20s and 50s at the meth and heroin heads in their rabbitohs hoodies sitting behind their cardboard signs at Pacific Square all day. I once offered to buy one a meal and he told me to get fcuked.

A friend of mine who works for Randwick council is today doing a 10.30-11.00 and 5.00-5.30 shift, going in to raise and lower the flag at the museum he works at (which is closed due to Covid).

I presume this was once industrially illegal, but was signed off by some stooge on behalf of all future casual employees under the banner of "enterprise bargaining".

It's a pity the Labour Party is too busy these days being woke to give a sh.it about this kind of arse buggery of workers - it used to be a reason I'd vote for them.

Oh did I mention he's a white, middle aged male?
