1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: This is gem Nation with Jonesy.

2
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 2: Let's get on down to the Jonesy demand of arms

3
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:09,399
Speaker 2: for the pub test. Manly players refusing to wear the

4
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 2: Pride jersey. Does this pass the pub test?

5
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 3: This is the first time a Pride jersey has been produced,

6
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:17,960
Speaker 3: and this is for the Manly players. They have instead

7
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 3: of the white stripes across the front of their myro

8
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:23,959
Speaker 3: own jersey, there are rainbow colors. They're being asked to

9
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 3: wear it this week to show the idea of league

10
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 3: accepting inclusion.

11
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 2: And pertinent because the Seals great Ian Roberts, the first

12
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:34,880
Speaker 2: rugby league player to come out as openly openly gay.

13
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:36,160
Speaker 2: It played for Manly.

14
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:40,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, there are seven players who are refusing to wear

15
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 3: it this weekend, presumably for along religious grounds. I would

16
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 3: say this is, as I said earlier, selective Christianity. Because

17
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:49,919
Speaker 3: there's a sports there's a betting company that advertises right

18
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 3: across the front. Lots of people don't like the uniform

19
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 3: they have to wear for work. On the other hand,

20
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 3: the players say they weren't consulted that this decision was

21
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 3: made by the club. It was put to them and

22
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 3: that was it. Bill Shorten was being interviewed about other

23
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 3: things on television this morning, and he had this to say.

24
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:07,960
Speaker 4: On one hand, you'll have a lot of young gay

25
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 4: people will be saying, what do we have to validate

26
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 4: our existence again? On the other hand, these players feel

27
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 4: strongly their view and the supporters miss out. So how

28
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 4: did it get to this? How did the club sort

29
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 4: of allow this train wreck to occur?

30
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 2: The club should have consulted the players before they decided

31
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 2: to do it.

32
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,199
Speaker 3: But you wouldn't expect this to be so controversial.

33
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 2: Well exactly. But then, as in Robert said, I can

34
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 2: promise you every young kid on the Northern Beaches who

35
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 2: was dealing with their sexuality would have heard about how

36
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 2: does this make that?

37
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 5: Man?

38
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 2: You know, it's so okay?

39
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 3: Mainly players refusing to wear the Pride jersey. Does it

40
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 3: pass the pub test?

41
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 6: No, regen. If you want to be gay, that's bind mate,

42
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 6: but you know, don't force it on everybody else. Do

43
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 6: you want to have your own game?

44
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 7: Gon and get your own game? Leave our game alone?

45
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 7: As the manager the cherry picking their Christianity and this

46
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 7: is not what Christianity is all about. It's about embracing everybody,

47
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 7: thank you, and everyone loved, and not aggregating everyone and

48
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 7: telling somebody worthless.

49
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:08,079
Speaker 6: When majority is going to have minorities stop being pushed

50
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 6: on us. It's just wrong that there's solid men and

51
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 6: they what are we wearing around rainbows? No, I'm sorry,

52
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 6: minorities need to understand. Not all of majorities accept it

53
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 6: as wrong. Now it doesn't it's the uniform.

54
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 7: They don't want to wear the uniform. Don't pay them.

55
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 7: These young men are in a very privileged position to

56
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 7: be playing a game for their living. And if you

57
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 7: don't like it, go get a job somewhere else. Try

58
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 7: wearing personal protecting equipment for the last two years at

59
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 7: the hospital.

60
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,519
Speaker 1: It does not pass the pub test. This is selective,

61
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:40,519
Speaker 1: hypocritical Christianity.

62
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 7: They should all be sacked if they don't play.

63
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 1: We are not robot, We are Him and Goods, and

64
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: we all have our own key.

65
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 5: And they all do. A manly supporter, a personate manly supporter.

66
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 5: And it actually discussed me that these guys have got

67
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 5: the hide to not wear this jersey. It's it's not

68
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 5: a date. But we've got to put up with these

69
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 5: guys praying after the game, which I find insulting. And

70
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 5: yet they won't come to the party.

71
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: I reckon that these boys are employed by the company

72
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 1: and the boss just to kick a uniform. So they

73
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: should be stopping so entitled and do what they're told.

74
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: So they should stop being whiners and get on with it.

75
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 2: It's all about inclusivity. That's what it is when it

76
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 2: comes down to it

77
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 3: Well they do this group of opinions there
