The obvious answer to this is: a young black man who was our club skipper at the time persuaded his team mates to stop because it didnât work for him. That made a lot of middle class middle aged white blokes on here, myself include, a bit uneasy at the optics it showed in the national media. But theyâve largely stuck with that since he left. Presumably as a matter of choice. Itâs hardly a âso whatâ.
I mean, we could change back. But what message does that send? To say now that uppity black fellowâs gone now we should do what us old white blokes always thought they should do to show how much we care about racism? Not sure thatâs a good look either.
That should go without saying though obviously.
