On Thursday, the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles will become the first team in the competition ever to don a kit which promotes LGBT inclusivity in the sport.
The MANLY?!
That is priceless.
EDIT: I'm leaving it up as I believe in owning mistakes but see post #33.

Could the Manly club have chosen a more pathetic photo of players modelling the shirt?

Homophobia or just refusing to take part in woke virtue signalling?
Exactly, I'm sure if a rainbow campaign paid for shirt sponsorship the players would drop their protests.
Or scaredy snowflakes ?
Err...homophobia.

Where is the "woke virtue signalling" in this? That just feels like an easy phrase to use when people don't want to admit the real reasons they're uncomfortable with something.

The words meant nothing 10 years ago. It’s just a new phrase for the intellectually challenged that have to read the Daily Mail to have an ‘opinion’ on anything

Given how many letters there are now in the alphabet it's hard to know which one they might not support.
It's not like all the G's and L's recognise all the T's or Qs.
