The most off-putting thing about the NFL asking two teams to fly 16 hours to the other side of the world and play a key division rivalry game in Australia the first week of the season was the league agreeing to give the performative antics of some lady named Aunty Joy Murphy Wandin a stage during its pregame ceremony.
Aunty Joy, as she is affectionately called by her followers, which include people in the Australian government, is an Indigenous Australian and Senior Wurundjeri elder of the Kulin Alliance, Victoria.
And what that title means is that she is often tasked with giving the traditional Welcome to Country greeting at many Melbourne, Australia events.
Except a welcome to country greeting from Aunty Joy isn't actually a welcome. It's a stolen land acknowledgement lecture during which she makes it clear that the land the visitors are on doesn't belong to White Australians.
It belongs to whatever Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander that first inhabited the land thousands of years ago. It was 60,000 years ago, if you believe Aunty Joy's speech at the Melbourne Cricket Ground before Thursday's game.
And the obvious question one might ask is why the NFL would accept this narrative being part of what was otherwise a solemn and respectful 9/11 pregame memorial featuring both Americans and Australians?
Why make the Netflix audience at home, not to mention the teams standing on the sidelines waiting for kickoff, listen to this stolen land gibberish?
And, let there be no doubt, it was gibberish meant to finger-wag and lecture Whitey.

Do they have the original receipt?
Anti joy. Perfect name for a Leftist hag.
We need to start making them do stolen land acknowledgements before all of the big city meetings in Dearborn, Detroit, Minneapolis, Chicago, New York, San Francisco, Cleveland, etc.... acknowledging that all of these cities used to be inhabited and run by white people before the Muslims, Africans, Central and South Americans and black people moved in and started subsisting off stolen government resources.
why the NFL would accept this narrative“
Because the NFL is run by some of the most disgusting leftists in the country. Thank you owners.
It does exactly zero for the natives, and lets the ruling class feel very morally superior while dispossessing the working class.
👍
Not one Maoist anywhere in the world has offered to give their own land back to whoever says it is theirs. Not one.
Ok, white Australians, you heard it from Aunty Joy: Get out of our land!! Oh, wait, we weren’t supposed to take her seriously? This was just a stunt to make the lefties feel understanding and superior? Now I get it.
So called ‘land acknowledgments’ do three things:
1. Seek to discredit the legitimacy of the government.
2. inspire racism and divisiveness.
3. Ignore reality: At times war is used to conquer or protect your homeland.
The strong survive. All countries today must be prepared to fight for their land or accept that they could be easily (and likely violently) conquered. It is what it is.
It’s a controversy in ALL sport in Australia. We hear of this at Supercars (Bathurst), footy final (MCG), and other events across the nation.
Watched it. She’s old and ugly. Didn’t look any more native than our own Pocahontas Warren.
Hell, I'd even accept a verified copy of the original.
In the original aboriginal language.
As long as the ink is dry, of course.
It serves the same purpose as renaming Lake Superior. It pushes buttons but that’s all.
Toilet stall bathroom humor:
“In the case of the crabs flick the ashes from a lighted cigarette and rub them into the affected area. It won’t cure the crabs but it sure feels good!”
What’s the difference?
Canada is big on it, too.
And it’s creeping here, as well.
Was a huuuuuge NFL fan until Krapernick stuck his Colon in our faces.

No politics at FB games.

She looks 99% White. Barely any indigenous blood at all.
