This thread reminds of the Tanya Arnold one - another example of the willingness of some individuals to be offended on others behalf.
Have any BME players complained? I doubt it - racism does not appear to be an issue in RL.

| I'm not sure the OP was crying 'racism'. I'm also sure that there was no intent by the RFL or the Superleague clubs to puposefully go for an all white cast of players.
I'd like to point out that the RFL have missed an opportunity to bring in more female/gay fans by not using some of the better looking players. You want to see the publicity that the 'David Beckham in his undies' campaign for H&M is getting over here. Some of the faces on that truck would put most people off!  |

By your own argument 'non white' is actually accurate. It just describes everyone though..
Meanwhile, in the real world where pretty much everyone knows what 'white' looks like (although I'm still waiting for someone to define exactly where skin tones stop being white), 'non white' pretty much includes everyone else - Oriental skin tone is non white as is darkest African and Indian.
That's why. |

Fair comment,but as I say ,for instance snow is white,and I have yet to see a person that colour.I don`t know about anybody else but when I am watching a game I don`t even particularly notice what colour the player is. |

No doubt a 'Solomona in his undies  ' campaign would be atleast if not more popular

It wasn't so much an invention as a way our society has evolved slowly in the wrong direction. |

Fat blokes in the mud, flat caps, bogs that drain pi55 directly onto your boots - Now it's all 'Big Ask', 'Arm Wrestle', 'Collision' 'Contact' 'Facials' 'Upper Body Strength' 'Big Units' 'Scooting from Dummy Half' 'Energy Levels' 'Laying the Platform' ‘Middles’ and 'T-R-Y'. Let’s not forget resilience.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_32137.jpg |

Spot on. Not that I watch it but when i have seen a trailer or clip it seems to have 'one of each' in the show. You name the minority and they are in it |

We're so racist us RL lot, that Hanley bloke, rubbish. That Clive Sullivan chap, he'll never be a captain, wrong colour you know.
All these black lads in RL must hate the crowds throwing adulation at them instead of bananas.
My nomination for stupidest thread 2012

Stupid, idiotic thread, with bad grammar to boot. Look for something to be offended by and you will find it.
With the problems wendyball is having at the moment with this problem Rugby League should be proud of it's record in this matter. |
