For the life of me, I don’t know why, in our hearts, we would say no to such an elegant and simple proposition.

I wanted to share some of my thoughts on today's Supreme Court decision on affirmative action:

Mustafa Amini on the AIS via FPF:

"The AIS was one of the most important parts of my career; it was great. We went to school and we trained every day like pros. We had gym in the morning and learned about nutrition and training every day with the best players in Australia."

The Uluru Statement was presented to the people of Australia. It’s important to remember, this isn’t the Govt’s referendum, this isn’t the PM’s Voice. It’s an invitation to every Australian, a chance to start a new respectful chapter. ♥️💛🖤 Vote #yes23 #historyiscalling #auspol

A politician who championed the voice of the most oppressed.

If you want to know why he keeps winning elections. You need to accept the reality that a majority of voters want empathy and compassion from their political leaders. Not nastiness and hate.

[Thomas Mayo @thomasmayo23]

Dutton has set Australia on course to a historic first: a referendum won without bi-partisan support.

Let’s make history together. Let’s work hard to bring other Australians with us, and win!

The last Olyroos squad had one player from Melbourne (Bos). The last U20s squad had 3 (Bozinovski, Caputo, Menelaou). The last U17s squad had 5, but only 2 played minutes (Antoniou, Dovison). Melbourne makes up 20% of Australia’s population - so this is clear underrepresentation.

[AussieScout @scout_aussie]

It’s clear that Melbourne isn’t anti-football. But this tweet does raise an interesting question about Melbourne’s failure to develop top players of late. Melbourne is significantly underrepresented in all of Australia’s youth national teams. Why is this?

[AussieScout @scout_aussie]

Would be really interested to hear from some experts on football in Melbourne on why they think this is the case.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Pelé was one of the greatest to ever play the beautiful game. And as one of the most recognizable athletes in the world, he understood the power of sports to bring people together. Our thoughts are with his family and everyone who loved and admired him.

[AussieScout @scout_aussie]

@MrBadaBing71 That's a question for Victory's academy program. All the Melbourne kids in national team squads have come through the City academy. Melbourne Victory are not poorly represented, they're simply *not* represented.
