Is it just me but is the netball coverage (sound wise) at #commgames26 a bit shit?

[James One 😷 @james00000001]

From Facebook:
Nobody blamed John Howard for the Port Arthur massacre.

No one blamed Tony Abbott for the Lindt Cafe siege.

No one should blame Anthony Albanese for the #bondimassacre

@edwina_b shout out to the amazing work you are doing on breakfast television. While I am on hols, it been lovely to get to know you lately! You are authentic and professional. Great connection down the barrel! HNY to you 😀🎉

@AussieDiamonds Where is the intensity, the fighting for every ball… after 120mins of international netball we seemed surprised the NZ team contested every pass… we need to unleash the ‘mongrel’!!

Women love sex every bit as much as men. The problems arise when you make them your mother. Having to clean your skids, remind you to wash, trim, brush, book the dentist etc is a total passion killer. Be the grown up they met, do your fair share without asking and it'll happen.

@AmyRemeikis Just so disappointed in my country and the dumb racist, white privileged “debate” causing harm to an already disadvantaged section of our community. If the Voice leads to #treaty will the world end? Like it did when we achieved marriage equality? #duttonwhiteprivilege

[Amy Remeikis @AmyRemeikis]

It’s been said before and much more eloquently but it remains the case that it’s somehow worse for someone to call out racism in this country, or state that it exists, than it is to be racist.

@QPAC So sorry some dickhead decided to show the red neck side of Queensland…

[David Armstrong @bigjazzyd]

@QPAC the racist who heckled (it was actually a shout down!!) the welcome to country should have been kicked out. #shame #disrespectfulbrisbane #backwater

This is a cool ad I saw at the gym

@LucyZelic Agreed, but not her best game tonight. Looked tired. It’s been a long tournament. Surprised she stayed on the whole game. She is brilliant, but Sweden were stronger… how tough is Caitlin Foord!!

[MFWitches @MFWitches]

England is a country where soccer is their national sport. Millions play it, and they inject hundreds of millions of dollars into funding it. They’re obsessed with it.

Australia puts most sports funding into other games and although lots of kids play soccer, the game has nowhere near the attention, numbers of players or relentless support here it gets in Europe.

Our #Matildas were regularly playing to just a couple of hundred people until very recently. Their pay and conditions were close to pitiful until just a few short years ago. Many of them played for boy’s teams growing up, or had to move states or even continents just to get the game time they needed to excel. They did it HARD.

And as we’ve said a few days ago, they’ve also faced extraordinary misogyny, ridicule and barriers to success, just for being female.

Yet this women’s team have made history by getting to the final four in a tournament fought by nations where soccer is the reason a lot of them get up in the morning.

The Matildas haven’t failed: they’ve won. They’ve won our hearts and minds and changed sport - especially women’s sport - in this country forever.

They should all be so proud, and we should all be so proud of them.

Now it’s our collective responsibility to force our media to value women’s sport and our governments to fund it properly. We must hold their feet to the fire on behalf of all the little girls who deserve their chance to shine.

Thank you, Tillies.

You’re the fucking best, and you did us all proud. It’s been so much fun watching you play.

Good luck in your final #FIFAWomensWorldCup match.

@waitbutwhy Reminds me of this @Calvinn_Hobbes comic.

Chances are your partner already feels pretty bad for the incident. They need your support not your anger.
