Cosatu slams Matfield's cap

[Chris14]

Cosatu says "This is because the coach is scared that the black players will outshine the white players, if they get lots of game time.
Even when players go off for injury, they are rushed back on because the black replacements may shine" - What rubbish is this?

It was in response to an obvious question.

lol

Of course it was.
We're both being obviaaas for obviaas sake.

Typical Cosatu rubbish pretty much.. so just ignore it.

The Bafana manager/coach does not CONTROL football in SA. Who owns Chiefs, Pirates, Swallows, Sundowns, Cosmos, etc.? Who sits on the board of SAFA?

At my last count, 7 PSL clubs had white owners. The SAFA development CEO is also white.

1 white member on a 15 person board. I would only count 14, as Khoza is there as PSL chairman. Still 1 in 14 is not too far off the white population of SA.

How many indians and coloureds ?

 

[Paul Hjul]

SARFU and SAFA though aren't the coach (who they appoint) or teams. The ****ing politicians don't understand that organization politics seldom have anything to do with external broader political horse****

Is COSATU seriously suggesting that Matfield by wearing a Blue Bulls issued scrum cap is racist? Are they seriously ignoring the visible joy on Heyneke Meyer's face when a black player succeeds?

Unlike Soccer, Rugby in SA was developed by competent and passionate people, a lot of them retired players. If there are highly skilled black players and they play on club level, Currie Beker, Super Rugby or even at varsity level they will be found.

For instance Cecil Afrika, although his more into sevens Rugby and he keeps getting injured.

Anyone can put a team together to be politically correct and ranked almost last in the world.

 

[Vrotappel]

The inane focus on rugby does not make sense. It has accomplished more than any other sport in SA.

Why no focus on the national embarrassment that is called bafana bafana?

In the minds of Cosatu and other rugby is a 'white' sport and the constant interfering in rugby is simply a way of sticking it to the white man.

 

[daveza]

How many black swimmers in the national squad ?

 

[Sneeky]

I just want to know who in Cosatu actually vomited up this statement.
A name please!

Does it matter? BlubberBelula is more interested on throwing parties than support sport.
In true SA style instead of fixing it from the bottom up, they will force rugby to start from the top. And we will end up like soccer?

We didn't even qualify for our own World Cup and had to "fix" things to make it look like soccer in SA is worth anything.


If there were so many talented rugby players out there why not invest in the curry cup? Why is the stadium in Witbank in horrible shape? What happened to Cruywen week?(sp?)

Why doesn't black schools j
Have decent rugby fields with little bulletjie rugby.


Get your head out of your arse. That is what scrum caps look like.

Stop pointing fingers at race and admit who is screwing up.

They are also responsible for the total embarrassment that is our soccer team?

I think it was Tony from the WC.

He is just angry because Matfield is wearing a reminder of his association with the Blue Bulls who aren't as bad as Province

 

[Paul Hjul]

You caused some commotion in the office with that - it got me laughing out loud while we are dealing with something pesky.
It is spot on though

Watch it now...

Tony is a Cape Crusader.
