Siya Kolisi, steering attention of Springbok fans in the direction of political campaigns like "Gender-Based Violence"....

Proteas / Bavuma also spoke up think most major sport starts / teams did.

Steering attention? Do you understand how news outlets work? They ask questions and edit the end result. Maybe he was just asked about this and answered. Tinfoil hat nonsense.

They only care about clicks and sensationalism. Finding decent non biast / politicals news is diffuclt these days. Currencynews (Finanical mail) is decent but its mainly finance focused

Ja that's why I find it odd that someone has an issue this as though it's the Boks (Siya) with an agenda rather than news agencies.

Sports organizations and individuals do take up social campaigns all the time.

Except when it comes to Olympic swimmers who don't feel safe using their international platform to speak out against abuse by the sports administrators.

And how is thst a political campaign?

"Gender Based Violence" is a political campaign because it drives suspicion between men and women.

cue bono?

The State and its WMC policy-makers benefit from this because it artificially drives demand for government intervention into every nook and cranny into the private lives of individuals.

As though individuals were not should not be free to use social ostracism and economic boycott to fix the general problem of bad actors in society.

And ofc they aren't free. You need markets that are open to competition for those two elements to be effective.

Siya has a bit of a bleeding heart, so he's vulnerable to parasites who will look to use him for their own political agenda.

I know. It's terrible that he's speaking out against violence.
 
Obviously Siya has been approached to talk about it.

Geez.... are you guys that naive?

Do you think he made his own decision to speak up about GBV??

Good lordie.

There's one born every second.

He's not speaking out against violence.

He's speaking out against male violence only.... and specifically against women... not against children in general and not against men.

Do you hear him calling out women for committing violence against their unborn children?

Please.....don't tell me it's not a political campaign.
