Discussion AFL International Cup 2017 Guernseys

Anyone go to any of the games today ??

I want to go to the India v Pakistan game on Friday, but I'm busy. And it's in Bendigo

I would have gone to all of today's games but I've got my own match and it's finals :/

Interesting uniform choice by Pakistan's women's team.
Short sleeve over long sleeve (with a collar) and 3 quarter pants.

Is that due to their culture/religion?

I don't know but I assume so. Having just regular long sleeve jumpers would make more sense though.
And tights could just be worn under their shorts.

A few players seemed to do that.

 

[Barrybran]

They look like softball uniforms

 

[Grandsun]

If they are going to play aussie rules then the should be forced to wear afl jumpers and shorts

Yeah but their culture.

Treading on a fine line mate.

go to bed, seriously.

 

[Fizzler]

bad luck

No, not bad luck. It's bad luck for you, in fact. Their culture would mean a lot to them and they will follow their religion regardless of what the tradition of a niche sport played professionally in one country half a world away is.

correct me if im wrong- a long sleave jumper is an afl jumper?

So is a short sleeve jumper, Geelong and Hawthorn have both worn it in pre season comps.

have they??? answer is no

 

[fancyscum]

have they??? answer is no

Yes actually, the answer is yes.

 

[Bryce_Jersey17]

have they??? answer is no

Mate. They have. Geelong this year and Hawthorn had the infamous one that there's literally a competition about running now

 

[Bryce_Jersey17]

And even then, it shouldn't matter. We just had Multicultural Round- all about the inclusiveness of other cultures in the AFL. Sleeves are the result of their culture, hence the inclusiveness. Or didn't you listen in year 5 and 6?

With all due respect, are you all there in the head?

Some some respect & cultural sensitivity - I hardly see how the Pakistani team wearing what they're wearing has any effect on you whatsoever.

I'm not sure he's even in Year 5 or 6 yet, my man.

Because we need to fight back against AFL CEO and SJW snowflake Gillon McLachlan.

Fair point. Figured I'd ask, that's what I'm teaching at the moment after all

Long sleeve jumper, shorts and tights would certainly be more aesthetically pleasing, but sacrifing the sacred customs of the Islamic religion probably isn't worth wearing traditional AFL gear for the players of the Pakistan team, and rightly so. Those who play aussie rules shouldn't be restricted by the traditional western dress codes.

 

[akkaps]

Islam is a very complex religion, you have epdifferent types of the religion (Sunni, Shias, etc), and they all have different forms of customs. Not all Muslim women wear a burqa or hijab. It just depends on how you were raised and the values you have.
