Shoutout to brothaboy Damien Hooper who has been shot down for wearing a shirt with the Aboriginal flag on it before his fight. If he wore the Australian flag he wouldnt have faced any of this controversy but because he wore the Aboriginal flag he has breached Rule 50 of the Olympic Code which bans demonstrations, or political, religious or racial propoganda on any Olympic sites.
WHAT A CROCK OF SHIT!! This was an act of Pride - not propoganda! My hope is that one day we will be respectfully acknowledged as the First Nations people of this country and therefore properly represented in all that this country is involved in
You said it sista

Anyone want to tumblr-bomb the Herald Sun’s poll on whether or not he should be able to wear Aboriginal flag? Right now the NOs have it. Let’s YES it up.
I just can’t believe this was an issue. Okay, well, I mean I can, but I’m still disgusted.
Are you fucking serious, Australia? What the hell. “Post-racial community” my ass.
