Australia’s first ever NFL game began with a land acknowledgment. This is insane. Australia also has a national sorry day where the country apologizes to the aborigines every year. If you think the US can’t get crazier, it can.

Roughly 45% of Australians know this is all batshit insane and agree with all of you commenting how absurd and ridiculous this is, but they have lost the culture battles in their country. And it’s hard to win ground back once you give it up. Fight for sanity!

By the way, loved my visit to the country. Great place filled with many amazing people. But no one should ever apologize for western civilization making the world better for everyone. Western civilization is the reason most of us are alive today.

They all look the same, even in other countries.

For the Americans reading this, this 'ancient ceremony' was invented 50 years ago. There are no words in any of the 200 Aboriginal languages for 'Welcome to Country Ceremony'. It is only referred to in English words. Ipso facto, if there were no words for it prior to colonisation, it didn't exist.

I’m sorry I stole your land. So you’re going to give it back to us? Nope

The founder of Melbourne, John Batman, made a trade with the Aborigines. Rum and blankets for their land. When they woke up hungover the next morning, he slaughtered them. Apologies are pretty low key by comparison.

At what point should people stop apologizing for things they had nothing to do with? My ancestors were slaves in ancient Rome. Should Italy apologize to me today?

It doesn’t cost anything, Clay. It’s just a gesture to acknowledge the cards were stacked against them.

Then why doesn’t everyone do the gesture then? Should humanity apologize to the Neanderthals for stealing their lands? And when does the gesture end? In the year 3000 will Australia still apologize for the 1780’s? Once you start the ritual apology how do you end it?

When the All Blacks play, the players do the Haka, even the white players, out of respect for the culture and traditions of the Maori. Why should it end?

Australia used to be have almost mythic status in American culture. Everything about Australia was cool in the 80's. Think 'Crocodile Dundee ' movies and songs by Men at Work. Australia fell in 1996 when they had their first National Gun Buy Back. That was the turning point.

Holy fucking cucked. Aknowldge the aborigines would still be living in mud huts, eating bugs, and enjoying incest, if not for the white man's arrival. Thank the white man. Get on with your lives. I mean the British sent their drunkest, worst whites, and they still turned it into a comparative utopia.

I’m surprised they even played the Australian national anthem given that the most prominent cricket league refused to play it for the most important match of the year because some consider the anthem “offensive.”

You should see how much the Australian taxpayers are forced to fork out for this embarrassing display of division.

I lived there for 6 years and they have done the land acknowledgements for decades, same in NZ. The settlers were brutal to the aborigines and Māori. I’m a conservative and agree with most things you say, but if you don’t know much about why they do it there maybe don’t comment.

Was just there in Feb-26. Everything you go to in a public setting there starts with this religious mantra. The Sydney bridge climb tour does too, and then at the top they have the flag of the natives next to the Aussie flag—which is hilarious because who built the bridge?!

This is a Welcome to Country. White people will have 200 yrs of history in a place and will worship a piece of cloth and a song like its a god. Then sook about a 2 minute welcome from an Indigenous People with 60,000 years of connection to this land. Numbnuts.

They do this before all of their major sporting events in Australia. They’ve completely bowed down to the woke agenda and given aboriginal groups a lot of power. It’s a major warning for the United States.

imagine centuries after being conquered your conquerors make sure to begin their sporting events reminding you that you no longer own the land the sport is being played on.

Love the "acknowledgements" but what really cracks me up is THERE’S NO WAY THESE GROVELER'S HAVE ANY INTENTION of giving any land back to the Indigenous people.

2 points Americans should be aware of ... 1) If Americans are wondering "Where the fuck is Naarm?" It's the "blaktivists" attempt at forcefully trying to rename Melbourne. Aborigines are nomads. They don't name specific places. 2) "Land acknowledgment" & "welcome to country" (WTC) are BS ritual humiliation ceremonies, in a piss poor attempt to shame "whitey" for existing. WTC is a totally made up "skit" by Ernie Dingo in the 1970's for a TV program or film. The socialist government of Australia supports this crap, because it's part of destroying Australian culture. Most of the Labor politicians are Fabians. Current PM is a Fabian & a Socialist. The Aborigines & "blaktivists" are nothing but "useful idiots" in pushing the Socialist agenda in Australia. We voted "No" to changing the Constitution which would have made the "blaktivists" the ruling class. The government just ignored the will of the people & are still pushing this shit as if it's legitimate. At the end of the day, the "blaktivists" didn't create the land. God did. So God is the "traditional owner". The "blaktivists" trade on guilt & grift. They get BILLIONS of tax payer $'s. The Aboriginals living out of the cities get nothing. They still live in squalor.

Absolute garbage... as covid showed Australians have lost their fighting spirit and accept BS. Below is an original aboriginal, the modern day one's are a different mix. Hopefully in the future Australians won't have this garbage forced upon us.
