This @NRL Women In League Round we will wear a jersey with the number 603 which represents the number of registered female referees across the country. We would like to thank each one of them for being involved in the game and hope this number continues to grow #WomenInLeague

The racist comments in response to articles about the anthem not being played before a game of sport proves why high profile organizations such as the @NRL need to take these kinds of steps.

Rape “jokes” are not funny. This includes “jokes” about someone being raped in jail. Perpetrators deserve to be locked up (for a long time), but making light of being raped takes away from what is a very real issue, and can be triggering for survivors.

It is important to remember that the correct term is “child abuse material” (or images) and not “child pornography”. Children cannot consent to sexual images being taken or shared. Pornography is sex work, and sex work is real work.

To say that womens sport only deserves the amount of money that the sport currently brings in is naive, and ignores the historical reasons which have created the gap between mens and womens sport (thread below).

@LadiesWhoLeague An offside player can’t come within 10m of a player waiting for the ball, but can be deemed as “passive” if they “do not influence the course of the game”, so that allows for discretion to be applied.

In the “Who is the GOAT of GOATs” debate, I am convinced that three categories are required 1. Team sport 2. Individual athlete 3. Olympian. Trying to lump them all into one category is like comparing a great actor/singer/painter just because they’re all artists.
