Apartheid was an invidious, evil policy. Do you think this affirmative action style quota system is just? I don't, it's rediculious to force sporting teams to field players based on a racial quota.

Re: TRANSFER RUMOURS!!
So Charlie Chaplain knows and spilled the beans? Is he still on the staff then or do delusionists get the by-ball? How will he put in his days monday to saturday now?BaggyTrousers wrote:Anyway, as I said, I had lunch with a bloke this week who swears that Fit told the chaplain that we have signed a big Saffer back row who accepts Jaysus as his saviour and guiding light. Then again, every rugby player in the SH appears to be a deluded mentalist.
Who is out of contract in SA? Any I've looked at are contracted in the Super rugby for this year AND next.
We'd need a fat wallet to buy guys out, any word on the Rates bill?

Quota system is just apartied in new clothes, i fear for South Africa,l ... Love the place. It could go seriously mammaries up sooo quickly. Talk to people who live there and forget the propaganda black or white spin from afar. Incredible place, the inmates have taken over from the last inmates who run the asylum.

Re: TRANSFER RUMOURS!!
Yes I think a quota system is fair enough in redressing the balance, the sole caveat being that I don't know it's content so no idea if it is proportionate or reasonable. Coming from a situation where whites were catered for to the exclusion of all else I've no big issue with a degree of corrective action, just as I had no problem with Unionist gerrymandering being redressed or action taken by labour to increase female representation.Snipe Watson wrote:I take it you fully approve of this quota system then?BaggyTrousers wrote:G'wan ya feckin' cracker supremacist.Snipe Watson wrote:No I don't.BaggyTrousers wrote:You don't think that's just a little ludicrous given what apartheid did?Snipe Watson wrote:Saffers r us.

The obvious issue is that there is obviously no argument to be made that white people are somehow genetically more adapted to rugby, so if a lowering of standards occurs it should be short term & given the racial make up of that society, it isn't unreasonable to say that when you open up the game to much higher numbers in the society, then a upturn in talent should come through in time.
Finally, no it most certainly isn't ridiculous, your statement is absolutely ridiculous as you seek an answer within the narrow confines of what is currently there and as I have already said, long term standards should increase, always assuming it is done in a relatively considered way & not throwing the baby out with the bath water. There is more to life than rugby my friend.
There you go, answered and quite fully if I may say.

If you could rely on some of the Warren Gatland that ran sport in SA to implement selection on merit post apartheid then it would not have been necessary.
