2020 membership - "We're from Tigerland"

[mightytiges]

People are all different and are members for a whole host of different reasons. No one is judging. However, we have never ever got individualised designed membership cards and it's unrealistic these days with over 100k members. 

The Club sees itself though as many teams (including now two AFL ones) but still the one club. The membership card is just reflecting the Club in 2020 as it has done in any previous year. Not an issue from my p.o.v.

You don’t get it or me
I pay to watch the men okay and the men only
Wish them all the best and good luck to them, but it’s not
why I’m a member
Love the way you try and twist it NOT

Twist what exactly???

I asked you a simple question which you've partially answered in a very aggressive manner.

Regarding women's footy I get that you have no time, interest, respect for it in any way shape or form. That is your choice

I've got that right haven't I? I don't think I am twisting anything saying that

You have made that very clear many times in a number of threads that you want nothing to do with women's footy.

I get you don't have to like it, no one is asking you to like it, watch it or care about it.

But you are clearly aggrieved because the Club has made a decision to include 2 of our women players on this years membership cards and are making it sound like they've committed to horrendous crime and cheapened memberships in the process

The pictures being on the card make no difference to your membership and your ability to attend the games you want to attend.Do you think it is  somehow going lessen what your membership means to YOU?

I'd sincerely hope not but only you can answer that

You’re a bit stupid aren’t you
You twist it be asking if I Would be aggrieved if it was the men’s wheelchair team like I’m sexist or something and you know darn well that’s what you insinuated
And no it does make no difference to my love of the Tigers at all
If you would of learnt anything over the years you would of known that at least
That’s enough
Bye

Thanks for the insult, no need for it but whatever

Are you or are you not making a it massive deal about women being on the cards? Yes or No?

So isn't it fair to ask of you are angry because it is the women or would you be equally as angry of it was the wheelchair players or even the VFL guys? Fair question I would have thought

Is it that You don't want anyone else on the cards or is it that you dont want the women

Which is it?

Don't know how to break this to you cub but you made it about gender with your very first post.

Was it your intention? Probably not but that's what you did and now you are being ultra defensive about it going as far to fling a few insults when you're asked a simple question that you still haven't answered I might add

[Damo]

They wouldn’t and didn’t bother putting the VFL players on the card, and won’t ..

Australia as a country has gone PC stupid (can I still use the word stupid?) .. it’s all about keeping the PC sooks happy in some way , although they will still find plenty to sook about , so whatever

I think them being on the card is absolutely ridiculous, but at the same time it’s not something I’ll care about one iota ..

I’ll spend as much time watching the woman’s team as I will looking at my membership card, sweet diff all .. and no , I’m not some big anti woman’s footy bloke, as it happens I help at a junior club and my daughters love playing ..

The AFL loves being the face of PC Australia , and the RFC is no different

We have woman’s round
We have aboriginal round , which is now across two full rounds
We have multi cultural round
We have gay round

We basically cover everything except the white man

When are they going to have the white man round? Or don’t we need that one?

[Hard Roar Tiger]

I haven’t seen it but I like it. It’s a white mans game so the other rounds acknowledge that as an exception to the rule...

[Rampsation]

the womens team is a part of our club now so they have a right to be marketed equally and that's also about being on the membership cards. personally I think the womens league is a joke and embarrassing in terms of skill level and do I agree that rfc should be in it my answer is no but they are a part of the club and the club needs totry and make it a success

[rogerd3]

the current number highlights how many people are on the rolling tiger payment plan 

I'm not on the rolling plan.
And I know of many that aren't.

[Rampsation]

the rolling plan works great for the club and I have to admit its been convenient for me as a member. everyone wins especially the club

wait..who are the snowflakes? the ones bitching about birds being on the memberships or the ones not saying anything?  I am confused.  Personally I don't mind looking a bird rather than a hairy arsed bloke, you can call me a weirdo for that but hey, takes all kinds right?
