2025 Membership - One Richmond

Is there any truth to media reports that the RFC didn’t wish their members a happy Christmas due to virtue signalling?

I didn't notice and honestly wgaf

I love my footy but seriously it's cricket season and all I really wanna hear from the club is...crickets... Because they're either training the house down or have picked up an injury lmao.

Not sure about the virtue signalling but yes on twitter now X, they didn't say Merry Xmas,

Their post said "Wishing everyone a safe and happy time 🎄💛"

They've certainly copped criticism for it

It looks even worse that the Twitter account celebrated and named Ramadan.

It's not the space for it, but I don't understand why it would offend anyone. I don't blink an eye lid at Ramadan or Honoka or any other cultures holidays. Id have thought we just acknowledge them all if we wanted to be politically correct..

How cute of you

We are meant to believe in everything that’s a minority

Ramadan, Honoka = perfect

Christmas is most clearly not the way in PC correct Australia

Just remember .. Black Lives Matter .. white lives aren’t worth a pinch of goat poo

Growing up in Australia in the 70's & 80's, I always enjoyed going with the family to cultural events  like the Italian festival in lygon street or the one that used to be held in Clayton, or Chinese new year celebrations or the Greek antipodes festival, the Asian food festival, the South American Latin festival etc etc. those were the days when as families we had time on weekends to go see and taste food from other cultures.

I get to meet people all different cultures every day and I've yet to meet a Hindu or Muslim family that wasn't excited generally excited about Christmas even though it's not a traditional celebration for them.

Last year 2 days before Christmas I was driving through Toorak and south Yarra and not one Christmas decoration to be found anywhere in the streets. I was perplexed.

I went to a house there and the owner said shop owners were only allowed to write "Happy Merry" on their shops fronts because the council didn't want to offend the Muslims in the area by having the word "Christmas" used.

I have met Muslim families all over the place, I still haven't found one Muslim person who is offended by Christmas and I don't know anyone who is Christian offended by Ramadan celebrations.

Is our club really this stupid? 

To be truly "tolerant" you must include all people and their celebrations.

Celebrate and acknowledge all or don't celebrate any!

Seems to be slowing down a lot which is a shame.

You'd think with our draft haul we'd still have a strong membership number.
