Message: [QUOTE="Huge, post: 2529984, member: 1992"] Home from work and back in range ! Although I did not write as much I had understood his ploy to attract attention to his fights and I could see how you might have been hoodwinked into thinking this was his plan. Mundine was an arrogant egotist long long before his first fight. It was not a clever plan and ,he really is just a nice guy playing the role is not true. Mundine suffers/suffered from poor self esteem hence the big noting to hide his doubt. When he left Brisbane he was asked why, his answer was WB/the Broncos did not treat him as the special talent he was. He believed he deserved to be put on a pedestal. As for your belief that my comments about representing his people reflects a somewhat racist belief of my own I can only say I reject that outright. Mundine identifies as aboriginal as is his right but, he owes much much more to other races. He is only partially aboriginal and that part is a minority. By all means champion aboriginal causes but rights as enjoyed by all Australians ,aboriginals already have. The aboriginal community has the same rights as all others and it can be reasonably be argued they have greater rights. He very reasonably wants aboriginal people to be better off but unlike Ali he has never needed to fight for a right. [/QUOTE]
