Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3156607, member: 9853"] So I'll go one further against the concept of "diversity" and say it might sound utopian but it's the exact opposite of what I want from a sporting team. I want to feel part of a tribe. I like to see a glue that binds. That's why Origin is so fun. It's why clubs can retain a fanbase through years of shit. They feel like they're in it together. The Storm is the best example of a team that hires purely on merit. And sure, it's successful as all hell, but is it a tribe? Maybe it is, but I'm fucked if I know who their fans are. The Big Bash is an example of a bunch of mercenaries with zero ties to their brand. I'd rather a Broncos team that's mostly QLDers, and those who aren't from QLD, kind of become honorary QLDers regardless. Like Lazarus and Johns. Most of these kids we're calling "Polynesian" these days are raised in QLD, so it's not like they're being excluded. We officially hit rock bottom when our best candidate for captain has a Kiwi accent. But I'll give him a free pass as an honorary QLDer. [/QUOTE]
