I wasn't going to bother writing about the Rugby World Cup, but as someone over at Counter Currents has covered it without addressing the real issue, I thought I'd chip in with a short article. As someone who actually played the sport back in the 1990s, I feel I'm a little more qualified than many to comment on how the game has been transformed. When I first started playing at adult level, the whole of rugby union was amateur, ruthlessly so. Anyone who had been paid to play professional rugby league was not permitted to play union and a declaration had to be signed. Most at the rugby club I played for openly displayed their disdain for homosexuals and persons of colour. This was the norm and rightly so. Fast forward a mere twenty years and these normal and natural attitudes have been stamped out - at least superficially. But Nature will always seek to reassert herself and such attitudes will become the norm again as soon as the establishment propaganda machine and means of legal coercion are removed. Equally, national attitudes have also changed, which brings me back to the World Cup.
