Hotheaded Luke

Luke Watson want to Puke on the Bok Jersey so what? Bhutana “shoot from the hip” Khompela is running a one man show to remove the Bok emblem from the Jersey so what?It is always interesting how some white people suddenly have love for the poor when their pride is at stake. When it sooth them they speak of reverse racism and don’t give a hoot about what life is like for a black chilled who is born with out a roof over his head. Try and talk name change or Bok emblem you will hear the likes if Cliff Saunders expressing their concern about the black poor and how money could be used to build houses other than to dismantle apartheid dominance. Luke Watson’s private conversation has been deliberately put in the public to vilify him. Read any Afrikaans newspaper on Watson then you will know what I am talking about. Majority of Afrikaners hate his family so is his politics.

Amongst whites there are known racists who are not apologetic about it yet you will never hear an Afrikaner newspaper exposing them. When a woman was assaulted by Racist Afrikaaners at Ellis Park Spectators mostly white look the other way, but if it were the opposite there would be a pandemonium. Some of the things that he said are uncalled for, but please he didn’t call a press conference to say them. Those were his private views on SARugby . These Guys go through tough times remember Jake White Castigating him and pretending to the media that all is well as he was treating him like a deadly virus. He rubbed that negative energy to player and went on to bragged about it in his biography. At least Luke didn’t wait until his carrier is over (it might be over already in national team colours) to speak his mind. Chester Williams didn’t want to upset his masters that He only spoke about the Bok experience when his carrier was over. Honestly I can’t wait for Makhaya Ntini’s Biography I am sure al dirty secrets will be exposed the 1999 Australian Tour, World Cup in West Indies. That will be a cracker.

I think most peeps dnt understand the emblem issue and end up making emotional decisions.Soccer,cricket,and all other sporting codes use protea emblem except the boks.Many peeps think removing the emblem is removing the name springboks,and they are wrong.It will still be called the boks,just that the emblem must change.It belongs to the apartheid era and was only left to unify peeps,now that we have unifed,its time for it to go.I support Luke in everything,he is a good player,his father stood against the emblem,and it must be bad for his father to see his son playing for something he stood against.The emblem must go.Rugby is not special...

This is what I have told my friends over and over that Springboks will remain Springboks Emblem or no Emblem. There are those who think that this emblem makes them superior to others,but can I play a devils advocate here. If you take alook at the Bafana Jersey you will see that there is King Protea on the left and SAFA emblem on the right. Will it be such a bad thing to do the same with the Springbok Emblem.
