Discuss your thoughts with your parents. Then answer the following question. You should explain your ideas clearly.
After listening to 'The Name of the Game', by David Hill in class, Would you see yourself as pro tour, anti tour or just sitting on the fence? Explain your answer!
I'd be just sitting on the fence, thowing eggs into the crowd of protesters like my father did.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a very big rugby fan, but my father was.
I don't think politics has any place in sport.

im a protour because i think its stupid how people are making them swim, use different toilets and it doesnt matter if they verse white people in rugby. As most people i dont agree with racsim but dont think sport should be envolved.

ReplyDeleteI am pro tour because I think that it doesn't matter what skin colour you have to play a game of rugby. Rugby is meant to be a fun game where you don't need to worry about everything and just play. I understand that apartheid was happening in South Africa but like I said before, it's a game of rugby so just relax and have a good game! I think that politics should be kept out of sports!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am PRO TOUR because people are people and who cares what colour skin they have we're all humans.
ReplyDeleteRugby is a game and it's not about racsim.
Black people don't have to use different toilets and pools it's just not fair!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am definitely going for pro tour
ReplyDeletebecause like Sarah says 'it doesn't matter what color you are'
I mean just imagine if you were black and no one was letting you play.
How would you feel?
Especially when you haven't done anything wrong...
that is what I think.
So go PRO TOUR!

ReplyDeletePRO TOUR!!!
ITS THE GOVERMENTS DOING DICRIMNATING PEOPLE OVER THEIR SKIN COLOUR!.
WE SHOULDNT PUNISH THE SOUTH AFRICAN RUGBY TEAM FOR WHAT THE GOVERNMENT ISD ENFORCING!!
i think it was a good idea to let the tour go on. the players on the team were punished for something there goverment had done and that was not fair. A lot of the players on the South African team were against racism but just wanted to play the game they loved. honestly in my opinion it was a good idea to let the tour go on
ReplyDeleteI would be sitting on the fence because I dont like what the goverment is doing to the black people and how they treat them so horibly but I also dont like how they are blaming it on the rugby players.

ReplyDeleteAnti Tour!
The goverment in south africa is disgusting. If they get the message that we dont't want their rugby team, then maybe the will stop and think about how they are treating black people. It's wrong and unfair!!!!!!!!
I'm a fence sitter because I hate the idea of apartheid and how black people are discriminated for their skin colour but since I am a rugby fan I would of liked to see the tour go on.
ReplyDeleteI would be anti-tour because I think racism and apartheid is awful because people are people no matter what skin colour they have. But I also believe Politics shouldn't be mixed with sport because it is not fair on the South African rugby team.

ReplyDeleteI am anti tour because I think black and white people should be separated by the government. The colour of your skin does not matter, you should be able to make your own decisions.
I would be anti tour because aparthied is horibble and mean. Being black or white shouldnt matter because we all have the same feelings!! our skin is the same just different colours.
ReplyDeletegeorgie :)
I would be siting on the bench because as much as I love rugby and surport it I think apartide is stupied and make no sens I say let the rugby go on and let the blacks play to besides rugby is the best game ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteRYAN!!!
I would be sitting on the fence because rugby is new Zealands national sport but I don't think apartheid is really stupid black people have the same amount right as us. Even though I like rugby I hope that the South Africa changes there ways.

I would be anti tour because I believe that is completely unfair to separate humans from each other due only to their skin colour but I would not go on protest marches and would watch the rugby games on the television.

ReplyDeleteI am pro-tour because I think that it's not fair to stop the tour when it's the government fault with apartheid by Rhys
