[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 983175, member: 40658"] Man, I find it very hard to respond here without being harsh or abusive. It's just becoming an endless cycle of one person's defiance in whatever is being said is just not acceptable to him, while every other poster on this forum, regardless of their nationality/ethnicity are in consensus as to what is going on. The nit-picking of certian issues or phrases or posts is astounding. And the total disregard to look at the issue in totality boggles my mind. This part specifically is something that stood out for me: Can't you see that point (i), (ii), and (iii) are all interlinked with one another?? You can't separate them from each other and look at them as a point of contention individually. Again, you are missing the point. And this remark here, shows again that narrow line you keep on using to think about this issue. Those who want transformation, doesn't participate in sport, no matter what the sport is. For them it's all about scoring political points. The report from the IRR is exactly the point we are trying to make. The people who participated in the report, are your average citizen. Not someone in government, or working as an administrator for the sporting codes. Just a normal citizen, and they vary in their education, wealth, residence, ethnicity, religion, gender, etc. The majority of South Africans, not ANC-party members, doesn't want transformation in sport, and even less so the idea of a quota system where transformation is "forced".
