Banning Exeter headdresses is virtue-signalling nonsense –
rugby's diversity issues are far more serious

I hope that comes out OK. Seems not to be behind the paywall to
me.

A committee has decided that common sense and respect for
individual preferences and interpretations isn’t sufficient and
has therefore tried to introduce a rule.
But because they don’t quite know what they’re talking about, or
whether to enforce it or not, they’ve abdicated responsibility
to Buffy the Blazer, who acted so decisively re Swing Low.
Expect to see a few feathers briefly ruffled prior to more
sensitive continuation.

I'm sorry but the phrase "Cotton pickin'" can no longer be used
due to its association with slavery.

It's all a crock of shite stirring by woke and snowflake
brigade.
I dont need figures to back it up as it's obvious to a half wit
that %99.9 of suporters dont care.
Would be more worried about people dressing up as catholic
church figures knowing their track records with youngsters.
As for Boris that plank needs to smarten himself up and stop
looking like he's just got out of bed (or someone elses) after a
night on the piss, plenty mens barbers around Westminster to
sort his scruffy barnet out.

Exeter’s Tony Rowe: ‘We’re not trying to belittle the image or

It's pretty clear that Native Americans have an issue. If they
have a problem with it, I'm ok with respecting that. Rugby is a
game for all, with respect at its core.

On any day on freeview, you can see a 1950s Hollywood western
depicting the United States Indigenous Peoples (Indians) as
dressed in war bonnet, making the woo-hoo-hoo sound, failing
completely when faced with the white man's culture and
discipline. Those movies are a caricature of the Indians far
more than what Exeter are doing, but I don't see anyone
complaining about how Hollywood portrays them historically.
That's where all the Tomahawk Chop and the War Bonnets and the
rest come from, old Hollywood movies - I seriously doubt any of
Exeter's fans actually went to the USA before deciding to be
"Chiefs". I suspect those insulting movies are a much bigger
insult to the Indian people than what? 7,000 odd Exeter
supporters in a far off country and a little bit of that at the
best?

With all due respect, if you're not seeing it, you're being
willfully blind.
It's not even new to complain about the racist portrayal of
native Americans in Hollywood. Rather famously, Marlon Brando
made a big deal out of it back in the 70s, declined an Academy
award for the godfather, and gave his speech time over to a
native American actor to talk about the way Hollywood portrayed
native Americans.
It is an absolute nonsense to say no one complains about it.
