What's up with those g*y goal signalers?

Question

Why do they signal the goals so queerly?

Answer 1

I think you'll find no one cares what some stupid American thinks about our national game.

Answer 2

The umpires signal that way because it is part of the Laws of the Game. Whether it looks effeminate to you is , to coin a legal term, a complete 'non sequitir'. If you have any misgivings about the masculinity of Aussie Rules or those associated with it- particularly the players- I suggest you do a little research, this is obviously NOT a game for those who are effiminate, or homosexually oriented to be politically correct.

Answer 3

goal umpires?? Who knows, it's just how they are trained to do it. It's all just random signs like in cricket out is one finger in the air. I wonder who thinks of the stupid signals

Most of them are probably from victoria not Perth or even Sydney.

Answer 4

Ditto Insighthere!!

Answer 5

they come from sydney and perth

Answer 6

Nothing g*y about goal umpires. They are just doing their job. Wake up and pay attention to the footy and you wouldn't think it was g*y. Maybe you are into rugby, go back to the bum sniffers (as Jim Main of the AFL Record used to call rugby players). Leave footy along, what do you want, a touchdown signal like here in American football?

Answer 7

It's just the way every goal umpire does it. Nothing q***r about that.
