THE NRL has backed two female footballers from opposing teams captured locking lips in a kiss after the image sparked backlash by a handful of fans online.
A photo of women’s State of Origin players Karina Brown, who plays for Queensland, and Vanessa Foliaki, of New South Wales, was posted to the NRL’s social media accounts after the thrilling game came to a conclusion last night.
But it was Foliaki and Brown who stole the limelight, who have been in a relationship since they were selected to represent the Jillaroos in 2014.
The pair claims the rugby league family “wants us to get married” and that the “coaching staff are supportive. We’re feeling all the love”.
The image of the couple kissing was met with disdain from some fans, one who claimed it was a “bad move” by the NRL. The NRL responded with: “Welcome to 2018 … can’t wait for you to join us!”.
Another claimed the NRL was “already sexualising the women’s league” and that it was “one step forward three steps back”.
The NRL replied: “If we can post a of Cooper Cronk and his wife Tara kissing, then we can share a photo of Karina Brown and Ness Foliaki sharing a moment too.”
In the lead up to the game the couple told NRL.com they have spent their relationship “competing against each other on several occasions”.
The couple said the State of Origin would be “their biggest relationship challenge yet” and that their relationship “has never been an issue among their teammates and support staff”.
“Karina saw me across the room. We were drinking at the bar and she decided to shout everyone a drink, have a skolling competition and couldn’t beat me. I smashed her. It started from there,” Foliaki said.
The inaugural Women’s State of Origin has been hailed as the first step towards parity with the men’s game after NSW claimed a 16-10 victory over Queensland on Friday night.
John Mulaney, a man who is iconically known for loving his wife, after being told by Jerry Seinfeld that his wife only thinks shes good at something
Well done OP, you’ve managed to capture the moment John’s spirit left his body
Jerry’s lucky that John is too polite to throw hands
Okay but I just went and watched this for myself and it’s WORSE
He’s. So uncomfortable. It’s obvious. I cut out the part where John kind of muttered, “That is true, isn’t it” about how all men think they’re funny, but his face is just screwed up in this ‘oh god what have i done what have i signed up for this is not good and this will probably go into my next comedy special of awkwardness’
Just watched this omg bless john bc jerry just keeps trying to do some “take my wife” bullshit and john very politely goes no, no.
proud of John for restraining himself from murdering a man on camera
What’s so horrifying about this to me is that this is literally Jerry Seinfeld trying to teach John Mulaney how to gaslight his wife.
Look at that dialogue. “She thinks she knows.” He’s trying to get Mulaney to see his wife’s expertise as instead a weird misperception. He’s coaching him to undercut his wife’s confidence in the truth and her own abilities.
And Mulaney replies exactly the right way: “She does know.” He asserts not only that she’s perceiving the world accurately, but that she is an expert at something he’s not good at.
Dudes, don’t take this shit from other dudes. Mulaney isn’t by any means perfect but he aced this. Stand for the truth. Defend women’s objectivity. Promote women’s expertise.
Doesnt his wife also work with antiques too?like. Isnt that part of her actual job?
I reblog this every time because I don’t think people understand that Anna is literally an interior designer. She makes absolutely stunning Victorian Lampshades. Which she designs.. for the interior of a home… she’s literally an interior designer. She doesn’t think she’s good at it, she knows she’s good at it because it’s her fucking job
You are the Chosen One. Or, at least you were. After centuries in a fantasy world where you fought many battles, suffered many injuries, romanced and married many, watched your kingdom rise and fall and then rise again a dozen times, you were transported back to your teenage body in the normal world, where you have to deal with puberty, PTSD for life altering injuries you no longer have, and not being able to legally drink for several years. A few times a week, you go to a group therapy session full of other former Chosen Ones to complain about how trying to live in the normal world sucks. Describe one of those sessions.
