[QUOTE="unrated, post: 1007425, member: 45773"] It's true [USER=40658]@TRF_heineken[/USER] there are transformation regulations. It's nothing new. They apply to everyone and if unions don't comply then the respective structures start making quarterly threats to the unions. The unions know about this and they must comply under the current regulations or risk expulsion or fines. If I was the CEO of a union I would comply, as it would be detrimental to my union for defying these orders. They can't be the social justice warriors. It's not the unions place to fight it. Rather It's the public's rejection of racist concepts that should filter through parliament in the long run to avoid such legislation even being passed. Race based Transformation at an elite sporting level is and will always be a racist concept and cannot be normalised just because we deal with this on a daily basis. If a genocidal dictator stays in power for long enough it does not give him or her legitimacy. There is due process that needs to be followed such as democratic ideals in a free society. If race based Transformation becomes accepted because it has become the norm then that is tantamount to a public just accepting a dictator because he stays in power for a long time therefore the democratic ideals become irrelevant and authoritarianism reigns supreme. If we accept race based Transformation at the top level as a compromise then our values change, this becomes a moral question. Should governments have hard rules to force their sport teams to always reflect their demographics in a proportional representation system? Should France put a 85% white quota in their football team because it's not representative of their demographics? No Absolutely not in my opinion. It's a moral issue in support of non-racialism. If you support top level race based Transformation because of rapidly changed public sentiment and media pusing the same ideals for their own benefit then you have been influenced by government public sentiment campaigns.
