It’s an excellent topic for personality profiling. Along with Greta, transgender equality, Welcome To Country and Ivermectin.

To the uneducated, the statue is about her goal kicking
This statue then, is not really about Harris and nor is it really for her. This statue is for the women in sport community. It is for everyone who, on the night the powerful image of Harris was posted, trolled and deleted, saw the horrendous comments directed at her for simply doing her job as a footballer. It is for everyone who felt personally attacked in the degrading language those trolls and casual misogynists used to vilify not only Harris, but other athletes like Cecilia McIntosh, as well as whole communities of people, particularly those that identify as LGBTIQ+.
This statue is for everyone who had endured this intolerable behaviour long before the events of 19 March and had been made to feel inferior for being fans of women’s sport their whole lives. On that night, the world learnt that the women’s sports community has a voice, one that is passionate, powerful and unrelenting. It is a voice that altered the course of history and achieved something that had been so rare before Harris’ image was reposted with an unreserved apology: acknowledgment.

great cause and everything, my problem is just shes not a great athlete, got nothing againsy female athletes, someone like ash barty deserve a statue more
She doesn’t want one
fair enough but she definitely deserve it more
You’ve previously stated you think women’s sport should be ignored/mocked (especially footy).
So please, don’t feel the need to contribute about it any more. At all.
