Supporting Sport?

Supporting Sport?

Dear Sir,

Hart means "Halt All Racist Tours", therefore, assuming they are against the All Black Tour, I must assume that they consider the tour to be racist.

What does the tour comprise of? All Blacks touring a country that allows apartheid. Are Hart saying therefore, that 30 All Balcks support racism and apartheid? I put it to you that Hart supports this ludicrous theory.

The 30 men in the All Blacks comprise farmers, lawyers, teachers, managers; some black, some white, some university graduates, some not, some North Islanders, some South Islanders; what a cross-section of New Zealand!!

If they were apartheid supporters they wouldn't take Bryan Williams, Bill Bush and numerous others who are black or part black and vice versa, Bryan Williams, Bill Bush etc might wish not to take the whites.

The New Zealand people, the All Balcks and the Government (who I don't wholly support), are supporting a sporting, namely Rugby, Not a racist tour! Support Sport,

Fart on Hart
