Former league star Mundine had a heated exchange with The Daily Telegraph journalist Paul Kent at today’s promotional press conference for his fight against Daniel Geale on Wednesday.
The following is an edited extract of the exchange:
Mundine: "I don’t know why you want to hate on me, because I’m me, because I’m raw. “I’m breaking records, doing what I done in sports, you know they gypped me in football, that’s why I left the game. You had the [Australian] coach Chris Anderson coming out saying “We don’t pick him because of his off-field characteristics’.
“I left it at its height, and I was the highest player in the league at the time, money talks.”
Kent: “You left the game because you said it was racist … the five-eighth in front of you was Aboriginal, Laurie Daley”.
Mundine: “How was he Aboriginal? He didn’t claim to be Aboriginal, he was like this fella (pointing to Geale). He never claimed to be Koori.”
Kent: “The chairman of selectors was Arthur Beetson, how do you claim he was racist against you?”
Mundine: “Because they’re all Uncle Toms baby, just like him (Geale), he’s an Uncle Tom.”
Kent: “You’re saying Arthur Beetson was an Uncle Tom?”
Mundine: “No, I’m saying they’re joined to the system”.
Kent: “Did you say Arthur Beetson was an Uncle Tom or not?”
Mundine: “No, I’m saying there’s Uncle Toms out there, there is Uncle Toms out there.”
Kent: “Arthur Beetson was chairman of selectors”.
Mundine: “Yeah but he aint make the decisions. He might be chairman of selectors but he don’t make the decisions. It’s set up to crumble.”
Kent: “You’re re-writing history.”
Mundine: “You just come Wednesday night and witness the best athlete you’ve ever seen. I’m a likable guy man, I’m easy-going … I’m just down to Earth, I give everybody time. But when you have people that want to see the downfall, want to wish bad, doubt you, criticise you, what I’ve done aint ever been done.”
Pleeeeeeease dainel geale, knock this guy, the fuck out !!
