The Sydney Roosters could strike a blow and crow about elitism, writes Bruno Bouchet . The forces of anti-elitism are reaching their height. Educated, intelligent people are under attack.
Good taste is suspect and a passion for the arts is downright un-Australian.
This Sunday's league grand final brings a unique opportunity for that lead to be taken. None other than the eastern suburbs' own Sydney City Roosters. They are to rugby league what intellectual and art elites are to mainstream politics. The Roosters are seen as a rich team with few supporters. Bit like all those intellectuals being slagged off for drinking coffee in Darlinghurst.
