In a shocking move, Australian charity White Ribbon has severed ties with the National Rugby League (NRL) over invitations sent to controversial figures in the US ahead of the season-opening Las Vegas game. The charity, which advocates against violence against women, has taken a strong stance against the league's decision. The controversy surrounding the invitations has sparked outrage, with many calling the move 'tone deaf'. The NRL's handling of the situation has raised questions about its commitment to social responsibility and respect for women's rights. Key issues include domestic violence awareness and respectful behaviour.
