NRL investigates third-party deal of Newcastle Knights star Kalyn Ponga

The deal, which was given written approval by the NRL four years ago, is believed to be worth six figures and has come under the microscope after Ponga’s father, Andre, raised concerns regarding the agreement.

Knights officials confirmed the deal had been given the green light by the NRL in 2020 and the club was confident the issue was not with them. However, issue being reviewed is that the third-party deal was between Ponga and a business associate of one of the club’s most powerful figures. There is no suggestion Ponga, his father Andre, or the club figure and the business associate have done anything wrong.

The spiral of silence refers to the idea that when people fail to speak, the price of speaking rises. As the price to speak rises, still fewer speak out, which further causes the price to rise, so that fewer people yet will speak out, until a whole culture or nation is silenced. This is what happened in Germany.

If you do not speak, you are not being neutral, but are contributing to the success of the thing you refuse to name and condemn.
