NoYou do realise who I am?
So Goodes decides to ruin a 14 year old girl's life by pointing her out on national TV because she calls him an ape?
I'm not sure who is the victim and who is the perpetrator here.
So she was only out of primary school.. wooh Goodes great time to pick your moment.
Some of the appalling ignorance here and in general society is so sad.
Calling a black person "Ape/Monkey etc" has historical racist connotations. Africans and Indigenous Australians have been de-humanised for centuries by being compared to sub-human species.
It is racist. There is no ifs or buts about it.
And he should be applauded for how he handled the situation both last night and today.
Well you should be ashamed of making comments such as this: 'She's shamed herself forever...'
Way over the top dramatics and shreiks of mob participated villification.
Fortunately, Adam Goodes has substantially more class than you do in how he has handled himself in this matter.
I feel a bit sorry for her, to be honest. She's young and still developing, morally speaking...
Most of us don't have to learn our life lessons in such a humiliatingly public way...
milne has probably copped more hurtful comments in any game that most others do in a season and guess what some old chook who abuses him gets celebrity status on 9's footy show.. did anyone ask milne if he was hurt by this?..
Quite often ppl dress up to go to the cricket, they dress as Horses, clowns, paddlepop lions and I have seen apes, just wonder whether the pc police will stop ppl dressing up as apes in future?So, If i wore an Ape outfit to the footy tomorrow with a banana in my hand, would that be a bad thing?
Yeah sure, let her get away with it by staying at the match. Goodes did the right thing. Pointed out the incident and did not pursue it further. Who are we to judge how it effects him anyway. He responded to how it made him feel and you are saying he should of felt different. Really?
All too politically correct this. Geez the amount of times I have heard fans yelling abuse and slurs at players is ridiculous. Stephen Milne is called a rat every week. Far out Goodes, your a grown man that puts yourself out there, take it as it comes like the rest of the players instead of blowing it up into a big issue.
No one knew what she said until today. "Alleged racist remarks" was going around last night like wild fire. What were you thinking she said last night when she was ejected? I bet it wasn't "ape"
That is a lot of stupidity in such a small post.All too politically correct this. Geez the amount of times I have heard fans yelling abuse and slurs at players is ridiculous. Stephen Milne is called a rat every week. Far out Goodes, your a grown man that puts yourself out there, take it as it comes like the rest of the players instead of blowing it up into a big issue.
Are you suggesting racism falls under freedom of spech? If so, that is literally the dumbest thing that has ever been suggested on the internet. And that's saying something.Democracy: Freedom of Speech very important part of it.
