Watch the kookaburra dance of the Eora nation. Same dance.
Except why is there always an assumption that it is about his race? He dives, whinges to umpires and is a dirty player, so he gets booed initially. Then the media get on it and play the race card, Goodes does interviews and does nothing to dismiss this, which people dislike. The cycle then repeats with ducks and dives, boos are released, then more race cards played.
But it is offensive. Enjoy the holiday.
It's a challenge, the haka is aimed at any challengers, crowd or players. There are many Haka's that are performed at schools, or ceremonies. So your comment is not really accurate.Ok so the Haka, is performed (most times) correctly and with passion BEFORE the game, directed at the opposition NOT the crowd as a form of intimidation. What Adam did was a piss poor attempt aimed directly at the crowd to stir up sh*t. Sorry not having a go at you just relying to your Haka comment.
Don't know about the Strayan way but it's definitely Adam Goodes' way.We have a right to be offended though. It's the 'Strayan way.
doubt it. the 3 vote man?
What does the haka have to do with anything?It's a challenge, the haka is aimed at any challengers, crowd or players. There are many Haka's that are performed at schools, or ceremonies. So your comment is not really accurate.
if it was all about him would he do it in another round?He would have had this planned for months, to do something that will put him in the news in indigenous round. He wants it to be all about him.
It's pathetic.
I wasn't the one who raised it, just correcting his post.What does the haka have to do with anything?
This is the interwebz, we all have a right to offend and be offended.Don't know about the Strayan way but it's definitely Adam Goodes' way.

But how did you post that on BigFooty if he has crashed BigFooty...

Australia is a racist country - fact. The booing of Adam Goodes is a manifestation of the casual racism & tall-poppy syndrome (that is another matter in itself) in Australia. I have no doubt that you casual racists boo him because you think he is a tosser, what concerns me is why you think he is a tosser...
Indigenous man takes pride in his heritage and does a traditional war-cry tribute and a concerning amount of people scream "flog". People, try and dress that up any way other for me...
Absolutely agree. Also serves as a good opportunity to flush out racists who've crept into your Facebook friends list unnoticed.I love how us whitey's are so offended! What do we have to lose? What in your life is gonna change tomorrow from Goodes going a bit crazy?
Tell you who is gonna be affected. Indigenous kids who look up at the footy on a Friday night in front of thousands of people and see the Aussie of the year do a traditional dance. It will fill a lot of kids with pride.
Can we toughen up and let them have it?
