We're not racist coz those guys are as well?
Because while we're certainly not perfect, most other countries are far, far worse.

Yer but some people are massively over playing this, throwing imaginary Spears lolJust because they're a champion of the game doesn't preclude them from being a flog. Dermie is a bit of a flog as well.
Barrett on Triple M is working his arse off to beat this up as much as possible.
People been calling Ablett a flog all night. Because he is bald right?You guys call a champion of our game a flog, I call some of you lot over-reactive flogs....
If you are not intimidated by a challenge you wouldn't need to respond. You are also making an assumption that Goodes was responding to a challenge... Like I said earlier, as an AOTY there are better ways he could have gone about recognising his heritage.Oh ffs. It's a challenge to a challenge. Neither needs to be intimidated by it.
How so?Because while we're certainly not perfect, most other countries are far, far worse.
It's actually worse in most countries.Did I say the rest of the world was any better?
CAPITAL FLOG....Hope your happy AFL!....You've created a monster here.
Protected species...Ego out of control....Dummy-spit baby.
How can any right-minded, serious thinking citizen take this boy seriously?....He is an AFL engineered puppet.
Agree. That said peeps go about it in different ways. Goodes is decisive. He has a bit of Rob Riley about him. Not a bad thing.
So Indigenous Aussie can only make statements that are socially sanctioned by us?[/QUOTE]l 28111"]that's hardly the manner to create awareness. as it's shown tonight it just incites anger. End of the day, which ever way you look at it, it's put a negative edge too what is really meant to be a positive weekend
Lol. It would be funny but you see my point.
If i was to stand in the crowd and raise my jumper and point to my white skin it would be racist but the reverse doesn't apply.
Wonder how it would be taken if Bachar Houli performed some form of traditionally arabic heritage and cultural war dance on the ground?

This guy was doing ok this afternoon outside flinders street station
No one booed him all he got from everyone was support
And McLeod was almost universally admired and respected as a player.
Goodes used to be, but he's tarnished his legacy as his career has gone on.
McLeod is decisive as well (in the context you use); he's very strong and very vocal and passionate about the issues he sees... But he's not a self obsessed tosser who tries to be a martyr all of the time.
People boo Goodes because he's a knob; he seems to be so self absorbed that he refuses to believe this, how could anyone boo Dual Bronwlow medallist (he shouldn't have win that second one, anyway) Adam Goodes?!?
It must be because people are racist.
Oh come on....Interesting choice of words
What would you have him do that is ok to represent his heritage?If you are not intimidated by a challenge you wouldn't need to respond. You are also making an assumption that Goodes was responding to a challenge... Like I said earlier, as an AOTY there are better ways he could have gone about recognising his heritage.
Except he has been booed en masse before that incident, it just happens that one particular occasion coincided with the indigenous round and has been jumped on by the media. Goodes copped a massive amount of boos against Hawthorn two weeks before the Collingwood game because almost broke Josh Gibson's legs by leading with his legs. The media even reported on it and the boos and called out Goodes for playing soft football.
But nah, every single incident just has to be about his race.
This is what I mean.
"It's a positive weekend, be positive!"
There's many within the indigenous community who after the last 200 years would say stick your positivity up your arse and start fixing things.
And in many ways they have a point.
There'll be many, many indigenous people who would have leapt at the their TV in joy and support at that little symbolic gesture from Goodes. I don't think they'll be too fussed about ruining the whitefellas' positive vibes.

Seeking fanfare, or being visible and vocal in the press. Goodes has had more exposure and been unrepentant, there is a huge element of sit down and shut up in the response.Andrew McLeod is a massive advocate for his people, speaks out about important issues frequently, does a huge amount of positive work without seeking fanfare as a result. He's extremely proud of his heritage.
How often was he booed as a player???
How is he viewed now??
Right...ummm you do realise you literally just proved my point.
Why is it you think he is an "arrogant opinionated flog"? Can't think of too many vastly radical opinions the man has except those in which the casual racist
