Scandal Racist fan throws banana at Eddie Betts

[Milanista28]

Oh yeah, Saint Eddie, he's allowed to heckle opposition fans, he's Eddie Betts.

Lol heckle. He stood there with his arms out.

 

[MC Extra Dollop]

So he shouldn't raise his arms to the crowd and smile?

I jokingly said earlier that it's Eddie's fault because he celebrated too much and deserved it. But you are ACTUALLY saying it? F*ck me.

Yeah, I wonder why there won't be much public support of this form of victim blaming. It sounds disturbingly like what Joe Louis went through in the 1930s. Don't show any emotion, otherwise you'll provoke racist fans into doing something racist.

Who was he Heckling?

 

[Cleric]

Firstly, using Stephen Rowe to back up an argument doesn't help you.

Secondly, if a player can't celebrate to the crowd after a goal then why are we here?

Looking at the faces of the crowd there, they had basically realized at that moment that their season was a waste - again - and they had a reaction. Flip the bird, point, swear a bit - no worries. That's footy. Throw something at a player across the fence? Banned.

You should know better than this.
We are talking about Port supporters. They are called scum, feral and the filth for a reason. They are the worst supporters in the game, and why would you expect anything less from them? Seriously?

Lol heckle you soft ****. He stood there with his arms out.

I'm quoting what the Port supporter said on the other thread on Twittter that found her out...

 

[Chief]

This, the lady is stupid, but Betts should go celebrate with his team mates like (almost) every other player in the league does. He regularly does this, but this time being a Port game that was a mistake. What do you want the emotional Port fans to do people? clap him?

One day, some drunk short tempered person will take a swing.

Pretty sure "provocation" has been removed as a defence against an assault charge.

If you know you can't control yourself, don't go to the footy.

Besides Eddie betts name one more indigenous player it has happened to

Adan Goodes was called a gorilla at one of our home games.

Wingard can celebrate in front of fans too. And he does. Without expecting something thrown at him.

And the stereotype bullshit is at an all time high.

Explain this guy?

 

[baldandbroke]

You clearly haven't got any ******* idea how they sell tickets to these games do you? Port has sections for opposition fans, they are behind the goals.

Whoa pussy cat, calm it down. You are wrong. Just walk away and stop digging. Crows fans are not segregated to a specific bay and you know it. Stop trying to wrangle facts into some twisted reality to suit your twisted pov.

And for the record. Players, ALL Players, can celebrate goals wherever the **** they want. Trying to make an argument that somehow this is partially Eddie's fault is making look more of idiot than you seem to comprehend.

Pretty sure I have never seen Wingard stand there, he's do a celebration on the field...

THEY ARE.

Rather than quoting Twitter, use your own eyes. There's this thing called TV these days where you can watch live-action things happening elsewhere, from your own living room. You can even record things and watch them back later.

 

[coerced]

Fairly obvious that it was racist, can't believe anyone would question it.

 

[pjcrows]

OK, now you're clearly trolling.

You said there was no crow fans in the area?

 

[Milanista28]

That's not Heckling though.

Heckling was When Adebayor scored againts his old team Arsenal for his new side City and ran the whole length of the pitch to celebrate in front of the Arsenal fans haha. Best celebration you'll ever see.

A drunk moronic Adelaide Crows supporter... who didn't throw anything at a player.

Hit by a stray frozen banana

Poor bloke was set upon by an opposition supporter and the cops are taking him to the first aid station.
What else can you read into it. Looks like an assault victim to me.

 

[Herne Hill Hammer]

Imagine if Wingard did this?

We all know what will happen.

They'd all throw hair products at him. Imagine copping a hairdryer to the head?

I'll give credit for that

 

[loplop]

What about Chad Cornes always gave it to us in the crowd after a goal? or did he never do that ever?

Pretty sure I have never seen Wingard stand there, he's do a celebration on the field...

 

[MC Extra Dollop]

If Robbie Gray did the same and a supporter threw something at him, it's the same scenario.

I'm in no way having a go at the PAFC supporter base, I'm just suggesting Eddie (anyone) has every right to celebrate a goal without fear of some moron throwing shit at him.

Anyone trying to justify the behavior is placed in the same boat as the lady in question.

That's part of the theatre. Forward cops it all game in hostile territory, then gets the last laugh and lets the crowd know all about it. It creates some of the most iconic images in the game.

Pretty disgusting that half the Port crowd celebrated after it was thrown, Disgusting people.

i suspect she is from the banana farmers federation and she was concerned that eddie looks a bit thin and pasty and it was a promotional stunt to get people to eat more bananas. yeah mate, half the crowd were laughing because half the crowd are racist, way to go Einstein. good example of exactly what you claim to be against bigot.
