... throwing imaginary spears at them.Being booed is not being harassed, especially if you do heinous acts which do not endear you to opposing fans (sniping players off the ball, pleading for non-existent free kicks).
Actually, fifty thousand people are there to watch the footy. I don't think you'll get the same turnout for a pay-to-enter lecture on racism.
Calm down. Think of the positive things in life.Damn. Seeing posts on this thread, reading the vitriol from people on social media, watching punters at the footy...
Hard not to think that as a country we've been set back 100 years.
Well Done.

You mean the same premiership that you lost on one of your home grounds, umpire rort (11 extra free kicks), half my team hopping on half a leg (Adam beat you with a torn PCL ffs ), all the momentum in the 3rd and 4th quarters and Mitch Morton and Sam Reid as our go-to men up forward. LOL! Will never get over that one.I'm not so sure why it started off so apparently with Hawthorn. I guess after losing a premiership to the Swans in 2012 with an inflated salary cap had something to do with it. Maybe there's just too many disconnected, well-off Eastern suburbs ******s in the midst
Because you know do you? Anything here is heresay as everyone boos him for different reasons.
So you read my post. You fit in to the "I boo because the authorities have told me not to, and I fancy myself as a bit of a rebel" category. Well done, you must feel great leaving the ground knowing that spending your hard earned has not only provided the prerequisite game of footy, but also an ego boost.How about the fans who pay hard earned to watch a game be left to their own devices, and not act like sheep like the AFL and its boys club of ex players, commentators, tee vee hosts want you to.
All of a sudden a person who boo's at the footy has morphed into a racist and a bully.
The SJW's have finally arrived en masse.
When did Hawthorn make comments like that?
Be sensible here.
if a precious all black went all haka on a small section of opposition crowd, in the middle of a game, they may well get booed. i know you think this is analagous to the goodes situation, but i disagree
'we' (as you say) did accept the challenge to go to war. what's not to understand?
the haka is not a parallel to the goodes situation. the haka is done to the opposition - the very people you are about to (legally) physically abuse (stomp, hit, tackle, ruck) and may end up having a punch-on with.
if goodes wants peace then a recently made up, and in no usual sense 'traditional' war dance is probably not the gesture to endear himself. he could have led the aborigines from his, and the opposition team around the ground and done a welcoming ceremony with burning gum leaves and stuff, before the game. he's just not doing it right, obviously.
i don't quite get you here, unless you are conflating 'indigenous' with 'traditional'? in which case i answered above. is there a hidden premise here that indigenous automatically equals good? i hope i didn't miss your point too badly.
I doubt I am allowed to start a thread on this but could Swans fans defeat this booing with their own chant?
If they did a loud boisterous GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODES every time he touches the ball that sounded similar to a BOOOOOO except it became a symbol of support would that limit the impact of other teams fans booing him?
Hell it is too late now but if Goodes had addressed this a few months back in response to a question about boos directed at him by saying "I thought they were saying GOO-DES" and some stupid hashtag started of #IwassayingGoodes around the place we would not be discussing this right now.
**** it. I am not on twitter but someone start that handle and let it spread. We can defeat this booing meme with another meme rather than having to so badly polarise football fans.
#IwassayingGoodes
He proberbly wouldnt like it as he is a gentleman and wouldnt boo anyone. Thats not the issue. The issue is Adam has brought alot of this on himself. He chose to confront the supporters with his war dance and now he doesnt like the backlash.And what would he think about the booing of Goodes?
the booing of goodes is because he is just a shit bloke, a whinging diving campaigner on the football field. they do not boo him for his heritage they boo him for just being a shit campaigner of a human bean
Ahhh they did and people still found a reason to make him out to be the bad guy because it turned out to be a kid.Go through what? Being Boo'ed?
If someone racially said something, no problems, but if someone is "boo-ing" him because they simply don't like him, don't sit behind your monitor and tell me that's racist.
