Nope, nothing is Adam Goddes' fault.

I'm sure once he's retired and we all move forward into 2016, Indigenous players will continue to be booed for 'racial' reasons, yes? No!

I'm all for progressing the Indeginous community, there's just simply no logic in what Goodes has done this year in terms of helping. He's created a divide rather than doing what we all want, bringing everyone together.

The odd ignorant racist will exist forever, plain and simple. What's progressive is taking the high ground and ignoring it, not branding everyone with the same prejudice view with an intent to shame people from expressing none racial judgments.

No logic at all? What an absolute load of complete and utter crock.
Goodes created a divide because the rednecks don't like an uppity black man.
Goodes has NOTHING,ZERO, NADA to apologise for. NOTHING.
Goodes did NOTHING wrong, NOTHING.

You can make every excuse in the world to support your faux outrage, just be aware that not everyone is fooled by your crap justifications.

Never said that.

"I had a dream…"


He threw a spear?

The thing which shits me about all the media fibbers and their kool-aid drinking readership is the way they instantly chorused the same line about it being a "fantastic celebration of indigenous culture on Indigenous Round"

Never mind that it wasn't some traditional indigenous dance, but a few moves invented by some kids. Let's not worry about that.

There was no mention in the media that Goodes was booed on his SCG homeground on Indigenous Round.
Many articles kept referencing the boos he received vs Hawthorn one week earlier. :confused:

No mention of the Carlton hordes who were loudly booing him that night. Nobody had predicted that would happen.
No mention that Goodesy's "war cry" was directed straight those hecklers.

No mention that his "war cry" provoked a couple of those hecklers into losing their shit, getting accosted by police and escorted out of the SCG. Patrick Keane actually lied about this on afl.com and stated the incidents were unrelated, police responded to a separate incident and the man left the ground willingly, blah blah blah, bullshit, bullshit

Classic AFL damage control and media management of a potential controversy. I watched it all unfold on TV and I laughed at media manipulation on all the websites and watched how the story was massaged over the next 24hrs.

Goodes was hurt by booing he'd been receiving and he came up with a perfect response on indigenous round. Unleashing his war cry on the Carlton goose, then smiling humbly afterwards, aw shucks, just a few celebration moves i picked up from the Flying Boomerangs. Then all the SJWs giving him pats on the back afterwards. Well done, Goodesy... You're the man… Howling down anyone who suggested it was a unnecessary provocative gesture that led to two people being thrown out and may have incited worse trouble.

I loved his dance. It was funny and great "F**K you" to the booers, but I scoff at the way the Goodes disciples have lied about it.
 
The brother of the AFL's CEO made light of the sudden death of a well known wrestler describing his passing as "he's gone, he's disappeared!" and nobody will even mention it. Yet all we'll read about in the papers and hear Gill talk about this week is how they're praying to God that Adam Goodes won't get booed this week.

Booing or making fun of someone's death, you tell me which is more offensive.
 
If you dont boo then you will be providing cover for the racists who are not booing any more.
Surely nobody wants to be associated with racists so everybody had better BOO their hearts out now or face being accused of racism.

It is not hard to see which side you sit on.

Viney spent 7 hours on a computer watching games and said Goodes wasn't booed outside of the west coast and hawthorn games.

He didn't watch the game at Metricon Stadium then.
 
No, I don't recall arguing the second on and the first one isn't what Chewy posted.

Goodes statement was pretty simple. Racism on this occasion manifested in a teenage girl. That's very different to saying she is the sole embodiment of racism. If the two statements are so indistinguishable, I don't see why people can't just use the full sentence Goodes said rather than paraphrasing it, leaving parts out, or splitting it into two different sentences.

'Racism has a face' is different to 'The face of racism'?

"...racism has a face last night and, you know, it was a 13-year-old girl but it's not her fault."

So last night, racism had a face.
Okay, who or what was the face of racism last night?

It was a 13-year-old girl. Last night, the face of racism was a 13-year-old girl.

Goodes statement was pretty simple.

Crikey your view of humanity is dim.

You're always replying to my posts and making personal comments at me, but never responding to any points in make in my post. I'm not interested in that. Discuss the topic and stop being a judgmental flog about people who post their opinions.

Who cares if you think I have a dim view of humanity? Not me.

People go to the footy to watch footy

If they want to be educated there are many places to go to, keep the politics separate from sport


Yes they go to the footy .....so why do they carry on, get drunk and carry on like a pork chops

Some education in cultural way is always A good thing

A welcome to country speech would take 2-3 minutes .....so your telling me out of three hours of footy as in time you're there you can't spare 3 minutes


Sorry what's the rush again ?
