Hmm….so a coach is asked ‘What did you think about the boo’ing of Buddy’
Whats he supposed to say, ‘Who’s Buddy?’.
Man, Id hate to see you if he really cut loose and pointed the finger….you’d go blue!
Nah…I refer back to my earlier post….you’re distinctly paranoid.
He was a saint compared to someone like Hodge who was a straight up thug. Hodge didn't get boo'ed week in week out and in fact despite that and his drink driving charge was held aloft as 'a good bloke'. How often have you referred to Hodge as a dirty dog?
I love Eddie, enjoyed watching Buddy play in his best years and abhor racism...but if someone boos Buddy because he played well against their team are they being racist because Buddy feels it's racist? I dunno seems like a slippery slope
Part of the issue was McGuire wanting a stand alone game in Sydney during the mid year bye round to get more eyes on the club. This was in the days where your first 6 games of the season were your double up games. The request for the stand alone prevented a return game in Melbourne. When that wrapped up we hit the COVID years. Unfortunately, so long as we continue to have untouchable blockbuster games and fixture requests, there will never be anything resembling equity in the fixture.
He doesn't do anything AFL related anymore because of his treatment and how Gil McLoughlin pandered to the right wing racist media
Cool, so if you say “Hi Buddy, how are you” and he says “That’s racist” suddenly you are a racist?
Every man and his dog thought Hodge was a dirty dog, and we all celebrated the day he retired. He was a media gem. Don’t confuse what the corporate joes and the grant majority of fans think of things.
Weak response. Why did you or other supporters boo Buddy anyway? Any reason at all? Just to denigrate him or another reason?
He had to turn down an invitation to the Hall Of Fame because he didn't feel welcome at anything AFL any more
It's all about the intent. The interpretation is merely up to the recipient. But that doesn't change the intent.
I feel this post is you being a racist.....
Yes, but the standard office isn’t generally funded by people paying money to view them and barrack for one side doing their office work.
A guy on the field hears 30,000 people yelling at him every time he goes near the ball. How's he supposed to tell who's being a racist shit heel and who's doing it because they've only got one brain cell?
Paying money doesn't mean you can harass people consequence free though.
That wasn't my argument though.
What a stupid response.
He is arguing that the interpretation of someone's comment is separate to the intent of it.
I didn’t think it needed to be spelled out either, but apparently I was wrong.
