Eh?No, no he is not. But he has written and spoken about the racist history of white and indigenous relations in this country in an unflinching way that is unique. That is what pisses people. He is too political, too outspoken, and too proud.
Yes, I think I've read enough of it to get the picture now.imo this thread needs more use of the word 'flog'
What do you mean? You're getting all insulty. Tell me your point. As far as I can read it it goes something like thisNah man. Told me enough about your ability to think logically.
I also don't think your IA and thus forgive me for thinking your F.O.S.
Skimishes seriously.
Face it and just admit you F Upped making the statement about it being 60000 years old. I mean you were close only 59998 years out.
Nope. He was still doing it when he came to Essendon for 30 seconds.He got fined didn't he? Told off by his coach.
Let's see if the same thing happens with Goodes.
This isn't his platform though. Indigenous round is the platform, it is about education, tolerance and harmony. This isn't the 80s or 90s surely there are enough tolerant and smarter Australians in the modern era that we've moved beyond (ambiguous) political points and confrontation. Yes, racism is inherent in Australian society but in my view nothing has done better at closing the cultural divide and ousting racism than the game of Australian Rules footy.I don't always agree with him, but I'm loving seeing him shove it up people who defend their bullshit with "I supported Nicky Winmar in 94". Goodes' statements are political, and they rile people up because they cross the line rather than sitting in some comfortable zone that is easy to digest for Anglos. Inequality is real, it happens all the time in this country (we all supported the Indigenous players when they protested the community closures) and the way people react to Goodes' 'provocation' is proof that it's all alive and well. They don't think that he may be more aware than them of what's going on, they just get stuck into him. He's not perfect, but what he is is a 358 game dual Brownlow winner who deserves his platform and, more importantly, some respect. Especially from those who claim to love footy.
Who gives a f#*k really? I didn't mind it. Goodes is proud of his heritage, so am I.
I was asking for context. The spear threat didn't just appear from no where did it?Do you think a player pretending to wave a spear at opposition spectators is ok, after doing a war dance directed at them?
I can't stop watching thisI hope someone does one of those lightsaber gifs with it.
Did he do it the previous week?after they booed him
That's the media though, not the people in the thread. I am with you on the idea that it's not inherently racisteally

Yeah that's not what the media said... Also I don't claim to speak for all Hawks Supporters, but as a Hawks Supporter, the media certainly tried to tar me with the one brush..

Not watching the game because, you know, Carlton...But just saw the celebration. **** me man...Seriously. Is there a bigger "LOOK AT ME!!! PLEASE LOOK AT ME!!" guy in AFL history?
How should he have handled it. We're they not here first?You mean when he pointed the finger at a 13 year old girl who called him an ape? (not gorilla). And how he didn't show an ounce of regret about how he handled things afterwards? and how in his Australian of the Year speech, he said something along the lines of "remember, this is our land, we were here first"?
If you could remove your head from the extreme-left mindset, you might've figured out that he's getting booed for the way he handled things, and not because of his skin colour.
Try this:
Is that why he did it? They've been booing him for a while.Do you think a player pretending to wave a spear at opposition spectators is ok, after doing a war dance directed at them, because they booed him?
