News Richmond to wear Dreamtime jumper in support of Adam Goodes [Keep it here]

[Bishop]

So we're wearing our indigenous tops against Hawthorn.

 

[ManWithNoName]

So just saw this

And really like it. Lot of respect to the Tigers for this. It's a fantastic gesture and says a lot of good things about the club and the people there.

 

[Hipster Doofus]

Very good initiative by the club.

 

[tunksy]

Very proud of the club if we do that in support of goodes. Its gone to far and its time to stop.

Thank you.

 

[scaryness]

Kudos to Richmond for the great initiative.

Great gesture of respect.

 

[BloodRet]

Cheers guys. It's good to know we're not alone here.

We could wear his girlfriend's knickers on our heads and take deep breaths ... how about that?

 

[Madtiger2006]

You have to laugh at tigers supporters disgusted by this decision on facebook. Wtf do they know what it's like to be in Goodes position. What did he do for the booing to even begin in the first place. Dumb people

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

Can we see it getting to a point where booing is banned?
It's all very grey.

 

[Madtiger2006]

If Houli started getting booed this week and it continued every week none of us would be calling him a sook

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

I'm happy for Goodes to call for no more booing.
I just wish people would stop saying the booing is done with a racist mindset because clearly it isn't.
But anyway Carn the Tigers.

As Rodney said, I think people are calling him a sook etc because the booing has nothing to do with his race. But it's being portrayed that way. I'm kind of over it to be honest though.

Umpires must always be booed. Except when they finally get a decision right, and then they get the "hooooooo-raaaaaaay, dickhead".

If he was being boo'd for being Muslim and playing AFL that would be crap.. so when Essendon boo Houli is that being racist? Or they just trying to put him off his game since they feel he 's**t's himself under pressure'...

If Jack Watts was an indigenous player... what would people think of the booing then...?

I'm not saying racism doesn't exist in our sport or that there isn't a minority that boo Goodes out of racism I just think it's blown out of proportion..

ANYWAY this is a preview thread .. GO TIGERS!

 

[connolly]

Thank you.

Yes enormous respect to your club and the players. The great Jack Dyer would be proud of you I think

Why are they booing then? Because he's sooking that he started getting booed every week? But why did he start getting booed every week?

It's gone too far. One person does not deserve all this hate. Anyway, the game is being damaged in the eyes of the sporting community and that means that we, as supporters of this game, are being damaged.

Just say Houli was booed every game and not just against essendon?
