Now that is geniusTomorrow's headline;
Indigenous man does indigenous dance in indigenous round.
Could you quote that for me please mate? Can't find it anywhere...When he had a cry about being booed last week
Goodes was part of a number of indigenous activism and education roles before 2012. A custom Google search would have helped you.Eh?
By saying nothing for 15 years...
Nice to see you were too superficial to read past the first sentence of my post- like a true social justice warrior, through and through!
WereHow should he have handled it. We're they not here first?
Not up here in Darwin, the local rag will have a headline about a crocodile or some shit.Tomorrow's headline;
Indigenous man does indigenous dance in indigenous round.
Well he's not that busy on the field these days.
The worst part was both the AFL through Pat Keane and Goodes himself confirmed that the cheersquad didn't heckle him in the lead-up to it what so ever.If anyone thinks he done his little jig to celebrate anything other than to stick it up the Carlton fans in the cheer squad, then you are kidding yourselves.
He made a beeline for them,
Why not celebrate in front of your own adoring fans ?
Because he wants to make a statement, uber flog.
Ta. See folks! A good gramma Nazi can bring us together in mutual hatredWere
It's a striking resemblance to the Nicky Winmar tribute isn't it?
Yes, I think I've read enough of it to get the picture now.
Raised by a single mother, who was stolen from her family. Pick #43 in national draft. Gone on to two Brownlows, two premierships, four GFs, four times AA, 444 goals, more career games than all but ten other players in the entire history of the game.
But nah. Massive flog, because Big Footy.
Were
No outrage here, just another flog to me.This must've outraged you then
He should've realized that a naive 13 year old girl yelling calling him an ape in the heat of a match wasn't anywhere near as harrowing as he made it out to be. Pointing the finger wasn't so much the issue (let's be honest, he's no Nicky Winmar), but continuing to victimize himself and make a big deal out of such an insignificant remark made by a kid (who wasn't even intent on being racist) in the days after came across as pathetic.How should he have handled it. We're they not here first?
You're right.Seems to be a lot of people who like aboriginal players provided they just play footy and never raise past injustices against aboriginal people.
People boo Adam Goodes because he is outspoken on aboriginal issues and people do not like to be made to feel responsible for what happened in the past.
Here's a tip.
Acknowledge it happened. Respect the aboriginal people as traditional custodians of this land. Stop booing Adam Goodes. You are embarassing yourselves.
I think you're right. Footy fans don't like it when a player stick his neck out.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.
So if another player pretends to shoot another teams cheer squad thats ok.Is that why he did it? They've been booing him for a while.
That's just plain wrong. People boo Adam Goodes because the bloke is a douchebag. To say that he is booed due to being aboriginal show how uneducated you are. Name another aboriginal player that gets booed? How can someone be selectively racist? You can't be therefore there are other factor into why the booing occurs.Seems to be a lot of people who like aboriginal players provided they just play footy and never raise past injustices against aboriginal people.

Disappointing to see that many posters still lower their colours on this topic. Yet, they will support wife beaters, sexual abusers, cheaters, thieves, drug addicts, gang members and all round scum bags, but if an indigenous person stands up for their rights, it's open season.
RandB raised a good point and it has validity but again it's taken out of context. R means recognise; recognise your heritage, represent your pride, your history, your future. It's what he did, does every day, and will do so until he's long gone. Hes been a vessel against racism, yet so many posters hate him for completely illogical and unexplainable points of views that border on, and occasionally cross over into racism.
Sometimes, you just want to have a decent topical discussion without people lowering themselves to the lowest common denominator.
Media need to beat up on someone and need some rubbish to write, so its no surprise to hear purple head and the Triple M crew beat it way out of proportion.
Is that why he did it? They've been booing him for a while.
