Mega Thread The Adam Goodes Megathread - Now with Added Poll!

[Footy Is The Win]

Such a childish comment.

I rest my case.

 

[subaru]

It's absolutely in dispute. Goodes did the right thing.

The fact was that he hurt her.

The fact was that her comment hurt him.
See where this all goes ? Doing what he did regardless of hurting someone ?

Yeah
Great guy

Adam Goodes had no problem hurting a 13yo girl to make his point.

Bullshit.

He heard the word, and (rightfully) pointed the person out.

Was he supposed to calmly and slowly figure out the details of this person before coming to the conclusion it was a racial slur? And if he did do that, is he then to conclude that because it was a 13yo girl, it was ok?

Look I have my problems with Goodes, but those taking the 'it's ok to boo him because of his reaction to a racial slander'.... yeah, you're racist.

 

[Number37]

I recognise farcical attitudes and attempts to control people.

So when the AFL, the players association and everyone in between says the booing has gone on long enough it is time to end it, you don't recognise it as farcical that people still want to boo?

 

[Choomah]

You do realise that a boomerang is also a weapon don't you.

Must of hurt so many people throwing a fake boomerang

Touch a nerve did I?

 

[TheMightyEagles]

If someone still continues to boo, after it's been well documented that Adam and his family have been negatively effected. They're nothing but mean spirited bullies.

I'd be surprised if people continue to boo. As mentioned, I certainly wouldn't support it. It's kicking someone when they're down.

With kids the rules are different. They make mistakes.

But if she didnt teach u the basic concept of respect then u need to learn from others.Did she teach u to boo your teaches.No Its about respect now

no she just hit me over the head with wooden spoon until i told her i was hungry again

 

[carnthemlions]

You don't come up with a statement like that off the cuff.
He had all night to think about it .....I can imagine he practised it in front of the mirror.

So Carlton fans misinterprated the "war cry" too did they - which apparently is depicting a boomerang and not a spear. O'rly (reminds me of a line from The Untouchables movie)

Maybe Adam misinterprated the boos.

Honestly, I think you might've "misinterprated" what this site is about. The fact that it's a forum does not in fact mean that anyone is interested in what you have to say.

The fact was that he hurt her.

The fact was that her comment hurt him.
See where this all goes ?

Yes. People are going to conclude(for the 1000th time) that you're not very intelligent. **** me, you even stand out in SA shitfights on bay 13.

You need to read back
\Several posters have quoted he realised the girl was young before he pointed her out

There was a time not too long ago when Goodes himself proclaimed the boos did not affect him. That he saw it as a mark of respect that he was being targeted with booing. I make this point and its ignored. Why is that?

Yeah
Great guy

Yet if he doesn't point her out, she continues to think it's OK to yell those things out.

What should he have done?

 

[plastikman]

Well since its Friday, its time to quit work / bigfooty & get stuck into some Boos.

Great response, well said.

 

[Footy Is The Win]

Maybe if she hadn't of been stupid enough to make a racist comment she wouldn't of got hurt

What happened to all that empathy you SJW's have been spouting?

 

[Choomah]

He also said it affected his family and close friends

 

[JohnnyFontane90]

booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooze

 

[Number37]

Adam Goodes had no problem hurting a 13yo girl to make his point.

Yeah, it is Adam Goodes fault she called him an ape.

If you can yell out racist abuse you can cop the consequences. SIMPLE!

 

[NSWCROW]

What happened to all that empathy you luvvies have been spouting?

 

[Jade]

Touch a nerve did I?

Oh dear god.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest you probably don't have the capacity to rile me up too much.

So it's clear he tried to shrug them off and just get on with his footy, but it's got to the point where he's cracking?

Yeah cool, let's boo louder and crush the guy! Great plan.

I've seen your form on the Bay too blossom
Let's say your intended slur is of absolutely no consequence to me.
If you want to address the issues and refute any of my comments feel free.
But if it's a personal attack you're intent on, I would suggest to you that this is not the Bay and you refrain.

 

[NSWCROW]

Yeah, it is Adam Goodes fault she called him an ape.

He shouldnt've been so black

 

[Jade]

With kids the rules are different. They make mistakes.

And as a society are we not obliged to correct those mistakes?

Goodes could not have handled that particular incident any better.
