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

[Chief]

How so ?

You're repeating his sentiments.

 

[Monkey King]

Maybe. I wouldn't know. But I would certainly think it likely that the Alan Joneses and the Andrew Bolts and their fellow travellers have far greater sway over public opinion than "officialdom".

Let's see. If the booing stops I'd say you're wrong. If it continues, you may be right.

 

[Footy Is The Win]

I think you missed something...

Throwing eggs at people who aren't Adam Goodes is fine?

 

[Monkey King]

Then said it wasn't her fault, that she should not be harassed.

He talked about it on racial terms despite her saying it wasn't racially motivated. Some may think that's ok. Other won't.

Goodes is a saint. The crowd is scum. The AFL have made their view on this very clear.

You're repeating his sentiments.

You've missed my point then

Unlike me , he made no allowance for the fact that she may NOT have meant it to be racist

He immediately presumed she meant it in a racial context

No investigation - no contact with her - very happy to run with " call racism where I see it " story straight after the game

Had all night and the best he could do was maintain that she was racist the next day to a full press conference

Social justice warrior

But bleeding heart lefties works just as well

Joking - dont **** ing card me

It is used by bigots of every flavour to shout down anyone with the opinion that the world would be a better place if bigots kept their views to themselves. It is apparently the worst insult one person can say to another.

Oh come on. You're a bigot if you're sick of the perpetually outraged? SJW is fine.

First the minutes applause
Turning of the backs
Now the banner

Well the all encompassing moral police, the A F L
, haven't said its not ok have they ?

 

[Footy Is The Win]

Caged or free range eggs?

Caged or free range eggs?

I've got some sitting out in the sun - they'll be nice and ripe by the next time we play Sydney

A piece of eggshell in somebody's eye never hurt anybody.

False metric. Just because Bolt and his ilk are criticizing Goodes, just because they are framing booing as a pivotal free speech issue, doesn't mean they are only vindicated by the booing continuing.

The important thing for them is to get enough people pigeonholing Goodes as opinionated and self-important, and as jumping in with what they want seen as the human rights "industry".

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

That leaves me very confused.

Close thread?

 

[Chief]

You've missed my point then

Unlike me , he made no allowance for the fact that she may NOT have meant it to be racist

He immediately presumed she meant it in a racial context.

As you would in his position.

No investigation - no contact with her - very happy to run with " call racism where I see it " story straight after the game

Yep.

Had all night and the best he could do was maintain that she was racist the next day to a full press conference

What were his exact words about it the next day? I know they've been posted but I don't have the links.

So, let's knock that over. On the field, after the game, the next day. We've heard this part. You think that wasn't fair.


What position did he finally arrive at?

How does that match up with your position?

 

[NewMelbournian]

I'm actually anxious about the Geelong v Sydney match. If he gets booed all game with every touch again this will be all over the media more than ever.

.... Or maybe they just hold an opposing point of view

To which I believe they are entitled


How on Earth has this gotten as far as it has ?

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

Oh come on. You're a bigot if you're sick of the perpetually outraged? SJW is fine.

Best we first establish who the "permanently outraged" are. I see plenty on both sides of this discussion.

Lots of morons go to the footy and therefore he will get booed.
