Hey that's great. What do you base your assumption that the vast majority of people abusing Goodes were doing so independently of the events related to him being indigenous?

The
They boo him because of who he is and how he portrays himself on and off the field. It has nothing to do with his skin colour or race. Seriously, stop watching main stream media. You have been sucked in by the PC brigade.. No everyday, normal person ( the overwhelming majority of people) look at Adam Goodes and boo him because of his race or skin colour. If he was white, he would have been booed exactly the same

That's just you repeating yourself. Given your dribbling about mainstream media and the PC brigade I'll just assume you're not a particularly deep thinker.

You don't have an answer because you are talking nonsense.. Another lemming PC warrior sadly who can't think for himself or see through the bull sh#t (ostrich with your head in the sand)
Sorry, this is impossible. People have told me that Adam just can't stay out of the spotlight and is bringing this all on himself by refusing to let it die.
I'm sure he sat down for hours and hours of interviews after personally commissioning the project himself in order to 'stay relevant'.
Right?
It’s activists using Goodesy as a vehicle.

I also don't have an answer because no one has asked me a question.

A millionaire sportsman was booed on a football field.
I cannot believe this is still a story.
Take a look around the world we live in. Take in the life or death persecution that others deal with on a daily basis.
And then forget about this PC crap.

I know right? And then all those Jewish people were exterminated. So similar dude.
I find this post and ones like it funny.
There are people on this thread who literally booed Goodes, and are telling you why they were booing him. And instead of listening and even attempting to understand, you dismiss it all and give your own reasoning.
What's it like to be so sure of your own opinion that you can just ignore the opinions of those who disagree with you? And just tell people how they feel and why they do what they do?
Yes and for no other player did the AFL come out and demand people stop booing that player. Maybe people were upset about political correctness gone crazy and showed that by booing even louder, nothing to do with race. The same reaction that got trump elected, people are tired of the SJW agenda.
Because the booing started before the whole indigenous issues, only increased after authorities told people to stop and other indigenous players only received cheers and praise(and yes, other aboriginal players have actually spoken about indigenous issues before, never got booed for it!) Amazing.
Of course there's an odd peanut in 60 thousand people who yells something racist, but 99% of crowds generally cheer and clap for indigenous players, sometimes even more than players of other races. Instead of focusing on that the sheep and SJWs try and label everyone racist to make themselves feel better and morally superior.

At the level it was? No. He got the smattering of boos that every heel / champion does. He didn't get sustained booing on every posession over a sustained period.

Clean bowled. Top of middle and off stump
I think this kind of sums it all up. Aussies can rationalise behaviour in all sorts of ways, but on this issue we are simply not grown up.
If it was all about taunting Carlton fans he should've been cheeredSam Newman's review is in.
Was in the pub enjoying another Carlton defeat in the making, no sound. Then it happened and everyone's like "Did you see that? WTF was that?"

My first memory of Adam Goodes was watching a skinny tall kid slot six in a TAC granny for Ballarat. I was delighted when my mob picked him up as a speculative late pick.
Early doors he was very shy and would not say 'boo to a goose' as the old saying goes. Gradually he became a good player, then best 22 and ultimately a champion.
Alongside that he gradually grew in social confidence and found a voice to participate in debates as one of many representatives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders. He is still a quiet and reflective person and with Mickey O gives a lot back to kids through their foundation. Oddly enough some within Aboriginal communities considered his politics too middle of the road. Some of my mates consider he could have used his position to go much harder.
As a player he certainly copped his share of whacks, as all great players do. Personally I never saw him king hit other players or behave in a manner that would have him type cast as a villain. He was no Brereton or Hall.
I cannot recall any player who copped the same level of antagonistic abuse that Goodes received and I have been going to the footy for over 60 years. How can this be explained? There is only one logical explanation I can think of and that is he spoke up and white Australians just did not like it.
I still wonder what that happy 17yo kid celebrating a win and the simple joys of the game with his team mates would have thought about the nonsense written about him more than 20 years down the track. I suspect he might have been lost to the game. That would have been a loss for Goodes, footy and Australia.

Newman trying to remain relevant by taking the easy option of supporting the masses.
I'm sure the film-makers are devastated.Sam Newman's review is in.

I hate it how all of us supporters boo every aboriginal player, wait, no.......most aboriginal players, wait, no...........some aboriginal players, wait, no.........a couple of aboriginal players, wait, no...........1 aboriginal player, yes. We are all such racists (but only to one player.....mmmmmm)
Then when we boo another play (mmmmm, what can i use for an example - oh yes, a non aboriginal player), nothing is mentioned about race or anything else.
