Racism is bad. Racists are bad.

Eddie had to go. Too many insensitive comments. Lacked awareness about sensitive topics - whether racist or not. Sad to see the whole saga bring out opportunists and individuals like Lumumba, who are desperate for attention, and would be better served checking into their nearest mental health facility than getting air play.

So Collingwood now need 2 co-presidents to do one persons job. Might as well just wind it all up!

Funnily enough so are a huge amount of Europeans.

The way The Soviets ran the USSR was effectively slavery and that was only 30 years ago.

Eddie's comment about King Kong and Goodes was a tell for me he was a racist.

That was 8 years ago and I still don't know where he was going with it.

Darcy: What a great promo that is for King Kong.
McGuire: Get Adam Goodes down for it do you reckon?
Darcy: No I wouldn't have thought so, absolutely not.
McGuire: You can see them doing that can't you?
Darcy: Who?
McGuire: Goodsey.
Darcy: What's that?
McGuire: You know with the ape thing, the whole thing, I'm just saying the pumping him up and mucking around and all that sort of stuff.

I've heard 'racist' jokes (whether actually racist or not) much worse, but I don't think I've heard anything wrap up racism, stupidity and lack of self awareness together quite like that.

If some other radio boofhead made that joke you'd probably react like Luke Darcy. But when someone actually involved in the incident does it. FMD.

I don't know how some can be 100% one way or the other on this; I feel both sides have a tinge of underlying crazy, the same flavour of crazy that all women that own a horse have.

With key players Eddie and Heritier, and Sam interposing on the side, feels like I'm watching Kyrgios play Tomic while sitting next to Damir Dokic...hoping for a lengthy nil-all draw eventually stopped by injury before the guy next to me starts swinging and gets carried out.

eddie's defence of this (for the upteenth time) on Sam Newman's podcast was just pure bullshit. he legitimately started waffling on about "bert newton in the old days used to come out wearing a jumper", that was literally his defence. every "apology" you hear from him is pure waffle - he just purposely deflects from apologising because he isn't sorry, he is a racist like the man in charge before him, at a club proud of what it is. he rambles about something absurd like bert newton wearing a jumper, then says a bunch of aussie-isms like "yeah ah yeah nah you know how it is" and stupid boomers who can't think for themselves think it must be smart because they're too dumb to follow what he's really doing, being a cunning racist deceiver.

The genius of Ed Mcguire.

Long live the Dingbat.

A nil all draw in tennis?
That'd be a sight.

6 hours later, then backtracks a little. Wonder if anyone called some lawyers in

This is a double patty, bacon, sauce and beetroot nothing burger.

What I'm amazed at, is the amount of time the ABC is spending on this. Its more than they ever spend on regular AFL games now Adam Goode's is retired.

Never let the truth get in the way of a good story

 

[Rob]

He is rightfully getting ratioed over that.
Disgraceful thing to suggest in the first place.

 

[Lip Gallagher]

Well that's one way to stay relevant.

Strange coincidence.

Let’s be honest, a lefty human rights indigenous lawyer was never going to come to any other conclusion. Impartial? Pfft.

 

[ThatsjustDappa]

This is what happens when leadership is all at sea, this is going to go on through the off season and probably in the season proper.......

So you think there was no racism at the club? You agree with Eddie?

 

[Cotchins Hair Piece]

Stupid Yank.

 

[JimmyBC]

I don't know what to make of this situation anymore there's casual racism (not acceptable) but it's mixed with hyper sensitivity & foot in mouth disease in every direction.

 

[Baird]

Still don't know what Eddie did wrong
