You reckon the AFL would leak the story of Goodesy declining so as to pressure him to accept?
How do you think Goodesy would take that?
What?
I said ‘the future’. Not ‘right now’.

When thousands of spectators are booing an Indigenous player every week, and it's clear that he perceives it as racially motivated and would like it to stop, and you keep doing it anyway, then yeah, that makes you a racist.Is it? What if there was a different motivation?
If a person who is indigenous tells you to stop something, but you don't stop, are you racist?

How will they know?
Will you hold up a big sign?
More insults ...When thousands of spectators are booing an Indigenous player every week, and it's clear that he perceives it as racially motivated and would like it to stop, and you keep doing it anyway, then yeah, that makes you a racist.
You also seem like a bit of a half-wit, if it helps.
More insults ...
yer because people need to be warned that they might get booed if they do slide tackle, play for frees, grab blokes on the balls....
Do you want them to withdraw it.Offering it…
Oh. Annually.
Fair comment. Trying to avoid the whole "Adam is good/bad" thing here but it appears that Adam's views on the AFL as an organisation are clear. From a positive perspective, the AFL declaring him on may be send a message that "whilst we know what you think of us, we would like you to know that we respect your contribution to the game". If the AFL framed it in that fashion it may negate the perception in your post - hopefully.But do you think that would be seen as insensitive and arrogant?

...my point is that you have no more insight into the truth of this instance of mob behaviour than anyone.
Racist actions are actions that denigrate or hurt another on the basis of their race.
But in an analysis of mob behaviour, everyone is ignoring perspectives and championing the ones that suit their argument, because, by definition, no-one can state for sure the motivations of every participant.Sure. I think the ultimate truth is hidden from us all, but making room for ambiguous variables allows a more whole perspective than ignoring them.
The law is wrong. It should always be about intent. wokesters have too much power in our politics. It’s up to the so called victim to understand the intent before figuring out whether they are a victim.The debate around whether or not the booing was racists misses the point of the workplace laws we all work under when at work, and that it isn't the intent of the person making the comment that matters but how the person hearing or seeing it feels about it that matters, and because of that, while I don't believe the booing was entirely racist but Adam Goodes felt it was and the law says that is how he felt about it, and we being in his workplace should have accepted it.
The Liberal Party have been in power for the best part of thirty years, "woke" as you idiots love to call being thoughtful and empathetic is the least of this country's problems.The law is wrong.

people who are nuts can always think they are a victim regardless of what happens.
We are talking about a policy which is clearly wrong. Why are you talking about other stuff?The Liberal Party have been in power for the best part of thirty years, "woke" as you idiots love to call being thoughtful and empathetic is the least of this country's problems.
No woke is used to define progressive people who follow identitarian ideology as developed by certain academics. A racist and sexist group of people who believe race and sex is important for your identity rather then behaviours, beliefs and values. Their goal isn’t to end racism but to simply shift power from one race to the next. They are a very distinct group of people from other lefties such as classical lefties and socialists.Woke is just the current right wing, virtue signalling buzz word anyway. A year or so ago anyone defending Goodes would have been described as a dreaded Social Justice Warrior who after briefly being a leading threat to global stability have all but disappeared off the planet like they never existed.
