I dunno mate, like I’d be pretty f*cking depressed if this happened to me on such a public level...
Alot of heroes on their high horse in here, but his messages just read like an uneducated naive lad who never learnt how to chat to girls properly. It’s actually a bit sad.
I think the whole...
I agree with you.
I just feel most people don't give credibility to the "I booed him because he was a dirty player" reason anymore in light of those two 2019 "pro-Goodes" (for lack of a better word) docos, when in fact it was a very legitimate and innocent reason before the booing frenzy...
Many people fail to understand that there were 2 separate stages to the booing saga - before and after Round 8 2015.
Up until Round 8 2015, the booing of Goodes was consistent with many players that play the game in a similar way. The booing was occasional and didn't happen every week.
Then...
The mistake Goodes (and many in the media) made was implying the booing he was receiving up until Round 8 2015 was due to racism.
There were very legitimate reasons why Goodes became a villain to many fans on the footy field (eg. sliding into tackles legs first, off the ball hits) and he lacked...
It is a common misconception that the booing saga started with the teenager ape incident though I feel (Round 9 2013). Any booing towards him between Round 9 2013 and Round 8 2015 (the Hawthorn game) was mostly a response to isolated in-game incidents IMO and wasn't anything noticeably sinister...
I just find the suggestion that the "I booed him because he was a dirty player!!" reason was purely a false front for a group of white supremacists to take down an indigenous man completely laughable.
Ultimately, I don't think Goodes deserved what he got. He made a stupid mistake and paid a...
My personal favourite is seeing people virtue signalling (mostly casual footy fans or people that don't follow footy at all) after watching a few Goodes docos last year.
Adam Goodes was an incredible player obviously and had developed somewhat of a "golden boy" image with his extensive list of...
Yeah I understand most teenagers would say racist/sexist/homophobic s**t, but I think posting it on social media just takes it to another level. Not many would be comfortable taking it that far.
Would you post something like that on social media?
I’m not excusing him of shooting Bambi, but he is still taking the piss out of another culture. We’re quickly finding out this kid may not have the greatest character.
Surprised journos are able to get away with hounding vulnerable people like this these days honestly.
Considering the outrage it always seems to create, how do these reporters not expose themselves to relentless cyber abuse/bullying? Surely that would be some deterrent.
Or does no-one ever...
