nailed it
watching it live, i didn't realise she was 13 either. i thought it was an older lady going mental. it wasn't until they released she was a child that i realised.
now imagine you are goodes, in the moment, how is he to know?
tbh one thing i do think happened is that goodes knew he regularly copped racism when playing from the crowd. i think he knew it was going to happen coming into the game. i think he knew he was going to make a stand the first moment he copped it and he did. he reacted. without realising who did it. then he had to take that on. he obviousy was very shaken up by it, given he left the ground.
Goodes had every right to call out racism toward him
His actions afterwards towards her and his grandstanding then the usual favouritism when he incited the crowd was a huge reason.
But obviously virtue signalling will make sure George and I are eventually call racists in this conversation.
I find it interesting the calling out of racism by other indigenous and Sudanese hasnt been greeted with resounding booing, and the response to this is racial slurs in the inference these people are somehow subservient lickspittles to whites ( say that to David Wirripunda, Michael Long or Majak Daw to their faces, see where that gets you), or their stances against racism wasn't somehow as worthy as Goodes.
So who booed Nicky after he lifted his jumper. The greatest anti racism photo in Australian history. Hmmmm.
Really disappointing that the outrage industry got hold of this and shouted down any other more nuanced views.
Easier to scream RACIST!!! at everyone I suppose.
