Are you refuting any of the points I made, if so id be interested to hear which ones? Does he not seem to jump the opportunity to make things about him being Aboriginal ? Does he have a tendency to divide the communities? Does he have a fairly aggressive approach to combating racism? I mean, for real, in the past week he has made him being booed a race thing, and then divided the community with an unnecessary goal celebration.
He is using his high profile to make a stand, as have many challengers in sport in the past. We cant continue to think the way we do about our indigenous, they still have no voice in our community and when they do, they are lambasted for it. They are hurting immensely and yet we are doing nothing to inspire them as a collective nation.
And so he is using his profile to do something, to inspire and represent and get the message across. And people still miss the ****en point he is making by concentrating on his facets of his character which then dilutes the message thus forcing Adam to make even bigger points.
If we actually change our attitudes towards indigenous in all aspects and not just celebrate them for them entertaining us on a footy field then we wouldn't have Adam Goodes at all.
As it stands he needs to be a vocal voice for his people and being high profile he feels its his duty, why do we need to pass such nasty judgements towards him?
I understand that people dont like players who have torn their sides up, but we dont boo Chris Judd in 2015 for almost poking out another players eyes almost 5 or 6 years ago yet people are holding onto something he did in round 6 2004 or whatever year it was as justification for their booing. It doesn't make sense to a lot of people except that its driven by his stand on racism.
I havent heard Chris Judd boo'd in years ffs.
