Well the main point by hawks fan is that goodes slid in and almost broke gibsons right leg and almost rendered him a cripple. When it was nothing like that.
Did Goodes slide in feet first? Did Goodes injure Gibson? All you are doing is arguing semantics.
I would argue that Hawks supporters boo Goodes because they just don't like him as a footballer. They don't like Sydney, don't like CoLA, don't like his diving, don't like his sniping, don't like that he is perceived as protected by the AFL, dont like the knees first stuff, don't like he gets paid big ambassador payments direct from the AFL WHICH IS OUTSIDE THE CAP and simply do not like his public persona.
Think of this, Buddy left the hawks under free agency, went to the team who beat the Hawks in the 2012 grand final - rumour has it he started talking to the Swans straight after that loss, and he left for nothing. And he is aboriginal
Yet the hawks supporters boo Goodes louder
How do you extract racism from that.
Sometimes players just get boo'd. Buckley is a good example. He was perceived as arrogant, full of him self and surly, and he got boo'd. It happens. And the more you give this oxygen the more it will happen.
