Squiggle tips Demons at 77% chance -- What's your tip? -- Team line-ups »
Def outrage culture, pickled with self discontent projected outwards, salted with fake superiority, basted with a counter equally flawed ideology.Honest question for posters in this thread, how personally aggrieved are you by Ablett pressing 'like' on a social media post? One that he even went as far as to remove and give a valid explanation as to his reasoning for why he did it. Just a rating out of /10. For example, maybe the more sensitive Hawthorn supporters on Monday would give a solid 7/10 on the personal aggrievement front.
I'm genuinely curious if this is a real issue or just outrage culture at it again. Let's do it for science guys!
Exactly- and in fact there are supporters in both the hawks and the pies camp who are longtime fans of booing. They boo Ablett every game from his first touch, they boo opposition players when they line up for a shot on goal, they booed Menzel when he did his knee, they boo Selwood a bit, they boo the umps. It’s just what they do. I have grown used to it over the years- doesn’t bother me. Good luck to them.See, now I feel like I’ve lived in an alternate universe to some people. He absolutely WAS booed the same way in the same game last year. I was there and laughing at it. Not to say none of the boos in Monday were inspired by the Barrett-led media stoking but people acting loke Ablett is never booed is very confusing to me, having seen him booed constantly.
Most likely booed due to liking a post by an out and loud sports bigot
What I found weird is that not once did AFL 360 discuss Ablett liking that post. I watched all 3 episodes on the week it happened and they essentially ignored it. I could not believe they did either as it was a pretty big story at the time.

I guess you have no issue with Pendles being boo then?I'd thought so too. s**t effort by Ablett liking the post and even shittier was the bullshit excuse bandied around defending his s**t actions.
I hope Ablett has a gay child.
Are you suggesting the AFL should have sacked or fined Ablett for liking a post? Unbelievablebecause its not in the AFLs best interest to draw attention to this, otherwise they'd be forced to make a tough call. At least the NRL has balls. They'll strip a team of a premiership for cheating, the AFL just ignores it and doesn't want to ruin is "perfect" image.
Humans also invented sports which give a sense of comfort and enjoyment. Religion provides the same to thing to those that believe. Besides, we are all brainwashed to a certain degree.
I've never understood why people can't understand how religion provides a path for some people through this mystery called life. I mean you can say God is mythical, but that is a really naive statement. From a scientific perspective, we haven't even scratched the surface on our understanding of consciousness. Is God real or not? Who really knows. But to say it's a myth is just silly.
I'm guessing you are one of those types of people who parade the ideology of diversity and inclusivity. Your comments above really don't match up with this.
Does anyone admit to booing? To me, it's like a 40 year admitting that he still lives with his mother...

Yeah... This.1. Booing is good
2. Gary's a sook
3. Who cares

I hope Ablett has a gay child.
Or a grown adult that admits to liking superhero films, Harry Potter and Star Wars
But what would that have to do with him playing a game of footy?If Pendles is a bigot too, then yes, I have no issues with booing him.
Shame this weekend’s game isn’t being played in Perth; would have been booed into next week and we still wouldn’t be sure why.
There's a girl at work who I would be pleased to have sex with and her boyfriend is 40 years old, lives with his mother and dresses up in storm troopers costumes and goes to star wars parties. She told me that his mother still wipes his bum... not sure if he boos. He's welsh so I suppose I really shouldnt bag him..
That sound you’re hearing is the joke whooshing over your head.Stop being a victim
