Price of fish?Sure, but the left are casting Setka out.
Oh, even better. What was one of them?It's more of a collection of things over time that formed my opinion rather than any specific examples.

What doco are you talking about?So the documentary was written by journalist Stan Grant.
Here he is back on the 30th July 2015

Stan Grant: I can tell you how Adam Goodes feels. Every Indigenous person has felt it
Estranged in the land of our ancestors, living on the fringes of a rich society – parse your words, but we see only race in the attacks on AFL player Adam Goodes
What doco are you talking about?
Yep but I don’t get it - grant isn’t on any of the film’s credits on their website.see thread title

Can't speak for others but I don't think everyone who booed was racist and I don't see many on here that are claiming that. Yet a lot keep on going back to that as part of some counterargument but it's misrepresentation.
I think the backlash against Goodes was made up of a lot of things but I think racism was well and truly in the mix.
Ultimately I'm just sad that a champion of the game was treated in the way that he was considering the respect I have for him and the enjoyment I've received in following his career.
Plenty on here have commented on how Adam Goodes is such an intelligent and lovely person. So when Goodes started to realise that he was slowing a bit, getting on and what he could bring into his game to improve he came up with a brilliant idea. When seeing a 50/50 ball in dispute situation he started to slide in with his feet/knees/legs first, take out the opponents legs/body, get the ball and then dish it out to a team mate. While being protected by his +100kg frame, by his knees/legs sticking out on impact and while having no duty of care if he snaps the opponents legs or worse collide into their head while it’s over the ball. No skin off his nose. Gutless.
Far from clever not to consider that opposition supporters would start to boo him ..... massive oversight. He should have expected what was coming from opposition supporters by adopting such an extremely dangerous and dirty tactic. Big believer in life that everyone is responsible for their own actions and Goodes brought it upon himself. If the booing effected his mental health he needed to take time off to seek professional help no different to anyone else in the community. Compared to the average person Goodes would have much better access and the best support from the medical fraternity.
Goodes slid in on a St Kilda player and once on his knees towards a Port player who was sliding studs up towards Goodes. Hardly the genius plan you're describing.

Except that whole post was just some imaginary narrative you made up in your head. Don't sit there and tell me that was Goodes' conscious thought process. Tin foil hat stuff.Plenty on here have commented on how Adam Goodes is such an intelligent and lovely person.

You can imagine Goodesy twirling his moustache while he thought it up. Then right after he tied Cyril to the train tracks and laughed maniacally.Anything to justify their booing. Honestly, that sensory rich description of an EVIL GENUIS PLAN to become a EVIL KNEE SLIDER.
Let's not forget he wasn't just booed, and the boos continued once he was called a monkey by a teenage girl.

Who called an indigenous player an ape. Seriously racist comment. On indigenous round nonetheless. Are you horrified at the level of ignorance? Are you proud of how far we have come?So?
Let's also be a bit more accurate, a 13 year old girl.

Not sure Goodsey requested a birth certificate before pointing her out. Proud indigenous man gets called an ape during indigenous round of all rounds, decides not to cop it and instinctively reacts to it by pointing her out to security.So?

Yet someone called that out and plenty of posters on this board don’t seem bothered by that. They seem bothered by Goode beings a ‘flog’ ( gets free kicks, is a sook etc ) but not by a racist comment- so nope, not far enough by a long shot.How far have we come? We have indigenous round

Next day not less than 28 times in one interview he deflects any blame towards the girl.
Some people might not like it, sure, but does that mean sport should never be political?
