Response by footy’s elite to booing controversy is a little rich
Eddie McGuire, Nathan Buckley and anyone else pointing fingers at fans for booing on ANZAC Day need to have a good look in the mirror.

Buckley also contradicted himself by wanting fans to control their emotion during a presentation ceremony when he failed to curtail his.

Magpies president Eddie McGuire, while making it clear the Bomber fans weren’t targeting Pendlebury or his club, said it was time to “get past booing” and “get it out of the game”.

Worth a read.
Eddie who thought that Goodes could be used to promote King Kong the musical is now dictating the standard of a good society to the general population now.
I mean it's not like that comment was even a one off for him he has doubled and tripled down since then, probably more if I could be bothered to look into it. Maybe after his recent slip he just lets this one slide or passes it in to someone else to be fake outraged about it.
Meanwhile we should all support GAJ in spreading intolerance and ignorance because he is entitled to his free speech.
Regardless of your thoughts of booing in general or a specific times the general lack of insight or simple understanding and finding a worst case scenario to be outraged about by the media is remarkable

He's getting paid $500k a season, I'd be crying in my car too, just not from mental stress.

Hope he's over it now and in a better mental space.
I think getting paid more just makes you *feel* worse. At least for many people it does.

Definitely beats getting paid **** all and not being able to afford basic sbit though.

It certainly can. I have a feeling Mayne was suffering from imposter syndrome which makes sense being in a new club environment and being paid quite well.

The first thing most people know about Australian politics is that the people are pretty racist and we killed all the aborigines.
Technically, it was the British who killed all the aborigines.
