He is booed for his race. It sucks that there is that element but it is undeniable. Some boo because they don't like how he rolls but plenty jumped in to boo him because they feel it is a safe public place to boo an abo.
Do not agree with this "plenty jumped in to boo him because they feel it is a safe public place to boo an abo" BS...he sits on his high horse and thats the main reason the majority boo him.

'High horse' eh? You do realise how that sounds, don't you? Similar sentiments have been used for many, many years in attempts to stop those from minorities who are taking a stand against prejudice (see for eg. the use of 'uppity' http://www.thewire.com/politics/2011/11/yep-uppity-racist/45321/).

The simple fact is that some booed Goodes because he was black, some booed him because he was a very good player, some booed him because of the way he plays the game. However, after he took a stand against being abused because of his race, the booing intensified and has continued to do so ever since. There is no reason for it other than racism, whether it is explicit or implicit.

When the high horse is fighting for aboriginal rights and against racism....ah **** it, racists are never going to admit it as they know they are being silly fellows.

Not a lot of love for Freo on this board, not sure why that is, out of the final 4 they would probably be the most bearable for mine.

Order of preference:
Fremantle - Haven't won a flag yet, Pavlich deserves to go out a premiership player, still don't mind Pearce and Fyfe is a star.
West Coast - probably my second preference. Hoping for a derby GF but for freo to beat them. Something about the Eagles that remind me of the Crows.
Hawthorn - No thanks. They've had their fun, and their fair share of luck too in finals with a lot of close wins, especially in prelims.
North Melbourne - this would be the biggest joke ever if they won from 8th.

Can we all just let this one go now, every man and his dog on BF has spoken about this. He's retired now so it won't happen to him again.

There is nothing to gain from the 'why do people boo Goodes' argument anymore for any side of the argument, time to move on people

I want Freo to win, but North winning would be great too...for the lols, and to show that it CAN be done.

Just those racists seem to all disappear at any other time of year and game of footy. I didn't realise how selective these evil racists can be.

He for one was not helped by sooking to the AFL then the AFL labelling everyone racists which in turn meant he would get booed still as a **** you to the AFL.

No they don't. There's shit loads of racism at the footy.

I've got North at the top of my list. It would be epic.

Apparently an inner sanctum pic from the Crows rooms.

Note sure what sort of gen y crap this is, but if I was coach and I saw this crap on a wall I'd tear it down. Football isn't about fluffy stories, smiles and a comfortable environment, it's about determined grimaces, hard truths and pushing limits that you didn't even know you had.

Don't care whose footy club this is from, either way it is a horrible, horrible statement.

Step 1 of "lets try really shit things in an attempt to stop all our talent leaving every season"

Seriously, they would likely have been destroying the competition had they kept the talent.

I 'liked' that because it's so terrible. It's the epitome of cringeworthy.

Wow, that is cringeworthy and I'm from gen y (or z). Looks like someone from our... er morale team has been watching too much shounen lately. Perhaps though, behind that sign, the players are furiously pumping the weights to the smiles and death tunes from the hordes of hades.

The purpleness... I must be a freo supporter. And I'm out (for now), ease off the shotguns fellas.

Also says a lot about Capel if he honestly liked it - or is my sarcasm detector on the blink.
