It may be for some. For others it may have nothing to do with it. Certainly painting all booers with a broad stroke of being racist isn't the answer. I don't boo any player. Never have. Just don't get it. But sadly, I now find myself hoping that people keep booing Goodes only for the simple reason that I'd hate to see this propaganda campaign actually have an effect on people. This is the stuff of thought-police and I think it's far scarier than people booing a footy player.
May... I go far as to say for the majority his skin colour absolutely has nothing to do with it. Couldn't agree more on your post. Thought policing
I can understand people wanting it to stop. But if this ultra PC pleading and attempted labeling campaign to stop booing of one player alone, if that sees segments of crowds being considered racist by the broader public and in the footy community, that is just a really sad state of affairs and with crowd figures already waning you may drive even more people away who fund the industry.
I find it really disingenuous how people are using other indigenous players as a shield too. Saying if you boo Adam Goodes you are booing players on your own team. That's some manipulating nonsense and arguably racist in itself to lump them all together. Indigenous people aren't a hive mind even if some do vocally support Adam Goodes not being bood.
If Michael Walters were to get on TV and says its racial whats happening and it must stop, even if he says he takes personal offence, I'll consider him to be as wrong about the situation, and as irrational about it as anyone else asserting such a fallacy.
