Andrew bolt was one the 7.30 report expressed some good point. Especially why did Goodes do the war dance, which incites violence, when instead he could have done something like the lizard crawl which gerrad inglis does.

That wouldn't change a damn thing and you know it, the same racists would still find a way to be offended by it.

For the people who think Goodes should shut up- I assume you would not mind seeing Australia's 2100 population be made up of 90% Chinese and Mandarin become the official language and communism the political system ? Because that is the sort of domination the the Indigenous have faced, without a hint of exaggeration.
...wtf

Why do fans boo when opposition line up for goal?
Because they think it helps them miss.

Fans barrack hard for their teams but rarely have a chance to make a difference.

Adam Goodes has proven that booing him affects his performance, to the point where he will not even play.

As opposition, why the hell wouldn't you boo?!
Because it's getting to him outside the oval. I want to put him off within the arena, but I don't wish any ill upon a sportsman outside the arena. I mean that's taking it too far.

I'm not a racist but, here's something Andrew Bolt wrote which supports my argument. Good job.
Becuase his opinion is different than yours he is a racist. FFS mate really. Just because people are not of the same thoughts as you doen;t make them a racist. You really are beyond it you know. You are very un-Australian because you do not support someone else having their own opinion.

I'd hardly say people think Bolt is racist because he has a differing opinion. They think he's racist because 99% of his comments about indigenous people or those with a brown complexion are negative. And he denies the Stolen Generations happened. And he faced court for writing sarcastic columns full of mistruths claiming that indigenous people were only claiming aboriginal heritage because it got them arts grants...

Yesterday commentators were saying that even though it may not be proven to be racist it is considered extreme bullying and should stop. My point is where wee these commentators defending someone like Milne who spent his whole career under more extreme bullying?

Everyone wonders why soccer is making ground on AFL in this country. Maybe it's because fans aren't allowed to do anything these days at AFL matches......if it was monkey chanting or racial, sexual or religious chanting I could cop it. But it's not, it's booing for **** sake.
So because people didn't stand up for someone in the past, they shouldn't now?
