Let us break this down for you:
A.
- Goodes was called an ape and snapped as in didn't like it and wanted to point out to security. Realised it was a young girl after he turned around but continued to proceed -
should have stopped when he realised it was a kid and handled it differently, he didn't
- Goodes used it as an opportunity to educate people about the situation -
and call her the face of racism in a planned media conference
- Goodes and this girl met and she apoligised, yes it was all over the media and that was unfortunate for her.
As she should have, and hopefully she learnt something, Adam Goodes is a media whore and should have known it would lead to a media frenzy.
- Goodes DID NOT grill her or press charges instead said this about her, that she is innocent, etc
what exactly would the charge be? Police wouldn't touch that with a barge pole, and what judge is going to penalise a 13 that had no idea it was racist?

- People try to excuse the situation by mentioning it's just a poor 13 year old girl who didn't know better and paint her has victim. BUT HELLO THAT IS THE WHOLE POINT GOODES IS TRYING TO MAKE HOLY **** --- so that in the future hopefully more parents and kids DO KNOW BETTER!!!
As he has said, people will be judged by their words and actions - he is being judged for his, and people don't like it because he used a 13 year old girl to further his cause with no regard for how it may have affected her.
B.
- Goodes did a tribal war dance to represent the under 16s on indigenous round after kicking a goal
Carlton fans perceived it to be a taunt as they had no idea what he was doing and they were offended. But that's ok because he didn't mean to offend them - ironic!
- If you are doing a tribal type of warrior dance obviously it would look somewhat intimidating not like a funny/light-hearted dance celebration
It was intended to incite the Carlton supporters and it did. He made a statement saying that if they booed he didn't care, so he knew it had the potential to be decisive so why do it?
- Carlton crowd booed more fair enough -
fair enough
- Media blew it up as something more strange, sinister, provocative -
Yes they did, but Adam Goodes is smart enough to have predicted that.
- Goodes explained himself that it was what it was, nothing provocative, that it was premeditated and a means of representation/pride which he was going to use in the indigenous all stars game but couldn't because he didn't play -
and if Carlton fans booed then so be it.
- People booed Goodes more every touch every week, WCE fans boo the loudest -
not fair and shouldn't have happened.
- Jetta joins in to show solidarity -
stupid thing to do as he should have known that it would add fuel to the fire.
- Goodes and club make it known that they believe there is racist elements in booing because it intensified due to the above racial incident(s) -
This is now key, the booing has to stop because if it wasn't intended to be racist before, now just simply knowing that he feels it is, is reason enough for it to stop.
- AFL and leaders of other clubs show solidarity -
Yes, and rightly so because it is now affecting someone in a way that was probably not ever intended by the booers.
C.
- After all this has come out if you continue to boo Goodes what you're essentially doing is supporting the racists.
Correct
- You are impacting on the mental health of a person and by extension aggrieving those that support him through a tricky political/social background
- Attempting to justify booing him form now on is moronic.
