WTF is the OP on about???? Ablett has been booed at for the last 2-3 years. Collingwood fan base seems to be better at it.....

Can't tell with WC though, they boo everything so that it moulds into one long booooooooooooooo for 4 quarters....
Its the echo in the new stadium honest

Even though many religious people have begun to accept homosexuality, it's well known that many religions still teach and believe homosexuality is a sin. Should all religious people be booed?

This is a hot topic we should all be talking about. Gary Ablett was booed because of twitter and not a stadium full of hawks fans.

Discuss
So why did they do it last year then?

Gets booed as he is a spoilt brat who showed no loyalty leaving Geelong for megabucks then cried to get back to Geelong. Stages for frees throws his arms about at umpires no wonder every other side can't stand him.
Utter nonsense. He came back to be closer to his family, one of which was seriously ill.
Unfortunately he could not get back before his sister OD'd and died.
I’m pretty sure I remember Collingwood fans loudly booing him a few weeks ago. Well before the Folau stuff.

Hawks fans I know reckon they’ve been booing him for ages as well.

Prettt funny if they’re booing him for being a jet.
Hence why the muppets on this board excuse today that it's the Folau storm in a teacup is utter tosh.
They've booed him for years. Who knows why, given up trying to unravel the warped logic of a Hawk brain.

What the ****? You think he's just being heckled for his religion? Never heard McPharlin/Yze/Houli boo'd about it.

I don’t know.

Similar thing happens with LeBron in the NBA when he plays in Boston and he has regularly torched them. Seems like it’s just stupid fan banter.

Personally don’t get why anyone cares a great deal. Commentators make a big deal out of absolutely nothing.

Basically proves that Hawthorn supporters weren't racist when the boo'd Goodes. They just don't like knobs

Religion is not an excuse for being extremely homophobic. I know a number of people who identify as Christians who believe gay people should be treated equally. Ablett and Kennedy are both filled with hate and they have no excuses for their abhorrent views.

Everyone knows the real reason he gets booed is becaue he shoved his team mates at the Gold Coast and told then that ‘you give the ball to me whenever I want it no matter the state of the game’, seagull of the highest order in getting his possessions and is a selfish flog. Injured so much at Gold Coast and yet still played to massage his own ego in the mirror. Any other theory’s are hyperbole

Goodes was being booed because he wanted equality, Ablett is being booed because he believes one group deserves to burn for eternity. I think booing of Ablett is progress.

True, but as I said, many sections of many religions still believe and teach homosexuality is a sin. Followers of these faiths may not express it in the public domain, but the view is still there.
