This is good I'm glad you feel this way, the Crows are a quasi state side which is why you like them and find them non threatening as for Norwood they had their chance and lacked the balls to go for it.

It's called rivalry. Port and Crows hate each other as most crosstown rivals around the world do.
Whether the other teams and supporters love, hate or are indifferent to either of us doesn't really matter that much.

As a SA born and bred follower of a VIC team I don’t actually like either of the SA teams but I do respect Port more than the Crows which may seem strange as a lifelong Norwood man with family links to the club for generations but I do know plenty of other Norwood supporters who feel the same.
Because they are the bogan extreme of a bogan state.
At that's why I dislike them.
Second only to the evils.

Agree with this.
The best thing for the Crows was when Port came into the AFL
Rivalries make sport far more interesting...

A bigger deal out west.
What have Adelaide done in the last 6-7 years to deserve being more disliked than Port?

How about openly celebrating a racist?
Saying one racist thing doesn't make you a racist person. Means you're flawed.
No one has ever suggested Tex isn't a flawed person.
We all are.
Tackling racism (the collection of racist thoughts and actions throughout the whole of society) is the task.
If celebrating a footballers career and positive impact on people (young, old, all the charity work Tex has done) is no longer viable because of a moment in one's life of poor character, then I don't like where society is going either.
The AFC were celebrating his return to the side from his suspension for racial vilification.

Do you also notice how Port took away those people's memberships and excommunicated them from the club, whereas the Crows have continued to re-contract and celebrate Walker?

Bottom line is unfortunately racism has tarnished both clubs... yet you throw stones.
Port supporters have a far worse record when it comes to crowd behaviour, including towards your own coach this year!

The whole point wasn't the racism, rather the endorsement/celebration of the offenders. Which would be like if Port released a tribute video of those racist supporters and proudly said they are the most passionate in the league.
Ultimately good players survive scrutiny on matters such as these besides a few media articles. There's no material affect on career, or club endorsed celebration. It's just the way it is.

What is this endorsement or celebration of racism by the Crows you are suggesting?
Ridiculous...
Not an endorsement/celebration of the offence (the racist action), but the offender (Tex himself).
Did I expect him to be shunned? Of course not. He's a good player and was a Crows champion. If he was Johnny No Name his career probably would've been over. That's just the world we live in. Ethical consequences come after institutional success (i.e on field performance when it comes to AFL). Unless they're backed into such a corner where it can't be ignored. Tex's wrist slap served all parties.

Every club has idiot fans.
Only one club (not just in SA, but in the league) has a player who has made racist remarks on the field running around for them though. A player who they praise as a hero. That's the Crows and the Crows alone. Congratulations on that.
What a pathetic attempt at deflection this is.

Suggest you read the OP again as this is on topic!
Port supporters have a reputation of having a higher proportion of feral behaviour, including racism & booing their own players & coaches.
Sometimes you have tried to blame it on Cats supporters...
