Re: Adam Goodes

I hope those that have booed a champion player off the park are pleased with themselves. *smile* me. ???
Geez this really annoys me.
I've booed Goodes because I don't like - and never have - how he plays the game.
Like Matthew Lloyd (who I also booed) he's a stager.
He also had a habit of going into packs feet and knees first. A low act IMO.
It's his behaviour on the field that I dislike.
Nothing to do with colour.
BTW - I never boo Buddy, Cyril, or a host of others as they have my respect.
But I do boo that white fella Selwood for reasons that should be obvious.
Just sayin'

Hounded out of the game and booed off the park seem a tad presumptuous at this stage. We'll see if Adam plays again. I wonder why they choose to keep playing this though the media. He could have had a couple of days off and nobody would be the wiser. I can't see publicly broadcasting it helping the situation in any way. Adam needs to have a look at his own behaviour too. He was happy to get in the supporters' faces but can't handle copping it back. He stages and dives. He singled out a 13yo girl as the face of racism. I wonder if he's given any thought to how his own behaviour has contributed to this ordinary situation. Unfortunately things sometimes work both ways.
Adam said of course his dance and pretend spearing was done in anger and that it was war. Seems he was aware there could be negative consequences to his behaviour. Sometimes you reap what you sow.

At 13, she should know better. I have no problem with her being singled out. At what age is it acceptable to expect common decency?
Even if you feel the right to boo him for the right reasons, you are giving cover for those that don't. So don't. If you don't boo you can't be confused with racists.
One arguing with a idiot, from a distance it's hard to tell who is who. Same applies here with the booing.
This entire saga is a disgrace. Blight on society and shows how truly far we have to go.
I do know you Rosy... You are rosy23 and you are one of the most prolific posters on PRE. Also a mod.rosy23 said:
You do great work and you have single handedly kept this site going for years.
And I'm fine with booing anyone. It's your right and there is nothing I can do about it. But the booing of Adam Goodes is no longer about his football or Aussie of the year. Its about his colour.
So my judging and booing the people that are booing Adam Goodes is my right and there is nothing you can do about that...
Re: Re: Round 17 - other games
There is nothing imaginary about it.
If Goodes was not indigenous and had not been an outspoken australian-of-the-year, this would not be happening.

You don't know me.
Thank you.
Some are claiming it is racist because of Adam being Aussie of the Year.
You are wrong in regards to nothing I can do about individual people on here being called racist. I couldn't care less what you do in your private life life but it's not acceptable on here.
