Re: Does the AFL discriminate?
I have been sticking to what he said: "There was nothing untoward to the Carlton supporters. "
His intent goes to the question at hand.
I have seen a reference to it being based on an older aboriginal dance.

Re: Does the AFL discriminate?
Being that we are all "equal" he should have copped a fine for getting in the fans faces. I wouldn't have agreed but there is a precedent set.
Nah I don't reckon. I think its everyone bowing to what they feel they should be doing and saying.antman said:

Re: Does the AFL discriminate?
I would have thought the bird and the jail salute are offensive but the War Cry / Dance is actually entertaining and of cultural significance. Oh heck with it ...won't somebody please think of the white people? :'(

Re: Does the AFL discriminate?
This Adam Goodes saga was nothing but a ploy to raise the issue of discrimination and feed it into this week's multicultural round.
How much did Goodes get paid for this?

Re: Does the AFL discriminate?
I can only assume you're being deliberately obtuse to push an agenda. It was a cultural celebration. Why the reference to the indigenous round? Seriously? It was in the indigenous round.
It was encouraged because it's a celebration of culture, and one man was persecuted for it. It was a celebration, and the encouragement of it, which seems to have offended you so much, was an attempt to show the public that it was in fact a celebration of culture. Indigenous players were happy to dance for their history, and encouraged to do so, as they damn well should be. The AFL encouraged players to show the public that their heritage is not something to be confined to a societal safe zone, where people don't have to think too much about our country's indigenous culture. The AFL told them to be proud of who they are, and celebrate their people.
For you to somehow think that's the same as Ben Cousins flipping the bird, and should be treated as such, or otherwise be labelled 'discrimination' is absurd.
But you had already decided it was discrimination... discrimination against... something.
