AFL Fans Very Accepting of Indigenous Culture

[docker24]

Bazza and Bucks used to get booed heaps from other teams.

Plenty of well known players over the years have been booed, a lot of them white, is that racist too?

Best chant I heard was Sydney vs port at SCG years back.

"His bald, his queer, he takes it up the rear, Barryyyyy Hallll, Barrryyy Hallll"

I follow Port, had the top on and was quite embarrassed that day, some Port fans are racist and Homophobic, but only a small group which makes us all look bad.

It's unprecedented for goodes and it's begun happening directly after he made a stand against the lil racist girl. Fact is Literally thousands of AFL fans took to social media and said he shouldn't have hurt that poor lik racist girl.

utter rot based on nothing but your imagination

It's those AFL fans, and their followers who sound like Xman and wookie who are the ones booing to unprecedented levels. It's poor form.

fans can and will boo who ever they want irrespective of what the players race. Are you going to outlaw booing?

Comon wookie and Xman, stop supporting the racists and say no to booing goodesy because he took a stand against a lil racist white girl.

how is claiming their booing isnt racially based supporting racists?

Ok I will then, I just got carried away. Can you please show me a threads that stick to the topic the entire time?

Anyway back on topic, you have crazy assumptions, that's it, how can you assume goodes gets booed because of the colour of his skin and/or his culture. Sure there will a small minority in the AFL that are racist, but nothing to worry about.

Goodes gets booed for his style of play which some people doesn't like, personality and milking penalties. I have been to heaps of his games and I don't see any signs of racism amongst other supporting teams.

If it is racism, can you tell me which other indigenous player over the years has been booed due to racism? Don't start with Nicky. other then him. Indigenous legends such as, Long, Micky and Gavin got cheered.

Maybe I'm wrong, maybe it was millions that took to social media to suggest goodes shouldn't have stood up against that racist girl the way he did?

Xman answer this so the members know where you're coming from.

Do you or do you not think goodes went about bringing that little girls racist comment to national attention was a good thing?

theres a huge difference between disagreeing with the way he singled out the teenage girl and booing him for it for the next few years. Personally I didnt have an issue with the way he handled it, but others may feel he was a bit over the top in the way he made an example of a naive teenager.

Swinesy it's not simply about booing me soldier. It's about booing enmasse every time he gets the ball. It's unprecedented for goodes and it's begun happening directly after he made a stand against the lil racist girl. Fact is Literally thousands of AFL fans took to social media and said he shouldn't have hurt that poor lik racist girl.

Or do you think goodes is just a real dirty player swines? If we go by the amount of booing goodes would have to be about the dirtiest ever player to play the game if we take wookies analysis of this woeful behaviour. You think goodes is the dirtiest of all times swines? Or up there?



Comon wookie and Xman, stop supporting the racists and say no to booing goodesy because he took a stand against a lil racist white girl.

Then why have they booed, Carey, Selwood, Milne, Akermanis, Judd etc etc????? If your argument is right then every indigenous players would be booed - Franklin, Jetts, Rioli, Betts, Hill etc etc but they don't - trying to twist things to suit your argument doesn't make your argument right - just makes you look foolish. You know very little about AFL culture if you don't accept other good players have traditionally been booed and are booed. It has nothing to do with race.

[docker24]

I think Carey because he rooted with his teammates wife at a bbq lol.

Akermanis was booed heaps. But an awesome sharp angle goal kicker.

Yep players the opposition love to hate! Might start booing Fyfe actually - always try's to break tackles and NEVER gets pinged! He's looked after by the ump's!

Some others



And here we have it folks. It was thousands upon thousands of AFL supporters who stood by that lil girl and eddies follow up comments on radio, rather than Adam goodes in this situation. Xman continues to support their stance in support of Eddie and the lil racist girl. Fact of the matter is goodes is within his rights to react and he reacted admirably and thus caused more hatred toward him. Again wookies right, this isn't about race. It's about protecting the freedom to be racist, and get away with it just like Eddie did and continues to do.

This has been going on and is the impetus behind the increased booing, not his playing style which having seen him play over the past ten years has not changed significantly at all.

If anyone has a prob with the way goodes is reacting they should refocus on what's wrong with that lil racist girl instead and why racist Eddie continues to sit pretty making millions a year while making racist gaffes, not on goodes as Xman is doing in this thread, along with thousands of other AFL fans.

It's deplorable behaviour of those with narrow minds. Boooooo.

So now it was thousands, not millions...... :_<> What were Eddie's comments by the way?

Xman continues to support their stance in support of Eddie and the lil racist girl

How am I supporting them? All I've said is people who boo Goodes arent racists, they just dont like sniping diving brownlow medalists. Your ability to tell blatant lies is staggering

Fact of the matter is goodes is within his rights to react and he reacted admirably and thus caused more hatred toward him

Sure he's within his rights, however if people disagree with the way he handled it, it doesnt mean they are racist. I disagree with how he used his indigenous celebration dance. Am I racist?

This has been going on and is the impetus behind the increased booing, not his playing style which having seen him play over the past ten years has not changed significantly at all.

and again you make this claim without any basis of fact or proof

If anyone has a prob with the way goodes is reacting they should refocus on what's wrong with that lil racist girl instead and why racist Eddie continues to sit pretty making millions a year while making racist gaffes, not on goodes as Xman is doing in this thread, along with thousands of other AFL fans.

The girl was roundly admonished, no one agreed with her behaviour. A few may have disagreed with the way she was admonished, but she won no support for her actions. I cannot see for the life of me why this would make people boo Goodes any more than before, and so far you have failed to prove this ludicrous claim

[King-Eliagh]

Oh dear this is tedious working with an imbecile. Particularly one who doesn't understand racism but thinks he does, as a tool who has likely never experienced it himself.

Are you or are you not aware of the social media response against goodes standing against the girl?

Are you or are you not aware of eddies comments and the social media response in support of eddies comments as fine?

Do you seriously think that not one of these people has begun booing goodes on field because of their stance on the above two issues? Actually, I already know the answer to that! You do!

Dumber than a plank of rotten wood this one folks.

Do you think

firstly, can you enlighten me on comments McGuire made supporting the teenage girl and not Goodes' stance

secondly, you cannot assume that people who disagreed with Goodes' reaction would then commence a 2 year campaign to attend AFL games and boo him. He was unpopular before this incident.

Furthermore, even if people are booing him because of the way he reacted, and not issue specifically, this is not racism. If they were booing him to support the girl's comments then that would be racism

Eddie never said anything supporting the girls comments - in fact he actually arranged for counselling and for her to meet Goodes. What he did was crack a joke at Goodes expense about King Kong when the musical was playing in Melb - Eddie is not racist just stupid - KE your agenda to prove every AFL support as a racist really is stupid even for you to make such generalised comments. Are you calling all the Greek, Italian, Asian fans racist - saw plenty of those nationalities booing Goodes at the MCG when Sydney played the Hawks last year. Or is it just Anglo Saxon fans??? That in itself is racist!

[leagueiscrap]

Akermanis was booed heaps. But an awesome sharp angle goal kicker.

aparently it was one of his best mates misses!
but if Stevens was aboriginal it would of been called a racist act
