AFL player named Aussie of the year

[Jez]

He didnt win because he is a sportsman. He won because of his actions as an indigenous Australian

How do you think he compares to Fred Chaney who was awarded the Senior Australian Of The Year in relation to accomplishments over a lifetime for the indigenous population.

If your comparing the two I would have thought that Fred Chaney was more worthy of the Australian of the Year.

Bullshit. Chaney's work - although admirable - hasn't had the profound effect of Goodes.

yes
Chaney restoring the sight of tens of thousands of indigenous Australians .... also thousands of others in the 3rd world making him a near God in this places

isn't comparable to this Allan Gerds bloke being called an ape by racist fumblers & crying about it... is it ?
this is the most embarrassing decision for Australian of the year since day one

if it wasn't so pathetic , tragic & down right wrong
it would be funny ... & a joke

A bit of respect wouldn't go astray mate. Racism is a massive issue in our country, if not the biggest, and Goodes has done a great deal to bring it into the spotlight. All the people nominated were champs and all worthy winners but Adam got the gong and good on him. We should all be happy for the bloke.

Theres a lot of people done south that havnt even meet an aboriginal person..if everyone were to spend even just 6months in community it would do this country a lot of good. So many ignorant uniformed attitudes out there!

Why didn't he take McChins on.
It was a fucking disgrace that he towed the AFL company line & let them handle it(WET LETTUCE LEAF).

He had the perfect opportunity to make a stance(& he would have been backed by everyone except Collingwood fans)to really address Racism problems,from those high up in the community,not just young uneducated girls.
He chose not to .

Makes a mockery of his claim of wanting to stamp out Racism.


You cant be selective. .

Not an NRL vs AFL thing at all, it's a bloody joke.

I just think it is a shame some people have to find a negative just cause an AFL player got the award . If it was an nrl player the same people would be championing it solely cause of the sport he plays. Guys, you have to get over this obsession. It would be great to hear something positive about AFL from these types to show they aren't blind with hatred

!

done a great deal :_<> :_<>
what ?
point his finger at a teenage girl ?
yet suddenly clam up & lose his nerve when racially abused a week later by a fact racist turd ... Eddie Mc Fatarse ?


real tough aint he ?

he was told not to make an issue out of it because it was Mr Eddie McRacist & Collingdon & it would embarrass his code even further
so he did do nothing

disgusting
gutless

he is a disgrace to his people not a hero

this is one of the worst decisions I can recall
& an embarrassment

oh fuck off you deluded bubble dwelling shithead

there'd be 500 people more worthy of the award then this fumbling fraud , & none of them RL players ...... end of

I see he was named nsw Australian of the year in November too. As I said, these things are always debatable but seems he has a foundation that supports young aboriginal youth with work and stuff. I think he accepted an apology from Eddie by the way as well as from the young girl. In fact, I think he did a good job asking people not to drag that 13 year old through the media and spoke with her personally. So let's just accept he does some good and that this must be significant enough to warrant two organizations to bestow such prestigious awards on him.

NO sportsperson should get the award.
It should be given to those less paid,out of the spotlight people who work tirelessly to better humanity.
& especially someone who Is supposed to be fighting against Racism & is quick to point the finger at an uneducated 13 yr old ,yet did NOTHING when an AFL boss made a racist joke about him .

His priorities are wrong.
AFL first
Fight Racism 2nd.

& by the look of Big footy ,plenty agree with me..

[Fred]

You've for problems AFL crapper ... Just congratulate the bloke and move on.

[Fred]

If you researched the whole thing as you seem to do everything else you'd know what you say is wrong

Fuck off .
NO sportsperson should get it.
& I have researched it ,
& he was quick to point the finger at a 13 yr old .
Then he softened his stance when he realised that she was young & uneducated.

Then an AFL boss makes a racist joke ,he did nothing.
Makes a mockery of his stance against Racism.

The simple fact is you cant be selective

[AFLcrap1]

You cant seem to accept the fact that people don't think a sportsperson is worthy..
Plenty think like that.

Then again you support Collingwood so saying anything bad against the fat racist ***** would not sit well with you.

I think Goodes saw McGuires comment for what it was, a stupid mistake but certainly not a deliberate racist comment

The Victorian way .
Anyone associated with Fumblebal ,gets lenient treatment by all .
The higher up you are the more free passes you get.

Disgusting culture.
