Should just say 'keep booing as it is having a positive effect on Adam'
Should just say 'keep booing as it is having a positive effect on Adam'
I see the racists and white supremacists out in force on the Telegraph Sport's Facebook page thread.
Ironically these were the exact words that emblazoned the Collingwood banner in response to the Monkhorst - Long incident back in the early 90s, which in part led to the racial vilification code.
The term 'political correctness' incidentally has become a tired old clich�. The political climate has changed dramatically since the origins of this term. I would argue that to be politically correct these days you would need to have an issue with minority groups, blame the victim, and champion the coal industry.
It's very hard to live in a studio apartment in San Jose with a man who's learning to play violin. That's what she told the police when she handed them the empty revolver.

Goodes booig is a complex issue.
Some say they boo because he stages and slides. In reality he does this no more than any other player but some years ago there was a media campain against hin, led by the KKK Eddie, to highlight his actio ...which was racially motivated.
So, racist beeds racism.
This is what he is standing up for .

Macca wades into the debate.
So true !!
I was determined to ignore the negative comments on this subject but some of the comments on fb after Saturday night's game really made my blood boil. So (and I'm not proud of this) I weighed in with some hefty words of my own, which won't make a zot of difference, but the unfair comments and even lies are just too much to ignore. How Adam is doing it I just don't know, but I think all of us at the games should show the rest of the AFL world that we stand behind him. The "Goodsey" chant was fantastic and clearly heard on tv. I hope it continues for the rest of the season.
I've tried defending Goodes over Facebook too, but it's just not worth it anymore. It all falls on deaf ears, and it's just the same BS excuses each time.
Cheering everytime Goodesy gets the ball is the best thing to do and hopefully the booing will stop receiving so much damn coverage.
The thing that keeps worrying me is when imagining IF we happen to win the flag, and Goodesy gets booed while receiving his Premiership medallion... that would be such a sad state for AFL and Australia as a whole.
I like Rohan Connolly's tweet.

I think it would be a great day for Australia. Let the light shine on what a racist country this is for all the world to see. Maybe this is only way to make any inroads on this terrible blight on this country.
Something to really look forward to.
