"You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."
As an opposition supporter - its now to the point that it is getting to him and that is why it keeps going. Why did it start, I think all of the issues are covered in the previous posts. For the record I didn't Boo him at the recent Swans v Hawks game but I don't like him either. (Don't like him but can still recognise him as a champion player)
Carn the Southern Power.....
Drugs and racism are now symbols of our game whether we like it or not.
That why 99,000 turn up to watch soccer instead.
The booing has obviously affected Jetta (he said his dance was in support of Goodes). I do wonder how many others in our team are impacted by it as well? It can't be positive for team morale.
All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. - Edmund Burke
The AFL is spineless. Even their CEO refuses to acknowledge the booing is racially motivated. They are not alone though, the clubs and other players who have made an art form of blah-ing on endlessly about character and leadership show absolutely none of it when it really counts. The staging accusation is just making apologies for the bigots. There aren't too many saints out there on the field when it comes to trying to gain an advantage.
How Goodsey puts up with the booing with this week after week is beyond me. If he does retire at the end of the year (and
I really hope he doesn't because he is clearly in our best 15, let alone 22) it's hard to imagine his decision won't be influenced by the fact that many footy fans just don't like intelligent, articulate and proud black people.
The southern states (cities) (adeliade/melb and perth) are known for their racism. whats new.
AFL CEO Gillon McLachlan backs Lewis Jetta's war dance, calls for end to Adam Goodes' booing
The comments make me gag
Chillin' with the strange Quarks
It's racism. Especially him speaking out as Australian of the year.
Those who have the greatest power to hurt us are those we love.
One thing: does anyone know how to get messages to Jetta via the club to say bravo
