It was when it was Adam Goodes being booed, which was amazing that he was the only aboriginal player in the entire competition getting booed and he had other aboriginal lads in his team ie Jetta and NONE OF THEM were booed.

Goodes was booed because he became a cheating sniping whinging prick.

Another instance where stupidity and faux outrage cited division over nothing that had anything to do with racism.

Wasnt booed because he was aboriginal, but the wanker played the race card anyway.
Spot on, craig. The racism thing may have become part of it later, but it started because he was a sniper.

Quite right Craig, I didn't realise it was about racism until the media made it so.
Goodes was a champion player however later in his career he became a sniper, that is what he was booed for.

on the game, we played well in the 1st, we brought our best pressure. i thought in the 2nd we were in the game, we just couldnt buy a goal (even when we kicked them they werent given) and the cats were efficient up front. in the 3rd we fell apart though. we also swung changed and tried a few things.
we had cotch at hb, as well as Butler and Castagna at stages. we tried a small running in off the back of the square, like we did last year, we a half back starting on the side of the square.
i thought Garth and Balta did ok as young tall defenders.

in the end we were well outplayed by a team at full strength playing close to their best footy.- hopefully that will be us in September. If so I am confident we would reverse the result.

Is Ablett being booed because he is a middle aged white male?

Bald is clearly ok, it's flogs you can't discriminate against.

Re. Ablett booing.. at the game my daughter was booing loudly... I asked why... "Because of his homo-phobic comments on social media"... So I joined in! Great player, needs to disown his comments IMO..

Did he make homophobic comments or did he just ‘like’ someone else’s post?
And would she boo Dustin Martin for attacking a woman with chop sticks or just opposition players?
How deep does her social warrior ness extend? Does she volunteer to work for gay issues or just boo at the footballers?

So your daughter is fine with drunks, thieves, adulterers n fornicators, it's just the homo-phobic bit she didn't like?

I suppose she could argue that drunks, thieves, adulterers and fornicators aren't minority groups 8-

Totally correct.
Racist *smile*s might have jumped on later, but he was booed (Hawthorn started it from memory) because he had turned into a sniper thug and had been let off 3 or more times at the tribunal.

Was Nicky Winmar booed for what he did at Vic Park? or Michael Long?
When Goodes called out that cwood fan for calling him an ape, his actions were universally applauded.

Lazy media created a story that wasn't there, then milked it. Crowds turned it into theatre and there may have been a racist element then (who can say?) but the horse had bolted.

They should have made him Aust of the year now, not when he was playing where it could have been interpreted as giving sydney an advantage.

... Winmar was only spat at and called a black <insert noun here>. I guess he got off quite lightly.

Yep. 2 different players. My biggest respect will always go to Nicky for what he did. There's no famous portrait of egohead Goodes.

Rubbish craig. Hopefully you and others will watch his documentary with an open mind.
