Honestly, how do we know there are any boos based on racism to begin with?

Because the media tell us?

Because, well, there's racist people out there, so there must be some percentage that are doing it for that reason?

It's all supposition.

Do we have to go round in this circle again?

Having locked a previous thread I've felt disqualified from commenting until now, but I'm also getting to the point of wondering why this thread needs to stay open.

What this whole episode has shown is there aren't two sides to the issue, there's dozens and if anything it's creating good robust discussion for the most part.

The booing is of poor taste and has escalated to bullying levels, but was it always racially motivated? I don't think so and to label all people who have booed him in the past as racist is unfair and a gross generalisation.

Can I just point out that this is the tightrope I have been trying to walk for days - people from both sides want to push you either way - and of course I don't agree that it is entirely race based.

Another gross generalisation is that all booing is racially based whish is the asinine argument that I am seeing everywhere as a way of ignoring all of this talk.
 

Who has an older continuous culture Forkem? Name one!

I don't believe any race needs to be preserved over another.

Cause that is racism.

Sorry, didn't read the previous one.

No wading through where there is zero chance of intelligent discussion, as opposed to slim.

Where in hell did I say race? Race and culture are two different things. Unless of course our culture is the same as Germany's, or France, or Denmark, etc etc etc.

But watching that clip he appears to have no understanding of the game, which is why it doesn't occur to him that people would boo Goodes simply for the way in which he plays the game.

Wrong Mac5. Waleed Aly is a fanatical Richmond supporter. People of Egyptian heritage follow the footy too

So you were able to conclude that there was nothing intelligent in a thread you didn't read. Yeah, right.

Not really a problem in Australia...

I don't mean to be glib but the Indigenous race has seen the opposite - successive colonies and governments have attempted to do preserve the white race over any other.

I don't want to open up a can of worms but if someone else does, I don't mind getting my hands in there.

The thread needs to stay open 'Dr John', there are many opinions on this issue and they all deserve to be heard no matter how wrong they might seem to others.

Unfortunately it's the biggest story in football and is very divisive but hear everyone out...

So long as no one is being defamed it should continue.

It may also stand to educate some on broader issues faced in the Indigenous community outside of the whole Goodes saga. That can only be a good thing, I know I have learnt a thing or two today.

Hopefully Goodes has played his last game. Football and politics don't go together.

It would be fantastic if we could just get back to football.

The game has just become a platform for lefties to push out their issues onto the broader public.

Gil needs to go, the job should have always been opened up to outsiders.

The public have had enough, they just want to get back to basic football.

What a deplorable shambles our great game has become, the people are speaking by switching off in droves.

And it's pretty sad when issues like the Goodes issue will create a spike in viewers for a short time, then we'll wait for another issue.

This is just political football, due to those in charge, the AFL has pushed us in this direction - where football and politics are combined.

So now they NEED these issues. What a joke, [censored] off Gil.

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
