LMAO at people who refuse to watch the documentary.

Keep sticking your fingers in your ears and don't let facts get in the way of your pre existing bias.

I haven't watched it because I rarely watch TV and I'm not wasting 30-90 minutes (however long it is) of my life to watch a bunch of virtue signaling wankers tell me what struggle is.

I have no doubt that plenty of people who booed Adam Goodes are racists, plenty of 'em. And a lot of them aren't. So basically, some are racist and some are not. There were several reasons for the stuff coming his way. Unfortunate situation but such is life. Should have never came to what it has but it's worked out oh so beautifully for Adam.

Bury the issue already.

I don't get a lot of time watching the screen but if I did and it was a choice between the Goodes doco and Pootang I know which would win out

Exactly.

I wanted to make an informed decision, and felt motivated to watch it largely out of respect for our indigenous population moreso than for Goodes himself. Glad I watched it.

Remember when we watched Family Ties every week before bed. I haven't watched TV regularly since those glory days

An Eddy Betts doco would be FAR more interesting

He’s put up with racial slurs and handled it like a legend .. dare I say, as a hero

Australia has gone stupidly soft, almost as soft as Bellis running with the flight of the ball

If I said I was going to boycott the footy until the next Anglo Saxon Male Round, I would never go again

It’s a great time to be a woman or part of a minority group in Australia

I watched it.

It was ruined by ads every 5 mins, broke the continuity and at times the message. Found it disappointing with some of what was clearly selective editing around certain comments made by certain people.

Yes in places it was confronting. It was also sad.

However, was super impressed with Stan Grant, who made total sense with his comments

For anyone who may be interested, there is a 2nd doco that Good as actually contributes to. Think that will be very interestingperhaps even mpre interesting that this 1st one

Yep would be a ripper
