Adam Goodes Booing

[Diocletian]

My take not that it means much.

It baffles me why people have the energy to boo week in week out and to the same bloke.

He's not playing in front of the same crowds every week.... the only people who would watch him every week would be Sydney supporters who never boo him. Everyone else would only watch him once or twice a year.

[Yeahright]

You must be old or a lazy slob or both if you think booing someone takes energy? You're sitting down watching the footy and probably scoffing down a pie or two. How hard is it to throw in a few boo's?

[Diocletian]

Besides, he only gets about 12 touches a game these days....

[Francois Jackson]

Yeahright I struggle to find  patience and energy to even sit through a full game of AFL the way it is played these days and adding booing to it in front of my kids. Yeah na not for me pal but knock yourself out.

Froars agree

This is his last season anyway but Caro reckons Goodes has played his last game and will retire so the Swans can move on.

Sydney chairman has just said if you boo Goodes you're racist...

who died and made this nobody flog God?

[froars]

His comments were very stupid
No-one can say what reasons anyone boos for.  Some people boo for his footy antics, some for his stance on the girl, some for his Australia Day speech and some for his remarks on racism, and some just for the heck of it. 
But Adam Goodes perceives some of it is racist and that is his problem with it.  And I would think he would be right that some of it is racist.
It's not about what we did with booing Jab, we clearly knew what we were booing him about.  This is completely different because everyone is booing him for their own reasons and not all of it is footy related, some are for personal reasons.
It's only going to escalate, no amount of reasoning and talking this out is having any effect whatsoever.
Ross Greenwood came out this morning came out and said he just boos him for his footy antics.  That's fine, but he can't speak for everyone, and neither can I and neither can the Swans boss.
If we just stop it would be good - all the points about the issue have been made.

AUSTRALIA hates a sook and a dobber.
He's both.
He's also a hypocrite. Bullies smaller players on field
And now cries bully.
He can go stuff himself.

[Mr Magic]

Have you seen the real time vision of that screen grab? Absolutely nothing in it.

That's Hunts problem.

Daniel Andrews has launched a scathing attack on those booing Adam Goodes and put the acid on more of Australia's leaders to stand up for the Sydney champion.

But 3AW Mornings host Neil Mitchell has accused the Premier of playing politics with the issue.

Mr Andrews said it would be a "tragedy" if the two-time Brownlow medallist retired over the controversy and said there was no doubt the booing was fuelled by racism.

He said he was "disgusted" by what was happening.

"I want to be very clear… People who are booing Adam Goodes, many of them are nothing more than racists," the Premier said.

Like Hewitt?

Okay, we aren't supposed to boo Adam Goodes.

I can do that.

But how about Lewis Jetta?

Or Adam Crowley when he returns.

Or the entire EFC and especially Turd and Jab?

Maybe we shouldn't boo anybody.

Or maybe just the umpires.
