That being said it is about race to some idiots,  but the majority no and then you have your sheep, Hewitt styles.

Surely this is some governmental experiment designed to see exactly what they can and can't tell people, what to do and think

Like Boston bombings flase flag

Practice for the real thing

So you're saying all the Sydney matches were staged using giant mirrors and actors?  I knew our win up there was too good to be true....

Distract the masses with this rubbish, Kardasians, australian drug dealers being killed in Indonesia

while they get ready for the economic collapse and ww3 , maybe  :(

I think it's 95 % booing the player for his behaviour on field and 5 % racist, give or take.
I don't think the people who are booing are racists in general.
But now it's just out and out bullying and it's pretty ordinary.
Just having an argument online and comparing Milne and Goodes, and them saying Milne got booed worse than Goodes
WELL one effing deserved it, he wa a dirty grub and the other a player who just shiits people
A big difference

I agree froars, the problem is when this story broke/exploded the general view was if you boo then you're racist, no ands, ifs or buts. That really riled and insulted the majority who I believe were booing him for reasons other than colour of skin.

The unfortunate thing is thats its gotten way out of hand know and is getting nasty.

The trouble when both sides of the debate are right.  Well, that's what I think.
I see people's reasons for saying we're just booing him and I see why people would think the other way.
The problem is finding a solution to keep everyone happy

How do we know people aren't just saying GOOOOODES?

...and what about Luke Breust - his own supporters boo him every time he kicks a goal!

I'm curious as to how many people know that the young girl that goodes singled out and humiliated rang him and apologised and then also wrote a letter of apology?
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Thanks lads....thought I had stroked out there...

I'm curious to know how many people like myself who were happy that we all said sorry on behalf the nation, are left not in regret but scratching their heads as to what the hell is going on

Wasn't it Adam Goodes that used to go into a pack knees first.

Didn't they change the rules because of it.

I wonder if the players hurt by getting a knee in the back felt they had been bullied?

 :huh
Yeah we're already going to vote for him mate, you don't need to keep selling it.....

Yep he did, '65. There's pics of it on the web.

Anyway, AFL CEO Gillon McLachlan has sent out an open letter to fans. There's also a video to be shown at the grounds this weekend.

"Whether you agree or not, the booing of Adam Goodes is perceived by him and many others as being racially motivated and that's hurting us all.

That is all we need to know."

Waite got booed last night by the Carlton crowd.

Racists.

Serious note, can Waite now take a leave of absence due to having his feelings hurt?

Goodes looked pretty at ease with the world returning to training today.
