just a reminder of goodes actions. running towards the crowd in an aggressive manner and making threatening gestures and he has his arse licked as a result by the AFL

look at the result of his interaction with crowd. 4 - 5 security guards required to stop things from blowing right out of the water.

no double standards at all is there?

pox ridden idiots

Once difference is Dusty flipped the two-fingers more than once  and had priors with a suspended fine hanging over him from 2013. The AFL activated the suspended fine yesterday.

It's not fair.

Dusty is half white too

Hope he doesn't need a weeks leave to regroup after such an emotionally tumultuous round

If you agree with the fine, you're not necessarily racist against Dusty. But you are guilty of providing cover for racists.

[Stalin]

Yes the worst thing is providing coverage for the true racists

If he twirled the fingers instead of flipping them there would have been no case to answer as Shannon Motlop and Eddie Betts do it all the bloody time!  Maybe next time he should do the Brett Lee Chainsaw! Doing that in front of the black and white Army would be pure gold and from what I can tell, would be perfectly acceptable.

Have to disagree with you on that one. Without wanting to open Pandora's box again (I'm going to) the two finger salute is a known sign/signal used in order to get a reaction and intentionally offend someone.

Goodes' war dance, which he mimed DURING indigenous round lets not forget, had a massive cloud over it. It doesn't have a deeply ingrained cultural significance to it like the two-finger salute does.

Is the Haka deemed offensive? Nope.

ever seen the haka directed at the crowd?

No!

but answer me this, what is the purpose of a war dance?


and i'd also suggest you look at the outcomes of both crowd interactions.

It doesn't have a deeply ingrained cultural significance

Correct.

Truth is,
If your an Australian aboriginal and play for the afl,
You can sook and cry about anything you want and the corporation will back you.


I hate AUSTRALIA right now.

No inconsistency over Martin, Goodes reactions: AFL CEO
AFL.com.au
August 28, 2015

AFL CHIEF executive Gillon McLachlan doesn't see any inconsistency in the League's stance on players making gestures to fans in the stands.

Richmond's Dustin Martin has been fined $2000 after his two-fingered salute towards Collingwood fans last Saturday

It was actually an activation of a suspended fine for Martin's handcuff gesture, intended to show support for a friend in prison, from 2013.   

Fans have taken to talkback radio and social media questioning why Martin has been sanctioned, but Adam Goodes and Lewis Jetta were not for their indigenous war dances.

McLachlan insisted the actions were very different.

"I think everyone understands what the two-finger salute is actually supposed to mean and what it's about," McLachlan said in his weekly 3AW radio interview. 

"The indigenous war dance, whatever people want to call it, it's come out of an under-16 year-old Boomerangs group of kids, and it was done in indigenous round and it's supposed to be one of celebration.

"I don't think you can draw the links or the parallels."

Asked whether he thought an throwing an imaginary spear was potentially inciting the crowd McLachlan said: "I think if people think the imaginary spear's supposed to be impaling them, maybe."

"People understand the context, it's been clear, it's a celebration and I think that's the distinction." 

"Certainly my view's pretty clear … they're celebrating their culture and their people, and are not intending to incite people."

The quote from McLachlan contained an error, which I have corrected ...

If you did the hacka to the crowd it would be on like donkey kong

[Penelope]

how is a war dance a celebration?

a war dance is intended to intimidate your enemy before battle.

[Penelope]

next step is for the stuffwits to start calling us that see this as hypocrisy racists.
