Goodes fighting the good fight LMAO
Funniest part about that is he grew up in Horsham living the same way as all the “white fellas”
He’d never been to a community until he became a face for “the good fight”
Would have a clue what people like Tambling went through to make the AFL
Ah yes, my favourite argument in this whole, bigoted saga.
Adam Goodes the Aboriginal is not ALLOWED to identify as an Aboriginal man because he grew up in an area with "white fellas" and, as such, speak of truths related to indigenous treatment at the hands of "white fellas".
The lens is so protracted you could use it on your Year 8 maths project.
Little bit of background for you
I rented a house in Spring St Belmont, whilst going to Deakin in Waurn Ponds. My housemate at the aforementioned place was Justin. This aforementioned Justin, was a neighbour and good friend of "Goodesy". I had quite possibly 20 conversations with "goodesy" over a 2 year period. "Goodesy" was a TOP bloke. This was early career. At a time when "Goodesy" was a popular player competition wide.
Late career Adam Goodes became a total flog of the highest order. He changed completely as a person.
But Damo, he's an Aboriginal man who speaks on issues related to Aboriginal Australians.
What does his living situation have to do with that?
He is perfectly entitled to make comment, construct and lead social agenda. Especially if people look for his direction and comment.
Did you have 20 or so conversations with him in his late career?? I mean, Plugger was one of the dirtiest dogs going around in his twighlight and received nothing like the reception Goodes did every time he got a touch for the last 2-3 years of his career. Right around the same time he started making strong public comment related to Indigenous affairs.
Even Gary Abblett Jnr has turned a bit thuggish, and if I recall Richmond people began booing him to an extent related to his onfield crap (and off field support of Falou). Sports media personal quickly squashed it and there was uniform disdain for the booing. I don't recall anything like the same consistent support for Goodes.
