You keep going on the same , what about the others mantra?

Its been debunked that many times its not funny.

thats because its a valid point that you've conveniently not addressed..but notwithstanding that...i'm just about over the whole thing. if people want to boo then that's their choice imo...good luck with the AFL, bleeding hearts or anyone else trying to shut it down.

Cos "no-one" likes Anthony Mundine,i think thats generally accepted, ahhh right thats cos he is oustpoken too on Indigenous matters.......am i right?

I think you will find that it dates to his comments abt 9/11 or some such event, he made some comment abt Islam and the US. Me I just think he is prat and that doesn't help his cause. Islam opr muslims not an issue but making some snide remark abt it, went looking for it but could locate it!

As for Goodes we are all entitled to our opinion but apparently unless you come down on the side of racism you are in the wrong, me I think the fellow is a great footballer and a poor politician!

interesting read.....

BC - if Stephen Michael or Basil Campbell asked you to stop booing Adam Goodes would you stop ?

and if two 150 kg KKK members told you MO to boo the guy would you tell them to get stuffed?..... ......not too sure the point behind that question MO

Ohhh...... So now it's 2 150kg KKK members that's making them all boo....

Sam Newman has hit the nail on the head on the footy show tonight. 100% agree with what he said, i don't usually agree with the foss but he has stated exactly what this is about.

Im sick of the media e.g. garry lyon being too scared to say anything other then what is expected and using the race card to hide behind having his own opinion, trying to be politically correct. ok the booing should stop out of respect of a great career but you can't tell people who to cheer for or support its ludicrous

There is nothing like throwing out the term racist to win a debate discussion etc: The way this has been handle is a perfect example of political and media censorship of the majority. Now throw in the AFL, who want to censor the true blue footy support who pay good money to go to games. Supporters make our game and without them it would be a dull affair for all the player. Supporter create the atmosphere. I have read a lot of news story on this topic and read most of the topics on them, of say 200 comments 99% don't support Adam, 1% only comment is you are racists. The AFL is a disgrace on this issue and so is the media. As soon as the term Racist is in the air everybody is ducking for cover.
I don't condone racist remarks as we are all equal, but I find it amusing that only white folks can be RACIST!!!!

Booing is neither cheering or supporting

I read a news article where Adam was given his explanation on why Lewis performed the dance and threw a spear boomerang at the crowd. I found it interesting that Adam said , Lewis was in HIS country with his people. So where does that leave the rest of us folk.?

I totally agree DW it is a expression of ones disapproval of something or someone just as cheering is the approval of something or someoneetc:
