Sorry LS, but where were your concerns over booing for the first 100 years?
It wouldn't be because of recent media hysteria would it?

They say people that boo are sheep following the flock. I think the same goes for those who suddenly pop up from out of nowhere and find an issue with it, as it is exactly the same thing isn't it?

The hypocrisy in this debate is phenomenal.

His colour or ethnicity has nothing to do with, his attitude has a lot to do with it, simiarly to anyone who is overly arrogant outside of their area of expertise.

You have your opinion but to suggest that mine is about is aboriginality is displaying your own unfounded arrogance!

Perfectly said.

Really, what about the absolute bollocking Mitch Johnson got down at fine leg at the end of each of his overs or when fielding the ball, i didnt see him take his bat and ball and go home.

did anyone tell him to go back to the zoo ?

Ross the Boss lays it out plain and simple so even the simplest of bogans can get it.

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

This is a bloke that mocked Nicky Winmar by painting his face black, Nicky refused to come on the show as a result.

You can feel proud to throw your lot in with him , but Im even gladder not too.

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.

We sit back and marvel at the likes of riolio and walters just like we sit back and marvel at goodes, who in case you havent noticed is a far more decorated and accomplished player than either of them, he is up to 353 games is he not? anyway as has been pointed out by far more astute observers and experienced writers and observers of the game, Chip Le Grand, Mike Shehan, Pat Smith, Mark Duffield, and there are many many more including now the coach of your own club Ross Lyon that he has been singled out for no rational reason at all ,,which begs the question if there is no reason where does leave that...join the dots, its not that hard, it bleeding obvious , have they been outspoken on certain issues, No they have not.

Im with Nicky Winmar I hope Adam come back and finishes heis great career with the dinignified send off a decorated player of 350 odd league games, he has achieved a sht load more on the field than any of the morons booing him has.

if anyone is a sportsman and true lover of the game as they claim to be how could they not agree.

That is it for me BC.

Enjoy your booing!

Don't worry Unk, Ross is just another "sheep" following the pack. The same way the booers are "sheep" following their pack.

Ahhhhhhhh
