Adam Goodes saga - whats your opinion?

[The DoggFather]

Using the term 'pretend spear' just shows you are trying to trivialise something which is important to another culture. You probably don't even realise that you are being disrespectful, such is the way of many non-indigenous people.

You 'pretend' you're better than everyone you wanker.

Only time you post your dribble is to insult a member, you contribute fuk all.

Why don't you go eat a 'real' dick, you like being a 'real' **** don't you?

 

[Indiandog]

Like indians great food ,great service station skills.but I don't want to deal with one regarding my telstra account.

P.s. indian dog can you tell your friends over in Bombay that although I live 5.1 kms from the exchange, there is a port 500mters from my house that has a spare port for adsl2 because this wireless shit is to expensive and I haven't been able to play battfield for 2 years now and rationing my porn use is fukked.

First I need to convince them to stop calling me during my dinner time every time for their stupid marketing stuff.

good luck with your problem with telstra. You have all my prayers and best wishes ...cos you probably need them.

so if other players in the nrl are going to do the war dance to the fans on the opposite side and they boo them its considered racist?

 

[Hacky McAxe]

I'm sure there is some racial undertones to it and when you look at it:

1) part of the booing is because he pointed out a girl for making racial remarks

2) part of the booing is because he did an Indigenous dance

3) part of the booing is because he called Australia Day "Invasion Day"


Did he do anything wrong?

A bit right, a bit wrong:

- Calling it "Invasion Day" is a little racist, even if it is partly accurate and makes him a bit of a hypocrite.

- Pointing out a girl for racial remarks, nothing wrong with that. Stamping out racism is important.

- Carrying out an Indigenous dance, nothing wrong with that at all. He's allowed to do his Indigenous dance especially since it means a lot to him and other Indigenous people.


Everything since has put more of a downside on him. The booing is stupid and childish and the AFL should possibly do something about it. But at the same time, he needs to handle it better. Fafita copped a mass of boos at Belmore and he clapped the crowd. He didn't say "I'm not going to play 'cause of this"


So in conclusion, to answer your question:

Yes, No, and Maybe.

I recall that great line out of Mississippi burning , baseballs a funny game it's the only time a black man can wave a stick at a White man without causing riot.
Or words to that effect

whenever Sandow has done his abo dance, he never pointed out the opposition fans and threw a spear at them.

It is very similar to nz players complaining about aussies disrespecting the hakka , few years ago.

You dont expect someone to just stand, applaud and smile for you when you are showing him gestures doing fist pumps,slit throwing, spear throwing and drinking their blood and stuff.

Boo boo boo

 

[K E]

Boo him because he's a knob. If someone throws a pretend spear at me i'm gonna pretend die.

Using the word "someone" shows how ignorant you are and how far superior I am to you. Adam Goodes isn't "someone" he represents and entire race. I am a genius because you don't have the level of my understanding on matters I'm clearly no expert in. I live in New Zealand so therefore I know everything about Adam Goodes and his culture...

That's where it becomes torn. I'm not sure about the Aboriginal dance but the Haka is a strong traditional dance for New Zealanders that they can only do in certain circumstances. But as I said, Goodes didn't handle it well.

Then again, if everyone booed when he did the dance then that would have been the end of it. Instead they are booing him every game which is when it becomes targeted harassment.

 

[K E]

Buddy Franklin is aboriginal and the only people who boo him are Hawthorn supporters. Just saying.

Casper, are you booing cos i am indian or are you booing cos you think I have an attitude problem

 

[Shanked]

I believe people think it's racist because it started after he got the 13 yr old girl kicked out for calling him an ape, which is fair enough

 

[Legend23]

Thick skins.

 

[south of heaven]
