AFL Fans and the booing of players

Re: AFL Fans and the booing of players

Can we just stop booing? In a league full of the most tedious hot topics ever thought up this booing chat is right up there with the worst of it.

It's the classic culture war bullshit we have copped in politics forever, so can we just all agree to stop booing regardless of reasons so that we don't have to discuss the merits and justification of booing anymore, regardless of what "side" you fall on?

I think in some ways it's a perfect response. Revealed a lot about our country and certain groups within that it was even a point of discussion.

It was a really sad time for the game and Adam. It did expose a lot of people for sure.

It's still happening. I'm getting people messaging me that are so livid about the booing thing they're losing their minds.

To be honest, I think some people are just really angry for other reasons and channel their pain somewhere where there is a perceived unfairness.

Can't we all just boo Dan Andrews again?

That really brought the community together.

I think the Collingwood girl was the start, then people booing him for being so mean to the poor little racist white girl, then the spear thing at Carlton fans booing him as a bit of an up yours. Followed of course by more rage at the uppity black man not knowing his place. That's not what MLK or Ghandi would do tut tut.

Let's go national. Lets laugh at Tony Abbott again (without giving him any actual power this time)

Gandhi slept naked with his under age niece so that's a good thing right?

A couple of years after the initial incident, again on Indigenous Round.

Ghandi was a weird unit to be sure. I think a Hindu nationalist too but might be misremembering. MLK though, based AF. So based people have to pretend he didn't say half the stuff he did and just use that one quote constantly.

Boston Celtics getting booed by their home crowd. Imagine if that happened in the AFL? Many people would be triggered.

Would they boo their hockey team?

I don't follow hockey but I guess they would. I'd imagine crowds would be similar in different codes.

I would think so too. Just checking if that sort of booing is racially motivated.

Although Boston fans have been called out numerous times for being the most racist.
