Essendon, Bulldogs embroiled in racial vilification shame

Re: Essendon, Bulldogs embroiled in racial vilification shame

Once upon a time people found it offensive to have aboriginals playing football.
Now they find it "Offensive" because an aboriginal has an opinion!
Shame Shame Shame! Some of the shameful vitriol directed at Goodes through social media just shows how many dimwits we have in the world.

Actually Remi, I think these instances present a positive tone.

A few people out of maybe 25-30K are racist enough to want to burst out with bigoted vitriol at a football game! Those numbers are actually pretty good.

Poll via social media is a joke. Don't trust it, and don't think it represents a reasonable proportion of the population.

Agree, I get shocked by some of it.To me it's a ringing endorsement of not being on Facebook or Twitter.
Just out of curiosity I googled Shelley Ware from Marngrook( wasn't sure if she once went out with Buckley)
The comments on her just shook me to the bone ( all racially motivated)

If you want to see racism at work go to a country sporting match it's disgraceful. My wife's niece played netball with some aboriginal girls up in Shepparton and the racists remarks would make your hair curl. Even the umpire.

I might have missed something watching the Swans v Bummers match but I couldn't work out why the Bummer's supporters were booing Adam Goodes all throughout the game. Every time he got the ball. Dimwits.

He took a couple of Nick Riewoldt style dives early and got a free kick for one and a 50m penalty and goal for another.

He's always been the umpires love child. I remember him getting 3 votes in the Brownlow late in the season in 2006 to edge out Scotty West for a 16 possession 2 goal game as a midfielder. He was tagged out of the game and kicked 2 goals toward the end when he was moved forward to give himself a hint of respectability on the day.

He was almost embarrassed to receive it.

I think you're giving him FAR too much credit.

Thanks for that. Bummer supporters are strange beings you can never be sure what or who they are booing sometimes.
