AFL - Round 9 discussion - (and live scores)

[Brodlach]

Totally stupid thing to do but this young girl is going to be hounded by all forms if media, Facebook, twitter etc

Made a bad error but she is young.

[Q.]

We as a country are better than that, i have seen what racism has done to soccer i would hate to see it head down that path here in aus.

Racism is rampant in this country. Are we really surprised it's being expressed by our youth.

Rubbish, no where near as bad as what it used to be.

Won't deny it doesn't exist but to say it is rampant is a erroneous. A classic example the amount of indigenous and ethnic politicans elected in this country especially those on the conservative side of politics. A racist country would do that.

Like I said earlier, it's expressed differently.

[on the rails]

Let's not get too carried away by a throw away comment by a football supporter who probably is too young and dumb to realise what she said and more so the consequences of her flippant words! All those who have not made a sexist / racist / elitist comment please step forward to the line behind the stones just in front of the glass house. Not condoning what she did or did not say "allegedly" but putting it into perspective:

A young "white" man who by birth is deemed a "christian" and who by choice but by loyalty served in the British Army minding his own business off duty in London was murdered in the most horrific way on Wednesday by 2 males who by birth are black in colour but represent a religious belief of their own by choice rightly or wrongly.

Let's ensure we look at the bigger picture before this Goodes story turns into a "train wreck"!!!

[Punk Rooster]

If the girl in question is young and immatur, is it too much to ask Goodes to be the bigger man, and turn the other cheek?
I'm not defending what the girl said, but he's going to let her get to him?

[dedja]

When's white Christian heterosexual round?

Silly girl by the way, picked the wrong target ... and timing was a tad questionable

Its her soccer background, isn't that how Goodes got off soft cocking it against Gibson.

Just another way to stand up for his people like Nicky Winmar did

“Racism is not merely a simplistic hatred. It is, more often, broad sympathy toward some and broader skepticism toward others...”

The very of which is evident in this thread.

No.

[The Sleeping Giant]

When's white Christian heterosexual round?

Every round

[Squids]

So when the girl commits suicide, whats happens then?

I agree. A young girls future could be ruined by a throw away line at the footy, that a grown man could not handle. If it was an adult who knew better, fair enough, but his reaction and antics are way over the top, take it, look who said it, and brush it off.

Yes I too have stood amongst the grogies ...

Like the Radio announcers thing. Could happen.
