wubsy's Sydney thread

[daysofourlives]

Remember that time a bunch of angry people got ridiculously mad at an indigenous man celebrating his culture on indigenous round, while doing a dance taught to him by an Under 16's Indigenous team. And what makes this even more unbelievable their biggest gripe was that an imaginary spear was somehow offensive. But without even knowing it wasn't even a spear, it was a boomerang. He clearly mentioned this after the game. Then proceeded to crucify him for the rest of his career and somehow blamed his treatment on he took dives. What's even more surprising, well not really. That this post by supercoach have turned off it's comments. So, nothing really has changed.
Anyways, I remember. It was 10 years ago today

If the people in the crowd found it offensive then it is, isnt it? Or at least thats what we are told when the shoe is on the other foot. Rioli a classic case in point, someone calls him fat and apparently thats culurally offensive to him, really, and now we shouldnt call indigenous people fat; Is it offensive because of Dunstalls pre season story about his father?

How is it offensive??? Aren't the people who complain about this "behaviour" by indigenous players the ones who think we are woke and snowflakes?

The booing started much earlier than this incident (not condoning it), but this tipped it over the edge as people took it as aggression to the crowd for the booing.

I thought the booing came after he pointed out the young girl in the crowd for racism.

Started even before that

Yeah, my recollection is the booing started in 2012 after Goodes was suspended twice, then in 2013 Round 1 the Collingwood incident started.

Many people found it offensive, it doesnt matter if its offensive or not to you, if someone found it offensive, then its offensive.
That line is rolled out all the time when indigenous people take offence to something and its not just indigenous people its every little minority group in existence. All the self righteous people continually push this, its common amongst the hard left and oracles on this forum.
Im not surprised you dont get this

They call you woke ( not knowing what it means ) then use your view point back at you when they haven't got the courage to say what they actually think about it. Plan A and B.

Look, I disliked him because I thought he was a dirty prick. Early on in his career I admired how he went about it, always have had a soft spot for an undersized ruck. Then as he aged, he developed a nasty streak in him that seemed detrimental to how he played, and I hate that stuff. Cotchin, Sam Mitchell, Lenny Hayes (controversial) all spring to mind as well, although I've always detested Mitchel and his smirk...

When the racially motivated stuff went down in 2013, I bit my tongue on the manner, because regardless of how I felt about him, I was certainly aware of how it would appear to others.

So, Adelaide want the game from Round 7 2016 investigated where the now on the run umpire, Troy Pannell, awarded the Bulldogs 17 free kicks and Adelaide 1 on the way to a 28-12 final count.

They, well, Riccuito, claims that game may have cost Adelaide a top 4 spot and if the result was flipped the Bulldogs could have finished lower than 7th and not marched to the famous Grand Final victory.

The Bulldogs led at every change by 14, 20, 18 and ultimately won by 15 points. The finished 7th 3 games clear of North Melbourne in 8th.

All in all I think Riccuito is full of shit but nonetheless it's worth noting in this here particular thread.

You need to do the same with Roo as I do with Kane mate. He takes up way too much real estate inside your head.

Watch netflix doco 'Flagarant Foul' about the NBA ref who got busted betting on games he was reffing.

Aussie rules would be one of the easiest sports on the planet to do it with all the 'interpretations'.

Like the ref in the doco said it wasnt about how many fouls he gave it was the 'when' / 'where' / 'who'. The ref believed he could easily make a 6 point swing in a game with only a few deliberate decisions one way. They pretty just bet on head to heads and the inside news the ref had meant he had a pretty good tipping bias before the game even started. It was only ever if the result wasn't going the way he needed that he had to jump in and use bias.

100% this would have happened at AFL level, the little free for a small hold deep in the forward line, a well-timed center bounce free to ensure a clearance, the odd not 15m
