Because nobody looks at him and thinks 'diddly dee potatoes'. Society chose his lineage for him.

Geez, I see a footballer who is very good at his chosen sport and is a multi. Good luck to him, but why is he sad all the time?

I really believe has an inner struggle going on, for whatever reason.

I think Someone has hit the nail on the head because he has reacted to it the booing has expanded from one club to two to a shit load.

I think it is bullying and probably very little to do with race. AFL crowds are full of wankers so what would you expect once they pick up they were getting a rise from the player.

Yeah maybe, but if so why do we have blokes being ejected from stadiums for yelling at him to go back to the zoo? Why all the justifications about him deserving it for calling the girl out for her ape call or saying his "war dance" is responsible for it?

I reckon that it's definitely not all about his race, but it's certainly in the mix with these people doing the booing and I don't think you can really argue it isn't even if you reckon it's mostly something else.

First I heard of that one, any links.

no doubt there are some racist dudes in the crowd but I still think it is more about the rise they get from Goodes, so they continue it and expand on it.

Bullying at it best. the ole saying, "sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me" is how Goodes should of handled it until his career finished. Than come out a said to the people who were booing, "you pack of arseholes, so many premierships, Aussie of the year, mansion and a mill in the bank, get that up ya - because you pricks paid for it".

How can I be half irish? I thought that's was impossible according to you? Like being half pregnant or something along them lines...

You just keep jumping on the line, no bait needed. That is how you (yes, you) described yourself.:lol:

Yes and now it's how you describe me, despite you only posting a few hours ago that it's impossible for anyone to be half a nationality
If your going to blatantly troll, at least be consistent with it

Bahahaha well that's how the NBA stars go about it, but it's not exactly taking the high road is it?

As for the zoo comment: http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/ne...oodes-not-racist/story-fni0cx12-1227460033403

Love how the guy argues it wasn't racist - as though he would yell it at a white bloke

Magpie getting excited because someone mentioned bullying and he hadn't thought of that excuse yet

I gave full credit to Someone, and why is it an excuse. Because you want it to be all about race and be able to say everyone who disagrees with me is a racist, but "little ole "froggy" is not, oops time for my latte".

Mate my point was abouthis lineage. If you saw him sight unknown you would say he was an aboriginal. Hard to embrace William Wallace when that's the case.

Isn't magpie the one who kept defending Sheens despite how woefully shit of a coach he has been for years now?

Credibility forfeited.
