Whats the difference between the booing of adam goodes, buddy & the booing of latrell?!

[Pippen94]

That didn't take long. Nick Youngquest was post Roberts as well.

Did youngquest come out when playing NRL?!

It may have been after. Still an NRL player coming out, and I don't recall any hand wringing over it. No one gives a shit who prefers what genitals anymore, as long as both parties are up for it, have at it.

Makes a big difference as seen here portion of fan base has homophobic culture.

I'm okay with Latrell getting booed when he does his grubby stuff. And he has a habit of turning grubby.
Booing him for playing good is out of order and I suspect there is a fair bit of that.
Goodes was booed for calling out racism from a teenage girl. That I can't accept. If that girl was vilifying your brother or sister with what she said you wouldn't accept it let alone defend her.
Don't know why Franklin was booed. Was it for the cheap shot he pulled off a few weeks ago?

Jason Horne-Francis was booed recently for a few weeks in the AFL. I don't expect many here to know who he is but he ain't indigenous and all he did was leave a struggling club for a more successful one and fans from clubs other then the one he left booed him relentlessly.

The OP has conveniently left this example out of his rants.

I don't even know who the f..that is. Tell do you think there was an element of racism in the booing of Adam Goode's?!

You're living in the past. I'll admit as a teenager I was a homophobe, I was born in 1971, so in that era it was definitely the norm. Not so much now, blokes like Roberts were trailblazers in helping change how people think, now I genuinely believe the majority of people just dont care what someones sexuality is, they just don't feel the need to clap and cheer about it.

 

[Canard]

Wonder why no NRL player has come out since Ian Roberts?!

Can you run me through the great gamut of players that have come out in men's professional sports on a world wide scale?

Of course you don't because that example is inconvenient for your narrative.

Goodes is the only one where racism was the prime motivator.

Latrell doesn't get booed by roosters fans if he doesn't break manu's face. If you can't understand that then I can't help you.

It's not as if they are coming out en masse once they leave the game.

Maybe they just aren't gay?

being gay is still used as a putdown like here. Not much has changed

Here's Adam Goode's case;
Champion player
Outspoken on indigenous issues
Racially abused by underage fan who was called out publicly.
Fans said booing was because of dirty play despite other players who do same thing not receiving same level of boos.

Now Latrell case;
Read Adam goodes case above

Sporting culture is homophobic

Ha ha, no it isn't. You just don't understand banter and a certain style of humour, running jokes are a thing, Suspend Ryles & Never heard of the f**ker etc etc. The Lesbian quip is one of those.

 

[Bobby DIGital]

f**k Latrell
f**k Cody
f**k South Sydney as a staff, a rugby league team and a muthaf**kin crew, and if you wanna be down with Souffs then f**k you too.
Jack Wighton f**k you too.
All you muthaf**kers, f**k you too.....

It's very nuanced & intellectual. Calling a poor performing team a pack of lesbians..but the culture of the fan base has changed & it's much more accepting

The balding are the most vilified on here.
