Secondly, people seeing through the hypocrisy of Goodes, Ch.7 and the AFL. Do they really think this was Haka like, seriously?
Finally, why did Ch.7 imply Carlton fans were being ejected because of some clash that lead to Goodes exhibitionist behavior, like that would be a justification for what happened!
In many countries scoring celebrations are restricted because they incite the crowd. NFL bans or fines players for excessive or exhibitionist celebrations, soccer has greatly wound back the scoring celebrations, particularly in regards to approaching the crowd.
It seems in this regard rugby(League and Union) has the high moral ground, for in rugby the primary form of interaction with the crowd is to thank them for the attendance and support(As opposed to indicating that they are not welcome!) Rugby knows where it's bread gets buttered, and it isn't about to turn on those who pay their wages!
All this episode has proven is that Goodes is a goose, does he really think complaining about being booed is going to make it better, as far as opposition fans go they have him on toast now!
PS: Does Yarran, Smith, Jetta, Walker, Rioli, Franklin, etc., etc., etc.. get booed. If there were so many racists in the AFL crowds why would they discriminate? As an accusation racism just doesn't hold water!
Like I said, who cares. Waste of airtime and space. Not at all important. Didn't incite anything and never going to. Gets booed, whoppy doodle doo.

I have never said every booee is racist, I have said a portion of them are, as well as a portion of Australians are racist. I think that we can all agree on.
Yes they do!
Goodes is no different from any/every other person, he is not special in any way, shape or form!

Good Bloke Goodes
Thought his war dance was good, he would get a good mark for a Maori Haka.
It was not aborigine. No Way.
But he has had injury,
lots of pressure on him,
nearing the end of his career.
hamming up a bit.
I hope enjoyed the stir
ps if he was playing for Carlton I would have thought it highly appropriate

He was Australian of the Year, surely that makes him just a little bit different than the rest of us.

If he played for Carlton we'd worship the ground he walks on, but alas the CFC has no idea how to draft champion footballers at pick 43 in the draft.
We took Kris Massie at 7 and Adam Chatfield at 23 in Goodes' draft.

If he played for Carlton no one would care about him being booed and he would have been fined for taunting fans last week.

Something tells me this would have been the exact result you indicated.

He wouldn't get the soft umpiring either.

Being O/S I am just catching up with this incident and the debate.
Firstly the argument that it is part of his heritage is false. Heritage has to go back further than a handful of years to when a few kids made the whole thing up. I believe such a silly 'jig" was insulting to the cause of Aboriginal Heritage
Secondly the comparison to the Haka is ridiculous as well. The Haka is done to intimidate the opposition players as a whole - not a few spectators.
Thirdly -and I hesitate to say this for fear of being called racist - but at my first glance on a laptop my first impression reminded me of a chimp charge. Now please do not accuse me of racism. Find an appropriate clip and compare before you judge.
