Hall of fame - Goodes

[PaulP]

Paul, I’ve already covered that. If you join a mob when you know racists are driving it, you’re complicit in racism. It’s irrelevant if you’re motivated by something else. That racism was at the heart of this was always obvious.

I must admit, my feelings on this were motivated mainly by history and mainly by the victim's statements and feelings. Clearly, AFL/VFL indigenous players have suffered abuse over the years, and if Goodes is telling us that this behaviour is affecting him adversely and it is racially based, I'd be happy to give him the benefit of the doubt. To be honest, I think booing in general is pretty lame.

But I'm curious to know your basis for believing that racism was always at the heart of all this ? Maybe a stupid question........
