Hall of fame - Goodes

[LP]

Instead of the mob accepting that Goodes was being racially abused, it reacted by amping up the booing because Goodes had humiliated a poor (white) girl, even though she wasn’t carrying an “I’m only 14” sign on her.

The bulk of the mob you accuse of booing in racism, pretty much everyone more than a row or two from the child, only saw a wealthy, healthy powerful AFL man point out a female child to a security guard, "the mob" had neither audio, context or transcript of the events that took place at the time. That all came after the fact, all they saw was an AFL Man having a child ejected by ground security.

Are you accusing "the mob" of supporting the child's abusive stance after they were made aware of the evidence?

From any distance that I saw that event, in the absence of other evidence, I'd be part of the crowd booing Goodes as well, fancy the big strong influential footballer singling out a child to be frog marched out of the stadium! Based on your want for corporal punishment as outlined in your ear shredding post, I suspect you would have booed too!

But all that comes long long long after the crowds started booing Goodes for other reasons, reasons related to football and on field behaviour and nothing at all to do with racism, most of it starting around 2011. It had been going on years before the McGuire incident.
