But the racial vilification he has suffered on and off the field, which has deeply affected him, cannot be questioned. Many will debate whether the booing was racially motivated or not but to me that's not the central issue.
Incited and divided the crowd like no one else - running with a pretend spear towards an opposition losing cheer squad is going to get a reaction regardless of your skin colour or the meaning behind it and then in typical righteous fashion he is offended when booed and played the race card till after he retired. Gimme a break
Goodes rarely if ever complimented the AFL for providing him with the lifestyle he likely currently still reaps the benefits from - nope he only ever discussed the negative side of the industry and his lack of appreciation of any thing positive the industry gave him is IMO another reason the average fan dislikes him.
