Just to reiterate something here.
Why was he booed again?
Now I have seen a lot of players booed across the journey. Thing is, they usually get booed for either being good (Judd) snobbing a team and going elsewhere (Treloar copped it for choosing the Pies over Richmond and saying that they were closer to a flag and had a better list), Ballantyne (for being himself, the guy was a bit of a pain) and Crowley (No one likes a good tagger).
The Richmond hit is a free kick irrespective of him making a meal of it. The Tigers have championed the face fend off. That needs to stop because sooner or later, someone is going to have a neck issue (someone from a team that isnt Carlton, Ed Curnow says hi) but play acting isnt really admired or liked in the AFL fraternity because thats what they accuse soccer players of.
The racism argument is often one sided. You are racist if you boo. You are not racist if you are proud of being deadly (to coin a phrase). Thing is, racism is racism. You can promote a race and not denigrate others and still be racist. I heard a rather racist comment from a black person. Despite empathising with black people, others wont ever understand racism unless they are black. Hang about, Im pretty confident Asian, and Muslim people cop similar or worse despite not being considered black. I am confident that "the wogs" of the community have worn and put up with a fair amount of racism. If you have ever been made to feel shame for being a bit different or from an ethnic group, then that is the text book example of racism at work. Now its racist to point the finger at others for simply being white and accusing them of being racist for taking objection to a persons character because they are black? No. I dont like that. I can call someone a flog if I dont like them. There are many walking and talking flogs in sport. I have seen Darcy Vescio make some comments on social media that similarly are man hating. I told her to be better than that. No need to pull men down to be a proud female.
The same applies to the indigenous, and multicultural communities. They are the only ones I have seen that consider myself to be a white person, because the white fraternity dont see me as anything but different. We are similarly rejected by all parties, and I for one see this new attempt to make everyone feel shame for what it is. Abject Prejudicial Discrimination.
If we stopped labelling people (as Indigenous, european whatever) and started calling everyone Australian, guess what would happen to racism.
