Booing of Adam Goodes by fans of Melbourne clubs

[dejavoodoo44]

Thanks, Ludwig, yes I do think you're right with some of the parallels between Ali and Goodesy.
And in regards to Aboriginal communities overcoming massive disadvantage: well, I think that this is the aspect of this issue that annoys me most. That is, the AFL has made genuine progress over the years in helping to overcome this disadvantage, through a process of discouraging racism, of going out into the communities to run development programs and giving the younger generation genuine role models. But this creative and constructive process is being undermined by the massive egos of the Bolts of this world, who seemingly want to bring back racial vilification to the AFL, to further their own divisive political agendas and to add a couple of ratings points to their own ill gotten audience figures.

I had a look through the history of changes.
It's appalling. Made me feel sick what some assholes have done.
Much of it before Friday night as well.

But you know you've got someone's attention when "First Dog on the Moon" devotes itself to your issue. (Sorry, can't link to The Guardian , but it's really worth seeing).

Thanks for the link, Meg. I've certainly missed 'First Dog' since he left Crikey about a year ago. Has he been at The Guardian all this time?

Yep, and as brilliant as ever

Looks like I'll have to check out The Guardian much more often now. And let's just hope that the June 4th celebration that was mentioned is actually a real thing.

You can subscribe and be notified each time he posts a new cartoon. I met him a while ago (he drew me as a sheep) and asked why he wasn't doing the Bulldogs cartoons any more and he said he is - you need to visit the Bulldogs site to find them.

Crikey huh? I subscribe too but recent discussions here suggest there are a few posters on RWO who may not.

Ohhh, now I'm jealous of your portrait as a sheep. Do you post on Crikey at all? I do so occasionally under the name of Electric Lardyland.

I'm not sure if this has been said, but now that some broader news type journalists and even academics have spoken up in support of Adam, the critics in the football world have gone very quiet.

Bury it by silence

Thanks from me too Meg. Not only the cartoon but the comments following were very amusing.

Our Parliament has done something useful . . .

NSW parliament officially labels Eddie McGuire a 'boofhead' over Adam Goodes remarks

[cherub]

Fabulous. Maguire getting the recognition he deserves.
