Booing of Adam Goodes by fans of Melbourne clubs

[ScottH]

?Don?t boo Goodes?

[swansrob]

While we're calling for Goodes to not be booed, we need to make sure we're not booing Thomas and/or Boomer lest we be seen as hypocrites.

And (yes this sounds odd I know) cheering Ziebell for taking a stand.

Might have to reconsider my view of Norf if they pull this off.

Adam had been awarded an honorary doctorate by UNSW for his community work. Gave the speech at a Law graduation.

Still wearing red and white I see. Is that the colour any honorary doctorate recipient wears or is that Adam's choice?

Wonderful contribution by the NMFC. Congratulations to them for taking a stand on this issue.

I presume it's UNSW Law doctoral colours. Nice choice though.

At least he'll have a lot of friends who will enjoy arguing on his behalf.

I think his actual award was a Doctor of Letters. ( is that D.Litt.?)

Another article on Adam, tucked away in the Business Section:

A good article to email on to ...... Sam Newman for example!

You're right is is D.Litt - the uni's highest honour! Here's the article: Adam Goodes awarded UNSW?s highest honour | UNSW Newsroom and a pic with the Dean of Law and some indigenous students who were graduating. BTW I hate Norf but will change my mind if their supporters have the class not to boo Adam tonight (at least not until after his fifth goal and taking our Harvey).
