I haven't watched an Eagles game in a very long time. It is not something I enjoy full stop. I haven't seen or heard anything about this issue until reading this thread due to having two very small children and no longer having "a life", and if I did have one i no longer remember it.
Irrespective, as a generalisation, the average Toilet mouth is exactly that and shaped only to pronounce the slight variations between "boo" and "ball" with alarming mass regularity.
There are many very stupid people who support all clubs,particularly West Coast, and I suspect increasingly ours. I would hope like hell that all our fans are more intelligent, but past experience suggests otherwise.
However, booing just isn't a Freo thing.
Years ago Freo could have made a big deal about our links to indigenous football and our recruitment of indigenous boys - but we didn't. Because it wasn't necessary. It was a non-issue. Robert Walls would not have picked up on that.
Malcolm X said it best: "the bullet or the ballot". Adam Goodes has realised that sometimes being quiet and relying on the inherent goodness of the common man doesn't cut it.
And I have to say, this thread, thankfully the majority of it by far, has been life affirming in its sense of respect, humanity and intelligence. Thank you also for all the links that I would otherwise not have known about.
Come on, Mike, Danyle, Stephen and Griff. Support Adam loudly and proudly.
