Rebecca Wilson v Dermot Brereton

[trewhella]

Try to listen to the fight online if you can find it.
Was worth a listen.

Basically Adam Goodes is being booed all the time.
Many think it is racially motivated. Others think it is his grubby style of play.

Me personally, I think they boo because they can boo. It becomes a "thing" that people do at the footy. Like Paul Roos......rooooooooos.
Rebecca Wilson came out particularly poorly in this exchange.
She used emotional words to convey her disgust in response to perceived racial vilification. Basically she was pulling at the heart strings of dullards. " Bec, the Good Samaritan."

Her conclusions lack any clear insight.
I found this also when she was reporting on the ASADA scandal, Sonny Bills defection to Rugby, salary cap scandals........
I don't see how she keeps her job.
It's c grade journalism at best.

Dermot went her big time and she lost her nerve and started talking crap.
If the Tele wants headline grabbers....they have a good one with her. It's a pity they aren't talking about her for her content rather than her grandstanding.

The issue with Adam Goodes would not be an issue if his melanin levels were a fair sight lower.

I actually heard the full story of that Collingwood fan off of Alan Jones this evening.

She was a 13 year old intellectually disabled girl who babbled the words because of her father. She was pointed out by Goodes and security guards took her to a room within the stadium and police grilled her for two hours without her parents or a legal guardian present. Goodes, the Swans and the AFL have never apologised to the girl or her family for what would have been a terrifying experience for that girl.

Mr. Goodes proves that the color of his skin is not the issue, it is the content of his character that is inescapably suspect.

It is absolutely hilarious, it starts at 11.40, she is a dead set moron

While on that toe rag Wilson, did anyone read the article on the back page about SKD last week?
She was waxing lyrical how the NRL should stand him down and how we as a club are in the wrong for trying to influence the judge by twisting the story to make it about how it's affected SKD.
She is a terrible journalist, we're was she was Avau played the entire year of footy after pleading guilty for domestic violence?
Agenda anyone???

Yep, I think Bourbon Bec is an AFL ambassador, there is also an AFL player who has been charged with rape, and guess what, no headline from Bec, massive agenda. I think she also gave it to Carney about DUI!

One of life's ironies are the Bigots who are intolerant of Bigots.

Everyone I talk to who knows that game (happy to confess I don't) says it has nothing to do with his race at all. People can't stand him because he is an asshole.

To me it is deplorable and unacceptable racism. Australians should be ashamed of this. Indigenous Australians have put up with too much for too long. it is is disgraceful.

People boo cause they don't like him. There are 71 other Aboriginals playing AFL. People don't boo them.
I wonder if Beck gave the Swans a gang bang like she did the Qld league team in the 80s.

[Jacks Fur Coat]

Goodes has a huge ego that was only amplified by his Aussie of the Year gong.

Players have been booed for all many of reasons in sport...almost never racist motivated... Nor is this.

The bleeding hearts always fall back on the racist card as its an easy winning hand.

He needs to get over himself and show his real class that we are told he has.

What happened to that girl at the Collingwood game was deplorable.

Yes because an intellectual disability is something you can so readily observe from a distance.

A lot of bigots don't like it when they see their usually unwarranted bigotry shown to them by others. And most of the time, the object of their bigotry espouses views the bigot is ashamed of within themselves. Like most virulent homophobes have had homosexual experiences they feel guilty about in the past.

The days of this site having multiple sections for different topics have long since ended.

I'm stunned that anyone could say this issue isn't about racism.
