Yes it is in the film, I heard the fellas talking about it on one of the footy shows. Good and not so Good/es stuff. I will watch it with an open mind.

There is so much racist undercurrent to our society that he certainly inflamed.
Donāt think the āheās a flog so thereās nothing racist going onā response before viewing it shows much intelligence

There is racism though. Definitely.
Is it part of the booing and responses by AFL etc? You may make your mind up if you watch.
Booooooooooooo umpires
That one will get filed along with Beaches and Titanic for mine.

I can tell you McGuire comes out of this looking horrible and tried to suppress a lot of it.

Considering how much we adore Tippa, I think people are daft ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ignorant morons. They want everything to be āracistā. Only thing that was, were McGuireās dumb comments.

I have no racist feelings towards him whatsoever ā¦but he made me so angry with his style of playing for frees, and kneeing. Could not care who he was, I booed his tactics, not his skin.

In fairness, why wouldnāt he?
ā ā ā ā of a footballer, important bloke.
For the record, I booed Adam Goodes the footballer, but I applaud the man. He actually diminishes his good work by overplaying the impact of the booing.

I have no doubt heās suffered a lot of racism. I never liked his combination of sliding knees first AND staging for fees. Nothing to do with race, but I guess boos donāt come with a motive to tell them apart. Itās quite probable that those who would boo him purely because of his play are in the minority. I donāt know.
The other side of it is that if everyone steps on eggshells and says nothing critical, prattish behaviour by the likes of Goodes and Serena Williams can sail by uncriticised.

Sureā¦ It was never about raceā¦
The incident became public when an Essendon supporter submitted an anonymous post on the clubās fan site, Bomberblitz, two hours after the Bombersā loss to the Swans.
āI could not believe what I heard from an Essendon member,ā the supporter wrote.
āLate in the first quarter, Adam Goodes got his first touch when he received an easy mark just inside 50.
āAt that stage, we (were) more than six goals down and no one was too happy that Goodes held the ball within kicking distance. There was ā¦ the banter you would expect to hear from a footy crowd.ā
Then the supporter claimed he heard someone say: āF*** off, Magilla the gorilla.ā
āI turned around and asked loudly, āWho said that?ā An adult male replied in a cocky manner, āI did.ā
