Poor Neville Jetta, he gets racially abused and nobody seems to give a stuff.

82

How's that re-engaging with The Age working for us?

83

I'll boo whoever the fark I want to boo, and I've just added Greg Baum to that list

84

Essendon fans stand up to racist, Booo! Essendon fans are all racists!

Swans fan jumps on the bandwagon days later, Booo! Essendon fans are all racists!

85

I don't like being called a racist.

86

I promise not to boo when The Age goes bust and this ■■■■ ends up 'writing' for Sportal or some garbage.

87

I don't like being called a racist.


I would rather get called a racist than a writer for the age
88

Boo urns

So did that Sydney supporter report the incident to either club or the afl? Or did she just go straight to the age?

If it’s the latter, it doesn’t help anyone resolve the issue and it seems pathetically attention seeking.

Also fark the age. Next time they sack a bunch of staff I hope it’s from the sports opinion writing department.

I think its great that people are reporting this bullshit, and calling people out on their racist commentary.

 

I'd imagine that as a result of this, there will be an upsurge of supporters (from all teams) being outed publically for this in the next few months. Which of course, will lead to headlines like "Surge in Racism" (which is obviously negative), when the actual story is a surge in the reporting and shaming of racists, which is of course a positive thing.

 

Every club has these idiot supporters. At least ours is calling them out and we should be applauded, not derided by the idiot press.

91

For all we know it could have been a very vocal Sydney supporter (article doesn't specify)  :rolleyes:

92

I’m traveling to the Sydney vs EFC game in Sydney just to boo Adam Goodes.

93

We are the most hated club and guess what. I LOVE IT

Hahaha this! It'll only make our success in the next 2-3years even sweeter!
94

Well Greg is trying to defend his position to me on Twitter.  Trying.....

95

That is a horrible article full of such crap. 

96

Nah,see I’d take the hatred if it was for us being good but at the moment were kicked for the most rubbish reasons. It’s like logic gets thrown out the window when it comes to us. It’s farked and I’m over it.

97

I’ll be writing to the age tonight because of that rubbish article. I advise others to do the same please.

Absolutely fuming atm. Farking Eddie FatGuire didn’t get this much ■■■■.

98

Actually Eddie did cop a lot until he turned himself into the victim.  Still can't get over how he switched it like.  Just... wow.

Yep, pretty much. Let's compare the pair:
BBall CEO gets banned for life.
Coll boss gets nothing.

I express my deepest sympathies to Rohan Connolly and Emma Quayle for having to be associated with The Age.
