So the lunatics in the media are out again because imho they got nothing better to write about as the media is filled with talentless hacks, for some reason boo'ing Buddy Franklin is being 'deemed' racists but at the same time not a single mention of the fact Tom Papley was also being booed by the opposition Collingwood supporters….
I might be 'way off' here but i dont 'really have an issue with fans booing opposition players [or even their own players if they dont perform] i think the media needs a story and the woke racism 'outrage merchants' are all the fade these days.
However im open to change is 'booing' Aborginal players racist but booing non-aboringal players not racist. Is booing just a bit of a jerk move from the crowd or is booing just part of competitive sport and the players are very well paid professionals and should accept that it creates atmosphere and is part of the game.
I dont support 'fans abusing players' ie calling someone out with a racist slur etc but i think booing is part of the game, fans generally do it to put opposition players off and i kind of feel like the talentless hacks in the media media are the racist for suggesting there is anything racist about it…esp not mentioning other players getting boo'ed because they are not a 'racial minority'
Buddy has been questioned, he doesnt want to talk about it. When the 'journos' questioned him he seemed to not give a stuff and is more seem geniunly more uncomfortable being lime light of this issue then being boo'ed on the pitch - credit to him for not making a big deal of it and just trying to get on with footy.
on the flip side, Collingwood football club has apologiesed to Buddy in a attempt to not be painted as racists which in the crazy PC world we live in i understand.
Believe me it will get to no booing umpires at he rate they are going .
It might cause the poor fellows ( shit woke people the better word ) too much stress .
