Not true, the booing started a year or two after his 2006 Brownlow when he got caught clearly staging for a free kick on video.
Then a couple of years back Hawthorn started booing Goodes because he nearly wrecked one of their defenders by sliding into him feet first.
The current booing issue has only recently gained momentum because of the stuff Goodes does. In my opinion Adam Goodes is the beat up merchant. Why he is doing it I cannot know, but perhaps he wants you to think the booing is about race because it is less embarrassing than if it's about staging!
But other players stage all the time as well and they don't get booed.
I have never said every booee is racist, I have said a portion of them are, as well as a portion of Australians are racist. I think that we can all agree on.
