We have people spreading the hate for everyone from the PM to the disabled and refugees everyday.
Today we have Adam Goodes, who truly lived up to his name.

Perspective people. It was rude and disrespectful. I don't believe it's racist. A 13 yr old would look at Goodes, he does look somewhat like an ape in appearance. I doubt a collingwood supporter who's only 13yr would know the history of why that term would be considered racist.
I didn't know that calling an African American brother is considered racist. You can call me ignorant but not racist.
Racist implies intent. I use the terms wogs as a term of endearment amongst friends. I can be considered one. However it can be use in a racist way.
Anyways. I often have to remind people we are GREAT APES. So many ignorant religious people still thinks God created humans in our present form. I remember an episode where a religious figure called the police on a reporter because he called his family animals. It turns out he was just explaining the process of evolution of how humans evolved from other animals.
We are APES and proud of it. 😄

now she is being bullied by the AFL and lots of you here.
Not true. She's been lucky enough to get a wake-up call. That even a throw away disrespectful comment these days is instantly available for everyone to view or read. Tough lesson for that age. But maybe it will make a huge difference in her life, what direction it takes. And maybe other young kids might think that they need to be careful what they say or do in public.
The world has changed. This is they way it is. Learn that.

Seriously?? You don't think calling a black man an ape is highly racist? 😮
Oh come on MrGrizz. I suspect you are smarter than that. 😐
I think if you want to insult any hairy bearded person with Ape regardless of Race.
I saw the interview of the young girl. I'm convienced it wasn't racial.

Nobody is bullying her here and the AFL claim that is not their intention either.
Who says that to the person beating you team. No, footy supporter gives support/nice words to the opposition team.

The OP has explained the title of the thread, no bullying here. No one has named the child, no pics, she isn't posting here (in any case, she is not allowed to be here, under 18)
