HOOPER BOMBs BROWNE!

read the whole thread

 

Its just a case of the IOC acting like the small minded Nazi/Dinosaurs that they always have been.

 

What bull**** :roll:

 

When u try and make something that is suppose to be a celebration of peoples talents into a nanny state...what else would you call it

 

What the **** are you talking about?

It's the Olympics not a celebration of Australian Aboriginal heritage

I've had to type this 47 times & still some of you thick heads don't get it, what if all the hundreds of other minorities chose to make statements, celebrate their minority status within a nation?

Would that be the Olympics? Or a political **** fight?

 

Hey ********..

How is wearing a Tshirt with a flag making a political statement? Maybe just maybe the guy is proud of his heritage and wanted to give sometrhing back to his parents or ancestors..... The people saying it politically motivated need to wake the **** up.

He hasn't made any statements regarding it, so how is it politically motivated?

Go back to bashing ****s on Cronulla beach you ****ing imbecile.

 

it may not have been his intent to make a political statement, but that is the way that it has been interpreted and therefore he should not have done it imo. It isn't enough that he left training camp to get a sleeve tattoo displaying his proud indigenous heritage so he has to wear a shirt also? to me it just displays a lack of maturity and bit of disregard for the australian olympic team of which he represents, but thats just my opinion and i dont expect everybody to see it that way.

 

At the end of the day if the kid keeps producing the results then thats all that should be focused on.

 

Actually mate it is a statement because he choose not to wear the appropriate clothing........ Is it a polictical statement? :think It's an aboriginal flag so maybe it is....... if it was a Pepsi t-shirt i would say not politically motivated but a sponsor issue and he would be in deep ****.

I believe he has come out and made a number of statements along the lines of being a proud aboriginal..... nothing wrong with that, but it does appear he is focussing on one part of his culture therefore it could be seen as a political statement. :good

I like the cronulla bit at the end :yep

 

At the end of the day it does'nt matter what the reason was , political which if it was , i'm sure someone put him up to it for publicity, or if it was for aboriginal pride , it does'nt really matter .

The facts are thsi kid has talent and the Aussie taxpayer , through the AOC has recognised that talent , wether they recongnised was the aboriginal part or the white part , or both ,, it don't matter , because at the end of the day , there has been a lot of funding and time gone into this kid to help him reach his dreams , and only a few guidlines and rules to follow ,, and he can't do that , cos the kid has a chip on his shoulder , he can't control himself , and personaly , i don't think he has the discipline to make it in the pro's ,

So has far has i'm concerned the kids future boxing days has an ameteur should be finished , why should the taxpayer fund anymore trips abroad for him when he cannot represent us overseas , with pride , he broke the I O C rules it reflects on us , makes us look like a country of yobbos and dero's who cannot behave .

So let hm go pro ,, and even then has a pro , here in Australia he won't get fights most will duck him , so money will have to be spent on building his carreeer , alls i can say is any promoter who wants to invest in this guy , GOOD LUCK , cos to be honest he'll only **** it up , until he gets that giant chip off his shoulder , and grows up . No promoter is gonna do anything except THROW HIS MONEY AWAY .

 

Hey "********" whatever the hell that is

What you & your ilk need to realise is, these olympics, any olympics arent about ****ing Australia!!! The kid needs to stop being so arrogant & ignorant & realise there are more appropriate forums for chest beating & public pride in his ethnicity

There are hundreds of other nations there & most of them entertain more than one ethnic, racial, religious minority who may or may not have more serious grievances than Aboriginals, they abide by the rules & the laws, the Olympics are a very serious international event, the ideals are adhered to incredibly rigidly, there are hundreds of oportunities where Aboriginal Australia can celebrate their heritage & culture & i'm all for that, i've argued on here in threads that have gone 47 million ****ing pages for equality & Aboriginal advancement etc, my stance is far from racist

 

He wins Gold he wont need to turn pro. He could retire on endorsments alone being the 1st Aussie to win gold for boxing, its the holy grail of amateur boxing Trumpy.

As for political statment, thats garbage, its an Offical Australian flag, one of several infact and is legal. Its not the IOC thats kicked its heels up about it, its the AOC.

Did you watch the 2000 Sydney Olympics?

Have you also seen the harbour Bridge? It flys two flags, one is the Aussie flag, the other is the Aborignal flag.

The Australian flag is infact more political than the Aborignal flag..

 

theres no point trying to convince people that its ok because its one of the official flags of Australia ( its not "the national flag" however), thats a national issue, a domestic issue, these Olympics arent about Australia, we're just one little cog in the big wheel that is the Olympics, the IOC can just tell us to get ****ed & toe the line & so they should

The IOC recognises Australia as having ONE National flag ( forget that there are several official flags) & that flag is raised at medal ceremonies etc, no other, i imagine if he wentr to the ring with an Australian flag he still would have been sanctioned, he was told, all athletes were told what they were to wear & he didnt do the right thing

 

Just watched his last fight on replay against the Russian. He is a work in progress and I am only guessing (as I don't know him personally) that he thinks he is a better fighter than what his skills (in this fight anyway) showed. His footwork is very clumsy and he has a extremely bad tendency to drop his hands and rely on his hand speed alone to tag his opponent. The Russian was disciplined and was picking him off at will at one stage. He could became a good fighter but he needs to hook up with an experienced, old school trainer to work on his bad habits, especially if he has plans to turn pro in the very near future.
