Quote:Griffin McMaster calls for Adam Goodes to be 'deported' Date July 30, 2015 - 8:17AM
A former A-League keeper and soccer commentator has called for Adam Goodes to be "deported" over the booing controversy.
Griffin McMaster, a former Brisbane Roar and Wellington Phoenix keeper currently playing for Heidelberg United in the Victorian league, attacked the former Australian of the Year on Twitter – before promptly deleting the tweet.
Goodes has been booed by crowds at several stadiums where he has played with his team, the Sydney Swans. Earlier in the week Swans chairman Andrew Pridham labelled the booing racist. "If you're booing Adam Goodes I've got bad news for you," Pridham told Fairfax Media. "You're a racist. It's not acceptable when the only conclusion you can come to is that there is racism involved in the way the crowds are treating Adam."
Goodes and his teammates have been severely affected by the continued booing, and the player himself has taken several days off training to recover, while speculation is rife he is considering retirement.
The club confirmed late on Wednesday that Goodes will not play against the Crows this weekend.
McMaster apologised for the tweet on Twitter, but continued to defend his views to several users of the social media network who tweeted at him.
If anyone is offended. My apologies — Griffin McMaster (@griffinmcmaster) July 29, 2015
@adamOsaussies @scouse_roar not celebrating Aus day. Calling Aus day invasion day — Griffin McMaster (@griffinmcmaster) July 29, 2015
@SimonTOverall @simonil97 @jgrb read up everything. Australia said sorry. Couldn't everybody move on ? — Griffin McMaster (@griffinmcmaster) July 29, 2015
McMaster's club announced on Wednesday evening they would drop the player from their squad, due to compete in the Football Federation Australia Cup on Wednesday night.
In a statement Football Federation Australia said it "condemns the content of the tweets sent from Griffin McMaster's personal twitter account".
"Football Federation Australia (FFA) applauds Heidelberg United Football Club for standing goalkeeper Griffin McMaster down from tonight's Westfield FFA Cup match following a series of offensive tweets this afternoon." http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/griffin-mcmaster-calls-for-adam-goodes-to-be-deported-20150729-gin60a.htmlQuote:Adam Goodes 'unAustralian' says former Brisbane Roar goalkeeper Date July 29, 2015 - 6:02PM
Former Brisbane Roar goalkeeper Griffin McMaster has weighed into the Adam Goodes racism controversy by suggesting the dual Brownlow medallist and former Australian of the Year should be deported.
McMaster also described the Indigenous sporting hero as "unAustralian".
His outburst on Twitter has resulted in the gloveman being dropped from his Victorian club's FFA Cup march against Broadmeadow Magic in Newcastle on Wednesday night.
"The club has been made aware of comments on Twitter made by their goalkeeper Griffin McMaster and has made a decision to omit him from participating in tonights FFA Cup match," Heidelberg United said in a statement on its Facebook page.
"The club will investigate this matter and take appropriate action in due course."
Earlier, McMaster weighed into the Goodes controversy by suggesting the Sydney Swan be deported. "Adam Goodes calls Australia Day invasion day," McMaster wrote in a since-deleted tweet.
"Deport him.
"If you don't like it leave."
Goodes, 35, is of the Adnyamathanha and Narungga people, whose connection to South Australia goes back many thousands of years before European settlement.
The Sydney Swans star is considering immediate retirement from the AFL as the booing controversy threatens to run him out of the game.
Gold Coast-born McMaster, who played for the Roar between 2007 and 2010, was called out on his comments on Twitter.
In another since-deleted tweet, McMaster responded to criticism from Ben Clark, who has the user name @scouse_roar.
"Ben it's not about race though," he wrote.
"I'm saying he's unaustralian (sic)."
After deleting the tweets, McMaster apologised for any offence they may have caused.
McMaster, 32, also had a stint with A-League club Wellington Phoenix and now plays for former National Soccer League club Heidelberg United in the Victorian National Premier Leagues competition.
If anyone is offended. My apologies — Griffin McMaster (@griffinmcmaster) July 29, 2015 http://www.theage.com.au/sport/soccer/adam-goodes-unaustralian-says-former-brisbane-roar-goalkeeper-20150729-gin3ec.html

Let's be fair, he did go to Southport :lol:
He's probably got more in common with Bronwyn Bishop than actual footballers.

This from his wiki page:
"On the 29th of July 2015 he attracted considerable attention with an extremely racist and incoherent tweet relating to an AFL player."

If any other minority group was saying the same thing that is coming out of Goodes mouth, there would be front page news and a social backlash.
But because he plays the victim, we are all supposed to accept his view point as gospel and not be able to express our own view point.
I think it's a disgrace that in a supposed post PC world, only one view point is still valid. Hardly playing the fucking victim mate, he got racially abused and is confronting it head on and pissing people like you off. Wake up to yourself. Edited by Draupnir: 29/7/2015 06:06:46 PM
