Kevin Sheedy's Attack on 'Un-Australian' Wanderers

[Burgerman]

Excellent article Mack well said

 

The disturbing part is the amount of wasted tax payers money spent on there infrastructure scammed from the government on top of there own $200million investment

 

 

 

His comment felt like it was premeditated as i remember him saying something very similar on "thebackpage" not long ago,he will hopefully get punished by AFL knobs.I agree with Erebus and Paulg23 in saying he probably said it for attention, to either cover his teams poor performance or rally up people to hopefully come and go to the next home game.

 

 

Kevin Sheedy time for you to retire pack your bags and go back to the hole you came from and take GWS with you

pretty much his comments are the attitudes of much of the AFL media and many fans of the AFL

That's like calling all wanderers fans hooligans.

 

Kevin Sheedy is no racist. He's spent decades helping the indigenous community.

 

Silly comment tho, ill give you that.

[JamCal]

Kevin Sheedy is not racist. Kevin Sheedy is Xenophobic.

[ManfredSchaefer]

One interesting thing...will Sheedy be censured anything along the lines of David Morrow? Will the AFL big-wigs or the O&B Clowns GM come out and disown his statements, or soft-soap them?

Kevin Sheedy is not racist. Kevin Sheedy is Xenophobic.

 

Fear of the other...hmmm, nicely nuanced JamCal!

Probably not. The bed wetting, hankie suck, hand wringing left take it personally when one of their own makes stupid comments.

LOL...you've been watching too many episodes of The Bolt Report Zip

Just a quote from a AFL board:

 

"Western Sydney is full of immigrants from countries where soccer is often the only game, so they would be naturally attracted to the Wanderers.

 

We have a real challenge on our hands, because the culture of western Sydney is very different from Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth, Tasmania, and the retirees of the Gold Coast - it's not traditional Australia. We're like foreigners in our own country."

 

foad AFL.

i apologise a few fans do have the opinion which was expressed by sheedy but i did not mean to paint all AFL fans with the same brush i still think it is more the wording than anything i dont think he intended to cause such a stir and if he reworded his statement i doubt anyone would be talking about it but its really hard to be able to know his intent

Where was this taken from?

It's like Western Sydney is being considered like a lost tribe found deep in the Amazon. Ridiculous.

I think you'll find the masterminds at the AFL have a new merchandise item to help calm the fears of anyone coming into contact with the Effnicks of Western Sydney...

Quality.

Should destroy the AFL Stadium and replace em with a 35000 seat stadium for the WSW.

Not sure what the issue is with Sheedy's comments. Most Wanderers fans are probably ethnic immigrants. It's our challenge to enlighten them and show them the Australian game.

And just to clarify I don't have an issue with these immigrants supporting soccer. Given where they came from, soccer is probably all they know. We have to show them that in Australia, there is a better alternative available.

well that was vomit inducing

[RBBKopite]

 

Another idea is Wanderers fans uniting an holding a protest outside skoda stadium next GWS home match.

 

You're doing it wrong. Really, we shouldn't be giving them any attention. Just popping up outside the stadium will give the media fuel to again call us hooligans and thugs when we're really not about that. Let them dig their own grave.

Shakey is 100% correct. Deprive the bitter troll of attention and his infantile, racist rants will stop. On the other hand if you show up within 10km of one of their games, you'll no doubt be counted as part of their attendance figures.

[Kizza]

It's funny because he brought up WSW totally out of the blue, without being prompted.

 

He's said it before and nobody paid attention....

 

SO he said it again at a press conference to make sure someone printed it, its just for publicity/hes a racist ****rag

[matty]

I took his comments as tongue in cheek after seeing the video. From what I understand he's a cheeky bugger.

 

Having said that, ridiculous comments.

 

As far as the 'bigfooty' forum quote, it's just a random forumite - ignore.

[HungHuynh]

Amaze me how many ignorant afl fans out there that don't understand the difference between illegal migrant and legal migrant.

 

We'll see how much media they control today.

[westofcentre]

Eddie McGuire called WS the land of the falafels. Now Sheedya comments. The powers that be obviously respect the area and don't see it as a way to get more money through TV rights and from the government

Explaining to them the damage the association with that racist embaressment known as the GWS is doing them. Especialy in an area where they can capture a decent size of the market with their cars.

[Burztur]

The thing is he just pissed off his western sydney - the region that he wants people to become members... Insert sydney FC fan gif

[Ian]

Our fans are from Western Sydney, a number of our players are from western sydney and parra is our home. GWS on the other hand are all from elsewhere and played their first home game in western sydney in round 7.... and we're the outsiders?
