Football star stops midmatch to point out kid who yelled racist taunts
19 hrs ago
An Australian Rules football player was in the middle of a match when he heard someone shout a racial slur at him. He stopped, turned around and immediately pointed her out to stadium security. Yes, her. The person who shouted the word "Ape!" at Adam Goodes, who is an Australian Aborigine, was a 13-year-old girl. She was escorted out of the stadium, and Goodes said the entire situation broke his heart. "That's what hurt me so bad," the 33-year-old Sydney Swans star said. "When I turned around, I just saw this young face and … it was just sad." The girl later apologized to Goodes, and he has declined to press charges, hoping that she will undergo an "education program" instead. [Source]
