JESINTA Campbell, fiancee to Adam Goodes’ fellow Aboriginal and Swans teammate Buddy Franklin, has thanked Goodes for working to change the way Australia approaches race relations.
“My future children are going to be indigenous and because of his courage and his passion he is creating a better future for not only my children but all indigenous children,” she said on The Today Show.
“So for that, I have to say, Adam you are a champion on the field, off the field, and I will stand by you.”
No stranger to speaking out against bullies, Campbell was very critical of those who booed Goodes saying there was no other word for their actions but bullying.

ADAM GOODES ATTACKED FOR SPEAKING THE TRUTH
“Booing is a public form of bullying and Adam has come out and said that it is affecting him so everyone needs to stop,” she said passionately.
“If you continue to boo him you are bullying him. It’s affecting his welfare, it’s affecting his family and his friends”.
Campbell also made it clear her thoughts on whether the booing directed at Goodes was racist or not, explaining that those who had never experienced racism cannot understand how it feels.
“Is it racist? Yes, I think it is, and to anyone who has never experienced racial vilification, racism is just a word to them. “But for people who have experienced it, racism is a feeling and it’s a horrible feeling from what I have seen.”
