Australian cricketing great has come under fire after weighing in on the Adam Goodes debate and whether fans should boo the Aboriginal AFL player.
As AFL and NRL players rally behind Goodes, who has taken extended leave and is reportedly considering retirement, Shane Warne tweeted the booing had nothing to
do with racism.
"This whole Adam Goodes drama is ridiculous. The public can boo or chant whoever's name they want! It's nothing to do with being racist... ," Warne wrote.
"If the public don't like a sportsman because of the way they play the game, they boo, if they like them they cheer, nothing to do re racism."
Warne was bombarded with responses from fellow Twitter users saying he was off the mark.
