nothing to do with his race, everything to do with him being a dickhead on the footy field.

Here you go:
“It’s a bit disappointing. Once or twice or when I’m kicking goals, then definitely (it’s OK),” Mitchell said to the The Daily Telegraph.
“But every run was a bit disappointing.
“You see with big Nelson with the Parramatta supporters, it’s f***ing sh*t, to be honest.”
Mitchell went on to liken his situation to that of AFL legend Adam Goodes, whose career was cut short after continually copping it around the country by fans.
“Adam Goodes gave up his career because of it,” Mitchell said.
“It’s not nice because we cop it every day as it is, and regardless of what happens on the field, it stays on the field. They have control over what they do off (the field) when they come watch a game.
“They can be passionate, but there are different ways on the spectrum of that. It’s expected. It’s warranted.”
While he is clearly fed up with the crowds continual booing, the NSW representative confirmed his career wouldn’t be coming to a premature end.
But Mitchell still believes it is “disappointing” to be booed week in, week out — along with a host of other players who receive the same treatment.
“Melbourne aren’t a very welcomed team anywhere because of the success they’ve had (so that’s why Nelson cops it),” Mitchell said.
“I think it comes down to me being who I am. I’ll just cop what I cop.
“I didn’t cop it in Origin. It was more of a neutral thing when Queensland and NSW were going at it, but you just know it’s more of a personal hit when they’re going at me.
“It’s just their (Roosters fans) passion, but there are different ways of showing passion. I can’t change what happens. All I can control is what happens on the field.”Last edited by Andrew Walker; 09-06-2022, 08:48 PM.When you trust your television
