Deeply ashamed' Walker cops lengthy ban and huge fine after racial slur

Read story here

6 match ban plus fines.

Disgusting in this day and age.

Top bloke though….

If they wanted to make a statement 10+ would’ve been it. I watched the closing the gap presser yesterday and felt optimistic as a country and people it was moving in the right direction. Which we may genuinely be. But one of the most recognisable footy players in the country doing this not helping the cause. One of my framed footy records is from the 90’s with the headline ‘Racism: The games up’ and I got Alan Joyce (coach), Scott Wynd (capt) and Richard Osborne (FF) to autograph it. 25 years on from that, and racism is still in the fabric of things, be it this and everything at Collingwood. Just a sad and disappointing reminder that the work of combating hateful ignorance is never done. It’s going to be awkward for indigenous players at Adelaide to share a side with him.

The professor just got a huge case study for his PhD.

What did he say?

From what I have read there was an incident during the game between Young and a Crows player that Tex took exception to. At the huddle in one of the breaks Tex apparently said to one of the Crows players something along the lines of smash that black c-word. Crows official overheard him and reported it.

He should have known better but has copped a decent whack.
Hopefully others have also learned a lesson.

After their ‘camp’ you’d think the lesson was in practice. I wonder if like after the ‘camp’ some indigenous players don’t feel as welcome there now. He didn’t try to hide it. One account says the comment was at/to Matt Crouch, with at least two players and two admin staff confirming they heard it. I did feel for Nicks though, having to face the media for something he didn’t say.

Black C

The big tell will be how the official who reported it is treated internally.

Is this where we talk about what a beautiful field kick he is?

What a chud.

What he said was sickening and abhorrent but if he had just called the player a ‘c…’ without references to race it would have been ‘acceptable’ I take it? The AFL doesn’t seem to think too much about the sentiments of its many female supporters.

What a rolled gold dickhead!

They certainly don't.

Hopefully he never plays again.
