Western Bulldogs Statement
The Western Bulldogs strongly condemns the harmful and abhorrent racist remarks aimed at Jamarra Ugle-Hagan, during and following last night?s match against St Kilda.
Racism of any kind does not belong in our game, nor in our society. We cannot tolerate it.
Comments like these are extremely upsetting and cause significant hurt and harm for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. They are said to intentionally harm, and we continue to be confronted by them as a community.
We're saddened by the constant need to reinforce the negative impact this has on the individuals concerned, and all First Nations people.
We will continue to make a stand and call out this behaviour, and use our voice to further educate our fans and the wider community.
The Club is supporting Jamarra, his family, and others within the Club who have justifiably been impacted by this event.
The Club has contacted the AFL Integrity Department, and thanks the St Kilda Football Club for investigating the matter and working to identify the individuals concerned.

There are a lot in society who still have a bit of growing up to do.

Re: Western Bulldogs Statement
Low life piece of shits out there with this sort of gutter mentality. I hope they are tracked down and banned and publicly hung.

I dunno, maybe put 'em in the stocks for a few days.............but don't hang them in public.
What gutter trash these people must be though. Every club's got fowl supporters but there's something super fowl about a fowl Saints supporter and I'm really glad not to have gone to the game for that reason.
I hope everyone's doing their best to make JUH feel valued, and special to us.
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

Perhaps put a media/video camera in their face and get them to try to explain the iconic Nicky Winmar photo…

Always unacceptable but even more so from the club fans of Nicky Winmar's team.
The current Saints indigenous players must be impressed.
The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride.

After the game some real idiot supporters screaming and yelling as we walked towards Southern Cross

Bit extreme, even for racist assholes. I assume you mean to make a public example of their actions and not actually hanging them! I'm no death penalty advocate, but if I was I'd start with murderers, rapists, pedos and other assorted filth first.

Hahaha.
Well said Sedat.
May "woke" always be a great word.
It means awakened to our wrongs that need righting,
like public abuse of aboriginality.

You'll be right, BIDS, I haven't heard even an Irish joke this Century. How could anyone dump on a western country and former British colony led by a gay of sub-continental ethnicity ?
