The situation at Hawthorn is not just about the incident with the comments made about clothing. For Cyril and his wife, it was the last straw in a serious of things that happened at the club. If Cyril feels there was racial prejudice against him, then I believe Cyril.

Indigenous people have copped a lot over the years and it is no wonder they are very sensitive to anything that is said to them, no matter how innocent the comment may be.
