AFL: The Hawthorn racism saga has ended amid settlement with Indigenous former players.
The Hawthorn Football Club has settled its court case with a group of former Indigenous players, their partners and families on Wednesday evening.
“Hawthorn accepts that the allegations were made in good faith, and has heard, respects, and accepts that they represent their truths,” the club said in a statement uploaded to their website. “Hawthorn remains committed to providing a safe environment for First Nations peoples and the elimination of all forms of racial discrimination.
As a result of the findings, the club simultaneously announced the creation of a First National Advisory Committee, with Professor Barry Judd, Aunty Joy Murphy, Alan Thorpe and recently retired Hawk Chad Wingard the relevant panel, among several other commitments to improving aspects of their culture.
