AFL: AFL 360 host Mark Robinson strongly believes Port Adelaide's Jeremy Finlayson deserves a suspension for using a homophobic slur against an Essendon player.
Port Adelaide forward Jeremy Finlayson has been suspended for three weeks by the AFL, as a result of his homophobic slur towards an Essendon player last Friday night.
The league took into consideration “his immediate apology and contrition” when handing down their verdict. “The AFL is very clear that homophobia has no place in our game, nor in society. We want all people in LGBTQI+ communities to feel safe playing or attending our games and we know the incident that happened on the weekend does not assist this goal. As a code we will continue to work together to improve our game as a safe and inclusive environment for all,” the statement read.
