Brisbane Lions utility Callum Ah Chee has been racially abused online, days after being concussed in a controversial incident at the Gabba
“If my son grows up playing the game – I hope he doesn’t have to deal with this hate. It hurts and I’m sick to death of seeing it.”“Fucking sick of having to see our Indigenous and multicultural players subject to racism over and over again. If you see it, even if you might know these uneducated trolls on social media keep calling it out and report them.”
The Lions have reported the incidences to the AFL’s integrity unit and on Friday afternoon issued a statement condemning the behaviour. “It’s disgusting behaviour and we must, and we will, continue to call it out,” the club statement read. “There is no place for racism in sport, or in society full stop.”
The AFL also hit out at the abuse. “Nobody in our game or in the community deserves to be treated that way,” a league statement read. “We stand with Cal and Brisbane; there is absolutely no place for racism in our game at any level.”
