“F****** sick of having to see our Indigenous and multicultural players subjected 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 Brisbane Lions strongly condemn racist comments made about one of our players on social media.There is no place for racism in sport, or in society full stop.The Brisbane Lions celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture and the incredible contribution Indigenous players have made to our club and to our great game.
