AFL great Eddie Betts has called for an apology from the AFL surrounding the Adelaide Crows’ controversial 2018 training camp, which he details in his new autobiography.
According to his autobiography, Betts was disrespected and offended as organisers misappropriated Aboriginal cultural rituals and used sensitive information against him.
In a statement released on Wednesday, the AFL said they acknowledge the hurt Eddie Betts, his family, his community and all Indigenous players experienced as a result of the camp. Adelaide Crows apologised to Betts, who has accepted the apology, and the former player is asking the AFL to do the same.
