abc.net.au/news/izak-rankine-responds-to-online-racism/102206474Adelaide Football Club player Izak Rankine has expressed his disappointment over a racist remark sent to him on social media.
Crows CEO Tim Silvers said the deliberate act of racially vilifying Izak Rankine was totally unacceptable and disgraceful, and the club would not stand for it."Equally, we must also take the time to understand the hurt it causes the person who has been targeted, as well as in this instance all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people."
Mr Silvers said the club was supporting Rankine and his family and that it had contacted the AFL's Integrity Department."From the Chairman and Board of Directors through to our players, coaches, staff and volunteers, we are determined to use our voice and platform to continue to make a stand," Mr Silvers said.
