An 'angry' Caroline Wilson has revealed why the AFL failed to take action over a damning reporting into abuse of female umpires. 'It's just astounding.'
"Teenage girls forced to share changing rooms with middle aged men. Women umpires verbally abused and sexually harassed."But equally disturbing is the fact that nobody cared enough about this women's issue to actually have a look at it."Doubts over Simpson's long-term Eagles future"It's all very well to say that the AFL have been going through COVID-19, and that there's been cutbacks and that they were busy last year trying to get the season on the go.
"To say now the commission's doing something about it, the game's putting money into this and other women's issues is frankly horrifying to me."
