Finally the players themselves are making a stand about racist comments in Australia football codes, especially AFL and NRL. Heads have rolled and people have been sacked. Great!
Victims of racial vilification have had enough and so they should. I support their stand. This is also a great opportunity to address sexism in sport.
The male players feeling the pain of racist slurs now understand how women demeaned by men have felt for years.
What about it guys? Racism is prehistoric and so is sexism. Can we put the same enthusiasm into stopping calling our football mates when they egage in sexism?
I sincerely hope so – that is how humanity evolves. See my blog – Why I wrote ‘Kicking a Goal for Masculinity’
