MELBOURNE: Australian Football League club Richmond Tigers have handed a two-year ban to a supporter who made racially abusive comments about a West Coast Eagles player on social media.
"Racial vilification has no place in our game, and no place in our society, and the club will continue to take strong measures to ensure there is zero tolerance to this behaviour," the club said in a statement. AFL executive Tanya Hosch said the league had noted what appeared to be"an increasing number of racist posts appearing on the players', and broader, online platforms.""The AFL took action regarding on-field racism over 20 years ago, we take action at our stadiums and grounds, but we are now facing vicious commentary appearing on players own accounts, and industry platforms," Hosch said.
