The Adelaide Football Club strongly condemns any form of racial vilification and considers such behaviour abhorrent and disgusting.

An offensive social media comment directed at one of our players reinforces the need for everyone to play a role in eradicating racism from not just our game but the wider community.

Crows CEO Andrew Fagan said it was disturbing that racism still existed in football and society, adding that sport should be about bringing people together whether they be players, coaches, administrators or fans. 

“In listening to our playing group and our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander players in particular, it is clear how damaging and impactful racism is to them and their families,” Fagan said.

“Put simply, it must stop and all of our players, coaches, staff and Board are united in our stand against such cowardly behaviour.”
