It still doesn’t make a case for racism however way you want to spin it. Nice ad hominem too by the way

How can you say that a guy who is being condescending towards other people because of their skin colour or cultural background is ok? How is it political correctness gone mad for people to call this sort of thing out? This is a pretty poor reflection on you if you think what jeff said is ok. Its not.

To be branded a racist is pretty ■■■■■■ insulting and i just think that we need to be pretty careful how its applied.
He commented that, on the basis of their appearance they would not know the culture.
So, that’s not racial stereotyping? Is he suggesting that security officers should be white like him?

I think he’s good enough to still make an impact in finals, but I hope I’m wrong. No doubt self reporting was a response to knowing the AFL were about to find out.
But I hate all of this hypocrisy from the AFL whereby they bank $1squillion from saturation gambling advertising and hammer individuals who are too weak to resist the temptation.
The AFL are partly to blame for the gambling addiction among players as their choice of revenue streams reinforce the idea that sport and gambling go together.

I sincerely hope that the Bulldogs’ banner next Sunday has a Gamblers’ Help message on it.

Or maybe experience of dealing with the Marvel security staff in person. I’ve found them almost entirely useless in terms of knowledge of where things are around the ground & my personal experience with them is that all the ones I’ve dealt with struggled with communication skills. Thats in contrast to the MCG who have staff on the isles who are there to assist not control or monitor.
Marvel would be far better served with less security staff but a higher quality, better trained & paid security force working in close partnership with the police. When the vast vast majority of patrons simply want to know where their seats are, where the toilets are & be left alone to enjoy their footy, having poorly trained & lowly skilled staff sent out to keep them in line is a recipe for tension & will see increases in violence.
Love this comment 
Keep the beans, I’ll have the mushrooms instead! Lol
Yes, it is a wider problem that can be sheeted home to the AFL and its gambling connections.
The player was sufficiently educated to know not to place bets on his own account, but dumb to brag about it. Could be a lot of smarter players around who are keeping their mouths shut, for all we know.
The AFL has peddled the narrative that the nature of our game means it’s harder to fix outcomes. This is an illustration that it’s not enough to track bets through registered bookmakers.
AFL needs to divorce the game from wagering.
