Goodness me, that’s from one of their own? Surely Eddie is outraged and the guy has been called out and his membership withdrawn?

Is there a thread on Stringer? I can’t see it but just saw he is expected to be out for 12 weeks.
Probably upgraded and offered him a job running their PR and Player Education Programs

That was pathetic by that Collingwood supporter. Good by Cox to call him out. Cox seems like a pretty decent bloke.

Probably one of Ed’s aliases
I wonder why there is no media coverage of this issue in the current climate?
As long as whoever said it doesn’t appeal the ban, Eddie will probably be proud of him.
Anyone able to link me to the Stringer thread if one exists? I have this issue that I can’t see every thread, I have to search for them, it’s really weird.
thanks all
Collingwood have released a statement
Collingwood Football Club condemns in the strongest possible terms the racial vilification of Travis Varcoe and abuse of Mason Cox on social media during last night’s match against Essendon.
The club has established that the author of an offensive social media post is not a member of Collingwood.
Offensive posts or comments in the past have resulted in the suspension or cancelation of memberships and an insistence on education and mediation before memberships can be reinstated.
The club asks for anyone involved in last night’s online conversation or who has details regarding the post or conversation to contact the club.
If possible the matter will be handed to authorities.
“The ignorance and prejudice in the comments is simply appalling,” Collingwood chief executive, Mark Anderson, said.
“Today, the football community willingly accepts that we have an obligation to put a stop to abuse of our people. I do not understand how such comments continue to be made.
“We stand with Travis and Mason and against vilification of this or any other variety and will do whatever we can to call these individuals to account.”

Maybe they can suspend Eddie on this guys behalf, after all he called Goodes and Ape?

Yeah, that is what scares me.
Lav tried to get him killed twice when he was wide open inside 50. Stringer never complains though, always just plays what’s in front of him.

I understand the saying don’t bite the hand that feeds you but the fact that mob actually releases that with a serious face is genuinely insulting.
