The Brisbane Lions are shocked and appalled that it too has seen one of its players, Charlie Cameron, subjected to vile, racist remarks directed at him on social media over the weekend.
It’s racism and abuse, and the Club will not stand for it.
Brisbane Lions CEO, Greg Swann, said:
“I’m angry and disappointed that Charlie, and we as a footy Club as well as an industry have to constantly deal with this. I’m bewildered it continues to happen.
“It’s cowardly behaviour, hiding behind social media and abusing and attacking our players.
“We have reported the incident to the AFL Integrity Unit and beyond this statement, we want to take a strong stance against this happening and support any repercussions that the perpetrator may face.”
At the Lions we are a family and when one hurts, we all hurt.
This behaviour was called out by a Lions supporter who saw the remarks on social media and we encourage everyone to continue to call out unacceptable behaviour like this.
If you see something, say something.
