On this day in 1968, Black Olympic medalists Tommie Smith and John Carlos faced death threats and expulsion for protesting racial inequality. To overcome racial inequality, we must confront our history. calendar.eji.org/racial-inju…
Direct from the man who triggered much needed change. 👏
1/ 🏆 AFL Grand Final 2023: Recalling the magic of 2010, it's prompted deep introspection. In my first deep dive since retirement, I consumed EVERYTHING leading up to the game. I was deeply immersed again. #AFLGrandFinal2023 #Collingwood
The #Hawthorn #AFL investigation into alleged #racism has been shut down with no findings and no justice for any party. It is another example of why the 'independent investigation' model favoured by #sports is not fit for purpose. Neither accusers nor accused trust such a system. However, the AFL has done its best to ensure it is exempted from any further action expected in court or the Human Rights Commission.
Individual intent is irrelevant. The historical context of @CollingwoodFC fans booing a champion Indigenous @sydneyswans player at the MCG for no apparent reason simply cannot, and should not, be ignored. ✊👏

When a player is hurt, we stop the game.
Acknowledging someone else's pain is the right thing to do. We need to celebrate our nation in harmony with its traditional owners. Together we are stronger.
This is a @CollingwoodFC we can all be proud of. ✊
