If the AFL wanted to make many many more people check out these pages, they've been spectacularly successful.....
What were they supposed to do?
Some twerp teenaged intern from The Age gives them a ring ands asks what they think of a webpage they have previously not even seen, and what would you have them say?
In that situation they have to condemn the page, or else risk The Age running with an 'AFL condone racist website' angle.
Gutter journalism from a once-respected media outlet.
