Huge double standards here, a Hawks fan tells Heritier to "**** off back to Brazil" and the MCG attendants don't throw him out (he was thrown out for violence later on).
Guess only 13 year old Pies fans get thrown out.

A Hawthorn fan was reportedly escorted from the MCG on Friday night after making a racial slur against Brazilian-born Collingwood footballer Heritier Lumumba.
In the dying moments of the Hawks' 65-point win over Collingwood, a Hawthorn supporter sitting in the members' reserve was said to have yelled out to Collingwood defender Lumumba to "f*** off back to Brazil".
The slur was overheard by a group of Brazilian Collingwood supporters a few rows away, sparking a verbal row, according to a spectator who contacted The Age.
Supporters from both teams who overheard the comment subsequently called for the Hawthorn fan – a man aged in his late 20s – to be evicted from the match.
However, the spectator told The Age that when an MCG attendant came over to defuse the incident, he sat joking with the man and his friends, and declined to kick them out.
The spectator – who did not want to be named – said the MCG attendant instead motioned to the crowd that there were "only a few minutes left in the game" so evicting the man wasn't necessary.
