Stay classy Perth.
AN investigation has been launched into reports a crowd member racially abused West Coast Eagles star Nic Naitanui at Sunday’s Western Derby.
The crowd member who allegedly shouted the abuse was reportedly at the eastern end of Domain Stadium but security guards were unable to identify the individual at the time.
Fijian-born Naitanui — a cult hero at West Coast and an AFL Multicultural ambassador — scored two goals for West Coast at Sunday’s derby, helping to narrow the Fremantle Dockers’ lead.
An Eagles spokesman said Naitanui had not heard the abuse during the game and the club was only made aware of it post-match.
Stay classy Perth.
