Or the person who took the video
Serious question, did it make you laugh or make you angry?
Yep clearly its a case of the ones who are actually decent human beings that just happen to support the tingles, vs those that support and embrace the toxicity of their franchise.

Full statement.......
PUBLIC STATEMENT OF THE PARTIES PURSUANT TO THE PEEK RULE (RULE 35) OF THE AFL RULES
An incident occurred at a SANFL match on July 17, 2021, at Prospect Oval between the Adelaide Football Club and the North Adelaide Football Club. Taylor Walker of the Adelaide Crows, who was not playing in the match, made a racist comment regarding North Adelaide player, Robbie Young, to an Adelaide Crows teammate who was playing.
An Adelaide Crows official overheard the comment and reported the incident to the club who reported it to the AFL. The incident was then investigated by the AFL Integrity Unit under the Peek Rule (Rule 35 of the AFL Rules). This is a confidential process until completed.
A complaint was laid under the AFL Rules which alleged that Taylor Walker had engaged in prohibited conduct.
Under the Peek Rule, which relates to discrimination and racial and religious vilification, any such complaint is to be conciliated.
On 5 August 2021 that conciliation was held in Adelaide.
The conciliation involved Taylor Walker, Robbie Young, the Adelaide Crows official and the AFL.
The conciliation was successful. Rule 35.7 provides:
Where a complaint is resolved by conciliation, the only public statement that shall be made concerning the complaint and its resolution shall be that agreed upon by the parties.
This is that statement.
During the conciliation, Taylor Walker apologised to Robbie Young and the official for his conduct. Both accepted the apology. Taylor Walker expressed his sincere remorse for his comments and expressed his commitment to being an active participant in addressing racism within the game, and society. Taylor Walker has made the following comments:
“There is no excuse or justification for the words I said. They are unacceptable and I take full accountability for that. I am deeply ashamed. I did not intend to cause harm, but I know and understand that I have caused deep hurt to the official who reported the matter and to Robbie Young, to both of their families and to the wider Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community. I apologise to all of them and to the Adelaide and North Adelaide Football Clubs.
I ask that you respect the wish of the official who reported this matter not to be identified.
Today’s process has led to a deeper understanding of the hurt that I have caused, and I am embarrassed, ashamed and remorseful.
The official who reported this showed courage and leadership in calling out what I said, and I am determined to do what I can to emulate his actions.
I want to be an active participant in addressing racism in our game and the wider community. This starts by educating myself so I can influence others and make a positive difference moving forward.
I know I need to back up my apology with action, and this is my commitment.”
AFL Executive General Manager Inclusion and Social Policy Tanya Hosch, who attended the conciliation on behalf of the AFL, thanked all parties for their cooperation throughout the conciliation process and reinforced that racism, regardless of where it occurs has no place in football or the community. Ms Hosch additionally made the following comments:
“Racist actions and behaviours are inexcusable.
The AFL strongly condemns the racial vilification of our football community including our players, staff, and their families, across all levels of our game.
I would like to acknowledge everyone involved in today’s conciliation process, especially the Adelaide official and Mr Young for calling out the behaviour and/or taking a stand against racism by their involvement in this process.
I have no doubt Mr Walker is remorseful, understands that his comments can trigger trauma and seriously impact the mental health of the individuals, families and communities involved and he has accepted his sanctions.”
Through the conciliation, the parties have agreed the complaint can be resolved in the following manner:
1. Taylor Walker will not play in the Adelaide Crows’ remaining 3 matches of the 2021 AFL Season and will not play in the first 3 games of the 2022 AFL Season;
2. Taylor Walker will make a donation in the sum of $20,000 to an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Program in South Australia (as approved by the AFL acting reasonably and within five (5) days of details being provided to AFL by Taylor Walker, failing which it will be deemed to be approved);
3. Taylor Walker will undertake an education program. The education program requires AFL approval, acting reasonably, within 5 days of details being provided to AFL by Taylor Walker, failing which it will be deemed to be approved if it comprises:
5. By 23 August 2021, Taylor Walker will privately address players of the North Adelaide Football Club to apologise in relation to his prohibited conduct.

I took the time to dive in the Crows thread..... in that thread, not one thought of putting 2 and 2 together to realize why they can not hold on to indigenous players whilst Tex has been there.
The meltdown has began on their board......

Before I start I am not defending racism but something is wrong here.............
We see assaults in the workplace and some of those assaults are extremely dangerous and risk death and serious injury. Result 1 to 6 weeks.
Say something offensive including racial discrimination which under Australian law is NOT a criminal offence and you get 6 weeks.
Both are wrong but the balance is not right. What I feel is one impacts the AFL sponsorship and thus bottom line and the other doesn't.
FTR I am suggesting penalties for assault should be increased, not penalties for racism decreased

Still a dumbarse, but that apology is about the best they could've done in the circumstances. Maybe they have learned some lessons from the camp coverup.

Unless they've given him a 100+ game suspension I don't think he's gonna miss out on any Crows finals as a result.Ted to miss out on finals.

Finally their supporters can move on from the bargaining stage to the depression stage of this process. Or maybe the depression stage starts during the Showdown..
