Scandal Racist Messages sent to Willie Rioli

[Taper]

isn't his claim to being indigenous is because he has an indigenous step father figure in fabian Francis?

He has aboriginal heritage that he learned about thanks to Fabian. Similar to Wayne Carey learning about his aboriginal heritage later on in his life.

 

[Rustica]

Let's not automatically condemn Collingwood fans here. Doesn't appear to be anything saying they are unless the club itself has identified them.

Without knowing instagram well, do you have to add your real phone number or anything to sign up? Can these scumbags be identified at all?

Disgusting. 100% bandwagon racist dogs.

 

[sherb]

When will people learn? Stop ******* giving attention to lowlifes.

I get where you are coming from but, on the other hand, how do you deal with an issue if you pretend it doesn't happen?

That’s not “ indigenous blood” as you stated.

Who said topretend it didn't happen?

You could:
-suspend their account
-suspend their membership if they are a member
-contact their employer
-contact their family
-contact police if necessary

And if they are anonymous then just ignore it because words carry 0 value if people aren't willing to put their identity next to it.

But just don't give low life's any attention.

 

[maskmcgee]

if he did something scummy on or away from the field which didnt seem to be the case

Didn't he king hit some Collingwood player seconds before taking a mark and kicking a goal in the last quarter?

Hardly. He gave him a slap across the head.

None of that happens if you stop giving attention to them.

Of course it does. Players should just report it to the club.

Collingwood condemn racist messages sent to Port’s Rioli after Saturday night clash

Magpies CEO Craig Kelly said ‘abhorrent and disgusting’ racist remarks were directed towards Willie Rioli

www.theguardian.com

No place for it in the game but Collingwood does have a history in this space.

Discuss.

How do we know they were Collingwood supporters?

 

[Port 2004]

Turn it up.

Well he is correct.

 

[Outtatym]

Well he is correct.

Sure, but that's not the reason he was being booed.

 

[DopeMaster]

Nick Daicos was getting booed too, that ‘cause Port supporters are racist against Macedonians?

 

[Registered User]

Hardly. He gave him a slap across the head.

He's been offered two weeks

It was a nice whack, doesn't hurt for our boys to get toughened up

He'll be nicely rested for the finals, where I suspect he'll be very dangerous

Proven finals performer

 

[Donakebab]

If they can be identified they should receive life bans from attending any matches. s**t actions that should have consequences.

 

[Off Tap]

Hardly. He gave him a slap across the head.

The way he went down flaying on the ground it looked like he was hit with a shotgun.

 

[South of the Yarra]

No, challenge, call out and shame racists.

 

[South of the Yarra]

He does have Aboriginal blood but that is not why he was being booed.

 

[Anzacday]

Collingwood have lots of supporters = more dickheads than other clubs.

Finally someone who get its

 

[South of the Yarra]

Is his mum indigenous?. His biological father is unknown.

I believe his Mum is a Wardaman lady

 

[Roby]

Every club has bad supporters but some clubs seem to pop up more than others

There's more Collingwood supporters so there is more likelyhood of more incidents from them.

I've heard racist things from many different supporter basis at the footy or even out in general public. Most of the racist things I've heard at the football are from Hawthorn supporters by far, but I guess that's because I mainly sit with them.

This is not about booing. Did you not read the OP?

 

[ZionMig22]

Are we really surprised this crap still happens to our Indigenous players???

Police need to start getting involved and these scumbags need gaol time
