statement

“Racism of any kind does not belong in our game, nor in our society. We cannot tolerate it,” the statement read.

“Comments like these are extremely upsetting and cause significant hurt and harm for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. They are said to intentionally harm, and we continue to be confronted by them as a community.

“We’re saddened by the constant need to reinforce the negative impact this has on the individuals concerned, and all First Nations people.

“We will continue to make a stand and call out this behaviour, and use our voice to further educate our fans and the wider community.

“The club is supporting Jamarra, his family, and others within the club who have justifiably been impacted by this event.”

I’ve seen what was said to @westernbulldogs Jamarra Ugle-Hagan and it’s putrid. If any sporting code is serious about stamping out racism, this person needs a life ban & be made an example of. Let’s see their face! In 23 days it’s Winmar’s 30 yr anniversary of his stance! #racism pic.twitter.com/INQQgP25gO
