The NBA commissioner's recent decision to impose a life ban on the LA Clippers owner who recently was exposed for making racist remarks about the appearance of "a black man", hall of famer Earvin 'magic' Johnson, on his wife's twitter feed and being at a clippers game was a decision which really restores faith in humanity and society that things can and are done in regards to eradicating racism. Pity its an example on the other side of the world...
The AFL should have done the same to eddie McGuire who in my opinion expressed equally disgustingly racist comments given the context. I mean eddie made his king kong comment during Indigenous round just one week after a goodes expressed his utter disappointment at copping racism from a crowd member being called a gorilla. Then eddie comes out and calls him the biggest gorilla the world knows
The context is extremely similar with Eddie sitting at the pinnacle of a club, as Donald Sterling is at the Clippers. Both men's comments could, by ignorant wankers, be claimed that they were comments that were not overtly racist and therefore not really racist. Both men have a checkered past in relation to ignorant and insensitive comments. Both apologised profusely saying it was not their ''normal' self and that it was the context of the situation. Both have a history of apparently doing 'charity' for minority groups
. BUT. One gets a life ban and will be ousted whilst the other gets a few hours of "cultural awareness" training and returns to his perch at the top of the AFL tree.Whether you call it racism, ignorance, or go all soft and say it was a ''mistake' Eddie made, idiots like him should be made an example of and the AFL hasn't done so.
For shame AFL, for SHAME!
institutional racism is alive and well folks and you AFL boys best admit it's very present in your favourite organisation! 
liar extraordinaire
