ABOUT AFL & THE INDIGENOUS COMMUNITY

The Indigenous population makes up two and a half percent of the total Australian population; from this, 90,000 participants are involved with AFL programs around the country. Indigenous players make up more than 10% of our AFL list.

By the above it looks like there is an over representation of indigenous players in afl. I am thinking similar for nrl ?

There is no equivalent to collingwood in rl lol.

There used to be Western Suburbs Magpies. Are in NSW Cup these days.

The team were a bunch of nutters back in the day. Just like my cousins who supported them.

Well the AFL don't really have a team followed religiously by indigenous people like South's.

NRL is 12% indigenous
AFL is 10% indigenous

Can AFL really call themselves the indigenous game without a team that the aboriginal community follow strongly?

And with a lower percentage of indigenous players?

I think not.

Well, well, well...................Former AFL player says he suffered 10 years of racial abuse from within his own club!!!! Yep.........10 long years........from players & administrators in his own club!!!! Sad thing is no one will be surprised by this news coming from the cesspit of entrenched racism in the Australian Fumbling League!!!!!

Heritier Lumumba has demanded an apology from his former club Collingwood. He says he was ostracised internally after speaking out about the racism. He singled out the Coach Nathan Buckley and village idiot president Eddie Maguire.

He further stated his team mates nick named him Chimp!!!!! Yep!!!!! Ya read that right.........they called him Chimp!!!!!!! Shhhhheeeessssshhhhhhh!!!!! Can anything be worse than this!!!!! Incredible stuff!!!!!!

As per usual this story only came out after Lumumba retired and moved to Las Angeles due to the trauma this abhorrent rampant racism caused. So yep........he no longer came under the umbrella of hush money, MOU's and Gilty's propaganda & cover-up departments. So the poor bloke can now tell his story from the safety of distance. No one from fumble house can silence him now!!!!!!

Any comments beatup????????

I wonder how many KING KONG jokes Eddie mcChins made about this poor bloke ?

I for one find the revelations disturbing and well done to heratio for speaking out. It’s a shame how he was treated within the club and worse still after he spoke up. Disgraceful.

Yep. What I find unbelievable is his team mates actually called him 'chimp'!!!!!! I mean that is incredible in this day and age. Sadly the usual propaganda 101 will kick into gear & this will go away very quickly. Same old same old!!!!!!

Yep
Give it a few days for the propaganda arm of the afl to work out hush money or quieten the media .
Then this like a lot of problems will just disappear

This isn’t a new story. He did a documentary I think and has publicly came out with this previously.

Seems to be getting media

Afl should remove Eddie McGuire. How can Collingwood & league move on from racism claims while he's still around?

Lol it won't happen .
After the ape joke the afl media etc went into overdrive explaining how Eddie didn't mean it
He was tired
He was this or that . But never racist .
The fumblers on here were the same
All follow the same script ..

In any other sport in the world he would've been removed. In USA ppl are losing their jobs based on comments made quite sometime ago. Collingwood has an appalling record regarding Indigenous players - how they look to address this going forward with Eddie is beyond me

Not in the protective insular whitey ball bubble .
He has form being a racist
Yet he continiously gets a free pass .
