A young kid up for the AFL draft has had a pile on of abuse because he's Jewish. Yep, you heard that right.........the sport that specialises in race based abuse and discrimination has now turned to anti-semitism.
Ya just can't make this shit up. What a game.

Disgusting, bloke hasn't even played a game yet and the racists and bigots that are inherent to that sport have already begun.

"AFL legends Garry Lyon and Tim Watson have been criticised over an SEN radio segment in which they failed to call out and condemn anti-Semitic comments from a caller.
The comments, made by regular caller ‘John from Epping’, centred around North Melbourne draft pick Harry Sheezel, the first Jewish person to be drafted to the AFL since 1999.
During a call to Melbourne’s SEN Breakfast program on Friday December 2, John, a passionate North Melbourne fan, was asked about his team’s performance in the draft a few nights earlier.
In response the North fan repeated a harmful stereotype of Jewish people, while referencing the fact that the Kangaroos are paid by the Tasmanian government to play home games on the Apple Isle.
“We got this Jewish player (in the draft),” John said.
“You know, the Jewish, they are loaded with money, so maybe, we don’t need to go to Tasmania anymore, because probably if we needed some money his parents might pay for it.”"
These AFL supporters, is there any non-Anglo race or ethnic group they haven't targeted with their racism? What a pathetic sport.

Sporting leagues attract doltish spectators. I think the poor attitudes are slowly dissipating with the pain it can cause.
Good on Harry Sheezel and I wish for him success as an individual.
