Title: Taylor Walker suspended for 6 weeks
Post by: one-eyed on August 06, 2021, 05:30:59 PM

Adelaide Crows star Taylor Walker has been banned for six games by the AFL after the league found he made a racist comment at an SANFL game.

Walker, who has apologised for the incident, will also have to make a donation of $20,000 to an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander program in SA.

The comment was made in reference to North Adelaide player Robbie Young — who is Aboriginal and used to play for AFL side St Kilda — during a Crows reserves match in the SANFL on July 17.

The comment was reported by an Adelaide Crows official, sparking an investigation by the AFL Integrity Unit.

Just curious.
