Taylor Walker suspended for 6 weeks
« 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.

It was uncalled by Tex the word he used, though if it was wog,white or little c instead would the result have been the same?
