typical afl loving media, done and dusted lets move on.
as much as the afl wants to sweep it under the carpet, the fact remains that all the afl clubs have disgraceful/racial supporters

Can you imagine if it happened at an aleague game or local "soccer" game?

As much as the media has portrayed this incident as racial etc, did anybody stop to think about the poor banana in this incident?
What did the banana do to be treated in that way?

:wink:

While the banana is bad enough, witness statements gathered suggest when confronted, she said "why not? He's a monkey" and had been calling him a black C all night.

There's lots of information out there to garnish the full story if you are really interested.

'Black' is pretty indicative of race.

Why wasnt she reported earlier then? The ground has a notice to report any racist behavior to security.
Were all the feral bogans around her condoning it?

Because when security turns up, she shut her mouth. Can't boot someone without the proof.

Hence why they were recording at the time. (So I've read).

That's rubbish. Security can eject whoever they want, its purely discretionary.
