Racism has no place in the AFL or our society more broadly.
It is divisive, hurtful and not welcome.
The Port Adelaide Football Club is aware of a racist social media post directed at Paddy Ryder following last night’s game in Perth.
Port Adelaide will support Paddy and its Indigenous players in dealing with the impact of this cowardly and ignorant comment, but it is clear that the AFL and its member clubs must remain vigilant in coming together to eradicate this behaviour.
Paddy and all Indigenous players across our competition deserve so much better.
