Racism, abuse — it’s just not footy, says Chris McDermott

FOOTY is a game that unites the fans. It must never be used to divide us like it was Saturday night at Showdown 41, writes Chris McDermott. Replay Bone’s live blog here.

EDUCATION, education, education.

It’s a never-ending process.

The incident at Showdown 41 at Adelaide Oval on Saturday night is a clear indication there is still so much work to do.

The young woman in question did the crime and now she’s got to do the time.

The battle against racism will be won one person at a time.

Eddie Betts has been the hero in this saga.

He was all class in the lead up to his 250th game and all class after it.

Through Eddie the football community and the greater population of this country will learn.

Everyone should be treated with respect.

Footy is a game that unites us. It must never be used to divide us.
