Must not joke about blacks

"Incorrect" footballers again

"Australian sport was plunged into a fresh racism row yesterday after one of AFL's elder statesmen described indigenous players as cannibals and too difficult to tell apart in the dark.

Former AFL hardman and Richmond player Mal Brown made the offensive remarks at a lunch in Melbourne to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the E.J. Whitten Legends Game.

"We have a distinct disadvantage the West Australians because the Victorians picked both sides," said Brown, who played and coached for most of his career in Western Australia.

"They cheated, they picked the best players. And because there were no lights, I couldn't pick any of the cannibals.

"All the good black fellows, we couldn't pick them because they couldn't see them in the light."
