In the aftermath of Andy Haden's moronic comments, Tamana Tahu's stand against Andrew Johns there is now this.
MELBOURNE - Senior Australian Rules football figure Mal Brown sparked outrage on Thursday after calling Aboriginal players "cannibals", the sport's latest row over alleged prejudice.
Brown, a respected former player and West Australia coach, made the remarks - intended as a joke - while speaking at a function on Wednesday.
"We had a distinct disadvantage, the West Australians, because the Victorians picked both sides," he said.
"They cheated, they picked the best players. And because there were no (stadium) lights, I couldn't pick any of the cannibals.
"I couldn't pick Nicky Winmar or Michael Mitchell or Chrissy Lewis. All the good black fellows, we couldn't pick them because they couldn't see them in the light."
These are 3 different incidents in 3 different sports. So my question, are these 3 isolated incidents, or is racism rampant in Australasian Sport?

Is Mal Brown John Key in disguise? <didn't JK make a similar quip?>
Profile pic. Should you be interested. Lakhsen, on the right, lost touch with him.
Mohammed, on the left, I'm still in touch with. He's now living in Agadez, Niger. More focused on his animals now as tourism has dried up. Is active with a co-op promoting local goods, leather work and bijouterie, into Europe.

I've just checked on Wikipedia and, yes, apparently racism does exist in sport.
