Héritier Lumumba responds to Collingwood players’ open letter after Do Better report into systemic racism
Héritier Lumumba has acknowledged the sincerity of the apology penned by current Collingwood players, but has questioned the club’s motives for releasing it shortly after it a report found it was guilty of systemic racism.
Key points:
- After Collingwood players accepted their part in allowing systemic racism, Lumumba called on club management to do the same
- Lumumba said he felt the club was using the players’ letter “as a tool for damage control”
- Current men’s AFL player Taylor Adams said any fan who was not ready to move forward should go elsewhere
An open letter from 150 current footballers and netballers at the club was released by Collingwood on Thursday in response to the findings of the Do Better report that was leaked on Monday.
