Lumumbas case is directly linked to the shameful Adam Goodes saga: the racism he experienced, after all, intensified once he took McGuire to task on national television over his misguided comments on the Sydney Swans champion, who was hounded into retirement by relentless booing from crowds.
Heritier Lumumbas allegations of a racist culture at Collingwood should come as no surprise after decades of casual and structural racism within Australian sport.Credit:Pat Scala
