Eddie McGuire tried to smoke an exploding cigar. Why is he surprised at what happened?

The Collingwood Football Club is like the man who ordered an exploding cigar and then smoked the exploding cigar only to be caught by surprise when it exploded in his face.

What did they think would happen when they commissioned Indigenous activists to investigate whether or not their AFL club was racist?

A 35-page report on racism, written by academics with a history of race activism, found evidence of “systemic” and “egregious” racism. 

Who would have thought? 

I’m not sure how a list of six racist incidents over the past 50 years, detailed in the report, amounts to systemic anything.

Unacceptable? Definitely.

Regrettable? Of course.

Evidence that Collingwood is the AFL equivalent of the Ku Klux Klan? Hardly.
