What Eddie McGuire should have said the first time about his club’s racism – Sydney Morning Herald
A company director and former ABC deputy chair imagines what the Collingwood chief might have said to address racism at his club.
Whether you call it a rushed behind or an own goal, Collingwood Football Club has offered us a spectacular example of one this week. Were not a racist club, Collingwood chief Eddie McGuire said in response to a damning report that exposed structural racism at the club. Indeed, it was a proud day for Collingwood, he said. No, it was a 1980s masterclass in reactive, defensive spin.
