1) I’m grateful to all the people who have reached out to me in support - including CFC members and supporters - as well as all those who have challenged the Collingwood Football Club’s bizarre response to their own report finding them guilty of systemic racism.
2) It was painful to watch the club dig itself deeper into delusion and dishonesty at today’s press conference. #CfcDoBetter
3) Eddie McGuire’s inability to let go of the illusion he’s constructed of himself does not serve the Club, the code, or the community. It’s a pity his final year looks like it will be marked by yet another self-inflicted racism scandal.
4) The report clearly states that during Eddie’s tenure as CFC president, the club’s racism resulted in “profound and enduring harm” to many individuals, families, & communities.
5) It was disturbing to see how easily Eddie and the CFC board members reduced the severity of this “profound and enduring harm” to mere ‘mishaps’ - as if they were talking about spilling tea on a couch rather than being found guilty of years of systemic racism.
6) I’ll be speaking to media tomorrow to break down the lies and deception, as well as answering questions about the report’s findings.
