Men joking about beating female content creators to a chorus of laughs. This is beyond abhorrent.
And we wonder why women don’t feel safe in sporting spaces.
For the third straight year, fans are being locked out of the AFLW Grand Final because the venue is too small. Do better, AFL. This isn’t growth — it’s stagnation.
I fear not enough focus has been on why these bans exist, which is the acute impact homophobia still has in our game and within our community.
These bans pale in comparison to widespread impact of queerphobia in sport.

And you have no right to weigh into whether the word is offensive or upsetting or whatever else unless you are from the minority. If you think the games “gone soft” go find another game, everyone has the right to feel welcome, safe & respected.
@abcsport We came of a five-day break, after a midday game in 30 degree heat. I’m not suprised that we were fatigued in the last half, but still very disappointed in the bad ball use.
