A terrible scandal has been uncovered at the antipodes. Gillon McLachlan, CEO of Australian football league (AFL), reported at the press conference “serious allegations” for mistreatment of aboriginal players in the country.
“We need to conduct a proper investigation to get to the bottom of the matter,” McLachlan explained, pointing to the club. Hawthorn of Melbourne city of isolating players from their families and putting pressure on them to have their partners abort.
This has led to ongoing stress, trauma and suicidal thoughts due to the “Pain, anger and pain” that coach Alastair Clarkson produced to his players.
“Clarkson leaned over me and she demanded that I get rid of my unborn child and my partner. Then she manipulated me and convinced me to remove the SIM card from my phone, so that there was no more contact between me and my family. They told me that from that night on I would be living with one of the other coaches, “said one of the players on Australian public television ‘ABC’.
Justin Reeves, the team’s executive director, condemned the events: “We are deeply disappointed that some of our former players and their families feel this way about their experiences at the club.”
“Reports of racism, harm and discrimination suffered by indigenous players and their families at Hawthorn FC are heartbreaking. My thoughts today are with the players and their families who would have suffered horrible treatment. “
