He just wanted to get dressed, but he chose the wrong outfit. Now Leigh Haussen has been banned from the AFL.
The theme of the party was “Characters of the 2000s”, but it is clear that Leigh Haussen made a mistake in her wardrobe when choosing an outfit. Because the referee at the end of season party in Melbourne was wearing a mask with the terrorist’s face on it Osama bin Laden He was banned from the Australian Football League (AFL).
Football’s version of the league, which is popular Down Under, described the outfits as “inappropriate, offensive and in poor taste” in a statement. Haussen immediately apologized for his “misjudgment” and said he “didn’t mean to offend anyone”.
Umpire boss Stephen McBurney said Haussen “understands” his behavior: “Leigh is a valued member of the umpiring body with an unparalleled track record throughout his career and since joining the AFL roster in 2017 .
The proposal will probably please Haussen as much as the length of the suspension: the referee was only taken out of action for the first round of games next season.
However, he is in bad company in the AFL: a few weeks ago, six players from the Greater Western Sydney team were suspended and seven others were fined. At a similar event, they wore offensive clothes and, among other things, handled a sex doll and reenacted the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.
