Australian Former AFL Player Heritier Lumumba Shared His Experience of Racism<\/h2>\n
The Brazilian-born Australian former AFL player Heritier Lumumba shared his experience of racism during his 10-year stint at the Collingwood Football Club first time in the 2017 documentary Fair Game<\/em>.<\/p>\n
On 09 June 2020, days before the AFL restart, Lumumba released a nine-point statement on Twitter, alleging Collingwood didn’t acknowledge he had the nickname of ‘chimp’ during his playing stint and that he was ostracized for speaking out about club president Eddie McGuire’s racism over on-air comments about former AFL player Adam Goodes.<\/p>\n
\n
The Collingwood football club operated from the premise that I was wrong to speak out about McGuire\u2019s racism. \u201cYou threw the president under the bus\u201d, Nathan Buckley @cdesilva23<\/a> @davidzita1<\/a> @maxlaughton<\/a> @wenzel87<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/OSzB4UICAD<\/a><\/p>\n
