Mal Brown - Back to the 50's

[lbyron]

Who is this moron, he might of played some good footy but all that has been throw out the window and has put footy back years.

He says that it was in jest but that's like joking that the all past and present WA players he is so proud of are drug users because of the actions.

I'm also personally embrassed as I introduced a niece of Choc Mundine to aussie rules partly on the strength of players such as Nicky Winmar and Michael Long.

Ban he from all future afl games that have Indigenous players - Oh that means he would not be able to go to any AFL matches particularly in WA.

They're cannibals - the new footy racism row sparked by Mal Brown | News.com.au

They have only mentioned it about 300 times on Sunrise this morning.

Trying to whip up some fever from comments of a has been dinosaur.

This thread doesn't deserve to be on the Swans main thread.

Mal Brown. HAving listened to him on Melb radio, he's a human headline and it would be attention seeking. Deliberately after media attention

You mean you're actually working and not reading the news on the web at this hour. The benefits of working from home. TV and pyjamas are the office attire here.

I havent got that far on the net browsing this morning (ie its RWO first, news website second) But now having read it - he only played 14 games for Richmond - I wouldn't call that brilliant or memorable footy career thats for sure.

And I bet he thinks the fuss is overdone.

TO be fair, he is a WA legend from the days not all the best players came over to Vic. Most famous for below and a fight he started at Windy Hill. He is better known as a star in WA

we aren't allowed to look at YOUTube at the office here (sadly) but to be famous for starting a fight is certainly something that all kiddies should aspire to the man is clearly not that cluey.

What a knob, guess it explains his son. Makes you wonder just how bad it was for aboriginal australians back in the day if this was the prevailing attitude.

Once a moron always a moron.

It just goes to prove, that while the up and coming generation have no time for this crap, there is still a large % of the older generation which are racist. The fact that he used to say these type of things and more at sportsnights for the past 20 years is proof that it won't go away.

And Mal Brown comes from an era where being a good thuggish footballer was considered better than a player who was fair and had the skills. Horrible period in Australian Rules in a way.
