AFL issues apology for 'disgraceful racism and disrespect' suffered by ex-player

Robert Muir recalled being abused by opponents, spat at by the crowd and even urinated on by team-mates.

24 Aug 2020

AUSTRALIAN RULES FOOTBALL chiefs have apologised to former St Kilda player Robert Muir for the “disgraceful racism and disrespect” he suffered during his career in the 1970s and 1980s, which left him a broken man.

The belated apology follows Muir, now 66, opening up in an interview on Sunday with public broadcaster ABC, recalling how he was abused by opponents, spat at by the crowd and even urinated on by team-mates.
