Good to see the AFLW embrace Pride Round this week.
I’ve always felt the Fremantle Football Club let itself down by not joining the AFL and half the AFL clubs in supporting the ‘Yes’ campaign during the 2017 marriage equality vote. I understand the intention of keeping the club apolitical, but when you know you have players in same sex relationships on your list, know how hard the lead up to the vote was on same sex couples, and are supposed to be representing one of the more inclusive communities in Australia, I thought it was a bit gutless.
I thought it was again telling Freo were one of the few clubs not to recognise Pride Week on their guernsey / socks on the weekend.
I quite enjoyed
this article. I must admit, I never thought about the effect inter-club and intra-club relationships and breakups would have on a team.
