At what point do you challenge people sitting around you who are making racist comments and what would you do about it?
Since we’ve been at Optus, people near us have said disparaging things about past indigenous Freo players (with no basis for their comments) and on Sunday, they said hurtful comments about Eddie’s Aunty.
It’s aimed at getting laughs from their mates but is disgusting and disrespectful.
They got the evil eye for the first incident and dismay but no challenge from me on Sunday because I don’t know how to confront them.
Apart from the racism, they are great to sit near as they are passionate and love Freo.
At what point would you tackle them verbally if it continues and what would you say?
