The Melbourne Football Club strongly condemns racial vilification of any kind.

Last night a Melbourne player was again subjected to racism on social media. This sort of behaviour is abhorrent and needs to stop.

It is saddening, angering and unacceptable that this behaviour continues to occur.

It is important that we, as a football community, call this behaviour out and hold these individuals to account. It is simply not okay to remain silent.

The club will work with the AFL Integrity department to see if the account holder responsible for the comments can be identified.
