The AFL’s first openly bisexual male player slams Crows coach over Quaynor boos The recent behavior of Adelaide's fans towards Collingwood's Isaac Quaynor has highlighted a disturbing trend in Australian football culture: the normalization of homophobia and abusive treatment of players.
The jeers from the 50,109 strong crowd at Adelaide Oval on Thursday night were not just a harmless expression of passion; they were a manifestation of a deeper issue that needs to be addressed.
Mitch Brown, the AFL's first openly bisexual male player, has spoken out against the booing, likening it to the constant abuse directed at Sydney Swans legend Adam Goodes in his final years.
