The AFL is still one of the only codes in the world that hasn't had a current player come out. During this and the last season, six players have been suspended for using homophobic slurs. Which is all wild because the AFLW has dozens of queer women playing in it currently and previously.
At least they're suspending them for it, I guess.
Yeah but it does kinda ring hollow...
It's actually impressive sometimes how the AFL manages to make the NRL look almost like a bastion of woke. And that is not an easy thing to do.
