Sydney Swans player Riak Andrew has been suspended after using a ‘highly offensive’ homophobic slur during a VFL match, the AFL announced. The comment, directed at a North Melbourne opponent, was reported to an umpire and investigated. Andrew will be suspended from playing matches for five weeks at both the AFL and VFL level. As well as the suspension, Andrew will undertake Pride in Sport education. Andrew’s suspension comes just days after West Coast Eagles player Jack Graham was similarly suspended for also using a “highly offensive” homophobic slur during a recent match against a Greater Western Sydney Giants player. #AFL #SydneySwans #RiakAndrew #LGBTQIA #SportsNews #Inclusion
