SYDNEY : The coach of the South Sydney Rabbitohs has called for life bans for fans who racially abuse players in Australia's National Rugby League after the club said star player Latrell Mitchell was the subject of vilification on Thursday.
The incident comes five years after another Indigenous rugby league great, Greg Inglis, was racially abused by fans while playing for the Rabbitohs at the same Penrith Stadium. "I shouldn't have to be able to come here as a coach and lead a team for players to be abused. We have to stamp it out completely. NRL clubs have to get rid of it and give life bans."
The Rabbitohs, whose spiritual home of Redfern is in the part of the city most closely identified with Sydney's Indigenous community, fielded several players with Aboriginal and Torres Strait islander heritage in Friday's match.
