Sport, sponsors, activism and politics

Gilbert McAdam has backed up Winmar's version many times - and he's part of the media pack. 

It took a couple of days before it was widely appreciated that Winmar and McAdam were having a crack at racist supporters.  The Age picked it up and had an editorial on racism at the footy.  That was followed by Allan McAlister's cringeworthy comment that Collingwood did not have an issue with Indigenous Australians, "... as long as they conduct themselves like white people, well, off the field, everyone will admire and respect them."

If I recall correctly that abhorrent comment marked the deathnell of McAlister's tenure as president of Rottingwood. Not too long after that Eddie took the reins.

And, yes, I also recall Gilbert Mac making those comments re Nicky W... as well as others. I really didn't believe to this day that there was any other credible statement re what was Nicky W was emphasizing to the toothless brigade over the fence when pointing to his skin.
