we are hitting new lows in afl media reporting that could have definitely been predicted these people have been dying to unashamedly go off on something like this
the reality that being a fan means knowing that multiple players employed by the club you support are probably having significant mental health challenges that are exacerbated by their profession and being sensitive to that is everyone’s job is really just dawning on some of you
putting a disclaimer “this is sensitive”or “player welfare needed” means actual accountability for the journalist who is reporting on it too and does not automatically absolve them from what they are about to say
