Cats coach escapes media wrath

We’re breathlessly awaiting the banner headlines that Cats coach Chris Scott is a racist. He must be, because The Age reports today that he thinks the new interchange cap will favour endurance athletes.

 

The last time this completely outrageous suggestion was made, its proponents were quickly labelled racist.

 

Those proponents, Paul Roos and James Hird, dared to voice the additional assessment that Aboriginal footballers generally might not have the endurance capacity of their non-Aboriginal counterparts.

 

It can’t be long before the headline appears . . .  We’re waiting . . . .
