CANTERBURY Bulldogs denied that racism was common at the junior level after an incident during a Harold Matthews Cup rugby league match was sent to the Human Rights Commission. A Manly player, identified as Jamil Hopoate, the son of former NRL player John, reportedly swore at a Bulldogs player during the under-16s clash at Terry Lamb Complex, Chester Hill, on February 20. Hopoate, of Pacific Islander descent, reportedly made racist remarks about a Bulldogs player of Islander appearance. But the club said while the player, whom they did not wish to identify, was of dark complexion, he was not an Islander. Reports in the metropolitan media last week said Hopoate retaliated to a remark by the Bulldogs player but apologised to him. The apology was accepted. The complaint was lodged with NSW Rugby League who referred it to the Human Rights Commission, which settled the matter. Bulldogs recruitment officer Peter Mulholland said the club also received a letter of apology from Hopoate. “I think it’s an event that’s been dealt with and the family’s been happy with the response,” Mr Mulholland said. Mr Mulholland said junior players were educated about on-field racism just as they were about drugs and alcohol. “It won’t be tolerated in any way, shape or form,” he said. Mr Mulholland denied such incidents happened frequently. [rainbow]Link[/rainbow] |
