Collingwood president Jeff Browne has publicly supported club CEO Craig Kelly amidst the ongoing racism allegations. This controversy involves accusations that Kelly made inappropriate remarks, such as joking about placing a live possum in a special room for Indigenous players and derogatory comments about an Aboriginal elder. Browne emphasized the seriousness of these claims and the club’s commitment to addressing them thoroughly (SEN.com.au) (afl.com.au).
Browne’s backing comes as Collingwood navigates the fallout from these allegations, stressing the importance of transparency and accountability within the club. Kelly, who took over as CEO earlier this year, is under significant scrutiny as the club investigates these serious allegations (afl.com.au).
