Awkward moment footy commentator uses extremely 'politically incorrect' language to describe a white female player
Footy fans are torn over a seemingly casual comment made during an AFLW match, with some calling it the ultimate compliment and others calling for the commentator to be sacked.
The incident occured during the opening round of the AFLW with Essendon taking on Fremantle on Saturday.
The commentary team, including veteran caller Kelli Underwood and former AFLW champion Kirby Bentley, turned their conversation to Fremantle veteran Ashleigh Brazill early in the third quarter.
That was when Bentley stunned viewers by saying she thought the Fremantle star was ‘black’ the first time they met as teenagers – because she was so athletic.
Bentley has known Brazill for almost two decades and played a key role in luring her over to Aussie Rules from netball.
Bentley is a proud Indigenous woman who founded charity carnival the Kirby Bentley Cup aimed at improving inclusion and opportunity for Aboriginal girls.
Brazill claimed gold medals at the Netball World Cup and Commonwealth Games and has juggled both sports since she was drafted into the AFLW in 2017.
Underwood began the exchange by talking up the athleticism of Brazill.
‘Thirty four years of age, Ash Brazill, this is her 33rd career AFLW game and of course she was All Australian back in 2019 – and she’s still got that speed,’ she said.
That was when Bentley revealed that she had deep ties with Brazill.
‘I’ve known Braz since she was 16, she was a rookie when I was playing national netball with her,’ she said.
‘It’s insane, it’s great to see her out here still with the amount of intensity that we put our bodies under.’
Underwood then asked: ‘As a 16-year-old, did you pick it? Or has she been a sort of late bloomer and developer to both sports?
‘She was a freak athlete,’ Bentley confirmed.
‘Her vertical leap was second to none, I thought she was black.’
