Australian football great Craig Foster has issued a lengthy apology to Sam Kerr in the wake of the racism allegations that have been levelled at the Matildas captain by a UK police officer. Kerr has yet to comment publicly after pleading not guilty in a London court to racially aggravated harassment of a police officer.
“Judging from the coverage, comments, and conversations we’re all having, every day, there were major gaps in knowledge about how to deal with situations where the descriptor ‘white’ is used in a derogatory way. If you have been open enough to read, listen, research and change your understanding, I thank you,” he said.
