Sydney Swans scandal comments at awards night 'clearly insensitive', Whyalla Football League says
In short:
At a recent awards night for the Whyalla Football League, the master of ceremonies made light-hearted reference to the scandal currently engulfing the Sydney Swans.
The MC suggested that a local club "manufacture a good old-fashioned scandal just to get that team going", suggesting the same had worked for the Swans.
The league described the comments as "insensitive" and "unacceptable", but said that, "in his defence", the man was attempting "to show how certain events can galvanise a team's resolve".
