seeEddie McGuire has announced he will stand down as president of Collingwood Football Club.
McGuire's position had come under severe scrutiny after his response to an internal report into racism at the club, and an open letter had circulated in recent days calling for his head.
Fronting a press conference on Tuesday afternoon, McGuire announced he would resign from the role he had held for more than 22 years.
"I try my best and I don't always get it right, but I don't stop trying," he said.
"Today, effective immediately, I step down from the presidency of the Collingwood Football Club.
I'm disappointed, Eddie, as far as I'm concerned, is a good bloke. I blame all those politically correct bastards who wouldn't know a good joke if it kicked them in the bum.

We can likely expect more TV and radio from him.

who knows what happened behind the scenes ? from the emotion in his voice i would say he was probably bullied out by some leftard higher up the AFL food chain.

I HATE COLLINGWOOD!!!
And normally I'd be cynically happy at ANY setback the club has. But in this case I reckon it's a stitchup.
An ex footballer cries racism and the whole bigoted guilt industry goes apesh!t. He seemed happy when he was "Harry" O'Brien, winning, and in the team as far as I am aware.
The fact that there's a highway to hell and a stairway to heaven says a lot about the anticipated traffic flow.
Bloody hell, if Hitler was running the country we wouldn't have any of these allegations of racism.

I'm no huge fan of Collingwood or Eddie, for that fact, but, this is a stitch up. The "offending" statements that I have seen were taken totally out of context. I've known plenty of blackfellas to make similar comments in jest, too. Heck, on good friend of ours (of Thursday Island heritage) even berated my wife for not setting the table in a "propper whitefella way"! What's that, you might ask, "We put a tablecloth on the table before setting it!"
I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message...
When someone claims to be 'offended by what you say' what they are really saying is, - "I cant control my emotions properly, so I want everyone to alter what they say or do so I don't have to see or hear anything I disagree with!"

just a glass full of cement will do , you turd brained wanker lol
I was offended by the "nationality" question on the "sh*t" sample packaging that we send back to the Govt. Can' recall the exact wording now, but it was along the lines of "If you ain't blackfella, then you are a new Australian."
I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message...
If it was anyone else, I might have felt some sympathy.
