abc.net.au/news/charlie-cameron-chris-fagan-brisbane-lions-online-racism/102219676Brisbane Lions coach Chris Fagan has expressed his frustration at racist remarks made to star Indigenous forward Charlie Cameron last weekend, but fears the perpetrator will be impossible to find or punish.
"The trouble is it is hard to find them because they do these things and they disappear off the off social media and they can never be traced," he said. "I don't know whether the league can fine anyone if they are not members of clubs or anything like that, they don't have that jurisdiction I don't think.""I don't know whether they understand all the hurt that it causes," he said."I'd like to think that we'll be able to get rid of it completely, but unfortunately, I don't think that's going to be the case.
