In shocking news, the AFL has decided the slur uttered by Izak Rankine was worthy of a 4 match suspension.
By extension, this also lets the performer off the hook in the eyes of the AFL and leaves him open to play at the Grand Final.
We spoke to a source close to the AFL who told The Times,
“It was a nervous wait for the rapper who found himself dragged into the Izak Rankine scandal but the AFL has ruled the penalty is 4 matches, clearing the Doggfather by proxy to perform”
Some within the community consider the ban to be excessive while others take a contrary view. However, the AFL told The Times,
“People were trying to make us look like fools with some kind of double standard but who is the fool now! Jack Graham got 4 weeks for self reporting so we reckon that’s close enough. Don’t mention that feller who got 5 weeks though”
The AFL has made it clear that while the rapper is permitted to perform musically he will not be able to play for the Crows on the big day. As reported by this masthead.
