Aussie Rules fan banned for racist social media post

"This person's membership has been suspended indefinitely and all of their membership rights have been revoked," the club said in a statement.

"The Club considers racial vilification to be abhorrent and disgusting, and racism has no place in our society." Ryder, a champion Aboriginal player, was subjected to the online abuse following his club's win over the West Coast Eagles in Perth of Friday night. Port Adelaide described the comment as"cowardly and ignorant" and said it would offer support to all its indigenous players who were subject to abuse.

Rival club the Gold Coast Suns also released a statement Saturday saying they had investigated one of their own supporters for"unacceptable comments" on social media, but said the person was not a member.
