In relation to the Newcastle Jets’ Ninja A-League Women game on Friday night, versus Western United at Ironbark Fields, the Jets confirm that a complaint has been lodged to Football Australia in relation to an alleged offensive slur being made by a member of the public directed at a Jets’ player during the match.
The Newcastle Jets are a family club, built on hard work and togetherness. We are a club that welcomes everyone, no matter your faith, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or gender. Our diversity is our strength and inclusivity is sacrosanct. Everyone has a place in our Club and in Football, and any fan or player jeopardising that sense of belonging is not welcome. Any form of abuse and discrimination is not part of the game and is something this Club will not tolerate.
The Newcastle Jets will not make any further comment at this time.
