Aboriginal activist and ex-player: "Racism rife in NSW Country Rugby League"

The racism-in-rugby furore leading to Timana Tahu handing back his Blues' jersey is not an isolated incident, says Michael Anderson, an Aboriginal political activist and former professional League player.

The NRL says there is no racism in rugby league. Many voices, including Aboriginal ex and current players, say there is.

Ex Manly player Anderson says for racist comments to still be brushed over within the NRL is an

indictment on the league.

He says racist attitudes in sport start at home - and are rife in country areas.
