The demand for action generated by this incident, and by the highly publicized on-field abuse of another star Aboriginal player, Michael Long, two years later, led the Australian Football League to introduce in 1995 a “Racial and Religious Vilification” code of conduct. The code combines a robust conciliation process with appropriate punitive measures and a strong educational program.
此举的意思很明确：“我是黑皮肤，我对此感到自豪。”而这一事件以及两年后对另一位著名土著运动员Michael Long在球场上所遭到的种族主义攻击的广泛报道促使澳大利亚橄榄球联盟在1995年通过了一项“种族与宗教侵犯”行为准则。这一准则还与一项包括相关惩罚措施和深刻教育项目的全面调解程序相结合。
