A football coach has been sacked after posting a vile comment about fitness influencer Tammy Hembrow and her date with AFL star Bailey Smith.
The coach, whose identity has not been disclosed, made the inappropriate remark on social media, sparking outrage among fans and officials alike.
Outrage and Consequences
The offensive post quickly went viral, leading to widespread condemnation. The club acted swiftly, terminating the coach's contract within hours of the incident coming to light.
"Such behaviour is completely unacceptable," a club spokesperson said. "We have a zero-tolerance policy for disrespectful conduct, both on and off the field."
Public Backlash
Fans and fellow athletes took to social media to express their disgust, with many calling for stricter measures to prevent similar incidents in the future.
Tammy Hembrow, a well-known fitness influencer, has yet to comment on the matter. Bailey Smith, who plays for the Western Bulldogs, has also remained silent.
Broader Implications
This incident has reignited debates about respect and professionalism in sports, particularly concerning how women are portrayed and discussed in the industry.
Experts suggest that clubs need to implement more rigorous training programs to educate staff and players on appropriate behaviour, both online and offline.
