The AFL issued a “please explain” and received a letter of apology after a member of Richmond’s AFLW team played in last week’s semi-finals with offensive language on her shoulder strapping.
Ahead of Richmond’s clash with North Melbourne, Jess Hosking had written on her shoulder tape “kill bitches”.
“Hosking was extremely remorseful and deeply disappointed in her actions,” read an AFL statement provided to Wide World of Sports.
