Hawthorn Football Club CEO Stuart Fox has made the following comments regarding a supporter being removed from Aurora Stadium for racially abusing Majak Daw:

"Hawthorn FC is investigating if a man escorted from Aurora Stadium tonight for racially abusing Majak Daw is a Club member.

"We would remind all members, supporters and footy fans that Hawthorn Football Club has a zero tolerance approach towards anyone who racially vilifies a player, official or patron.

"Racial vilification at the football in any form is offensive and totally unacceptable - not just to the target of the vilification, but also to all players and supporters."
