From Barry McGuigan and Carl Frampton to Tyrone McKenna and Lewis Crocker, the city’s fighters carry a complex history into the ring, writes JOHN WIGHT
RED Card Israeli Racism has told the Australian Jewish Association (AJA) that they “should know better” after they called for their national football team to boycott Friday’s Asian Cup group match against Palestine.
The AJA demanded today that the Football Federation Australia (FFA) take immediate action and accused the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) of using football as a political tool as it attempts to “erase Israel from its history books altogether.”
RCIR told the Star that is in fact the AJA who are politicising football and told them that they will not succeed.
