An Aussie Rules side has become embroiled in controversy after it was revealed players are dressing up as members of the Ku Klux Klan and raiding each others houses as a prank.
Just as the AFL recovers from North Melbourne's 'chickengate' affair, where two players were fined $5000 each over a chicken sex video scandal, a Freemantle official has revealed the latest controversy on a Perth radio station.
Player development manager Steve Malaxos was originally asked about a prank that involved a player altering the club's training schedule to include a 3km time trial, when he went onto say players were also dressing in KKK like gear and raiding each others houses.
The Ku Klux Klan is a white supremacist organisation which has a record of violence towards African Americans, Jews and other minorities.
The controversy is the last thing Fremantle needed after losing their opening four matches this season, which has heaped pressure on coach Mark Harvey.
Kangaroos pair Daniel Pratt and Adam Simpson were fined $AU5000 each over the chicken sex video scandal that made its way onto YouTube earlier this month.
