Racist Scandal in Australian Football Club

See something wrong with this image?

No, it's not being used to promote a KKK rally or aryan celebration.

This advertisement was (carelessly) used to promote Australian football club the Torquay Tigers' social event scheduled for tomorrow.

The club's manager, John McMahon, said that the image was put up by a retired volunteer who had no knowledge of the club. McMahon said that the member will receive counseling.

"One person's mistake is not a reflection of our club," said McMahon.

The image was being used to promote the all-white dress code being used at the social event. 

Shortly after the image was posted, the three KKK members were replaced by Disney's Snow White.
