Strange times, slightly disturbing times.
It’s one thing to have one’s own beliefs which across the spectrum of the AFL would be many and varied. It’s another to be chairman of the board of an organisation which puts him in a position of power to influence many and actively promote the divisive views of the church. This presents a massive of conflict of interest in a sport actively seeking to provide an inclusive environment.

Eh? so you reckon he would be at Essendon to, as you say, actively influence and promote views around abortion and sexual behavior? Views he has never disclosed publicly and should have no need to. The whole thing is ludicrous if it wasn't so serious.
How do you reckon he would have fared if he came from a muslim background, a Jewish background, a Buddhist background?? Do you think the lynch mob might have taken a very different view?. No prizes for that answer, the mob wouldn't even assemble in the first place.
Absolutely nothing in his background to suggest as an individual he goes around pushing his own personal views in these matters anyway. It's outright ugly intolerance. NAB got involved in what you might call identity politics during his tenure there when he was the CEO. I'd be more concerned, if I was hiring him, around what his conduct as head of NAB was, as exposed by the Banking Royal Commission.
