Back in December, I posted Australian Rules Football (AFL) legend Wayne Carey’s word’s of solidarity with the Jewish community, which he expressed on his podcast.
Now it is the turn of another AFL legend – Gerard Healy – to speak out in solidarity with us:
Thanks to @AFL legend Gerard Healy for expressing his solidarity with the Jewish community on @SENSportsday. At a time when so many are silent or even against us, this mensch's words are truly appreciated. pic.twitter.com/Qe6B82Etu4

Gerard Healy spent his career showing us what leadership looks like on the field, and clearly, those instincts haven’t faded. When a community feels isolated, voices like his act as a much-needed bridge.
It’s a reminder that while the haters are busy shouting, there are good people – true legends – who still know the difference between right and wrong.
Let’s hope more figures in the sporting world find the same courage to speak the truth.
