The Sydney Swans are incredibly disappointed by inappropriate comments made tonight by Eddie McGuire.
The comments show not only a lack of empathy, but also ignorance.
Cynthia Banham is a passionate Sydney Swans member, our number one ticket holder, and a courageous woman who is an inspiration to all of us at the club.
She was one of the key figures behind our Diversity Action Plan.
Regardless of who is invited to toss the coin, they are doing so by invitation and as a recognition of their love of the sport or a club.
It is a tradition that should be celebrated.
We are extremely proud that Cynthia was there to toss the coin for our first home game at the SCG this season.
