Now at 22, Harris … It is a picture which has been described as showing a "great athlete at her most powerful." If they’re thinking this way and able to write it down, what are they going to do when I’m on the sideline meeting some kids – that’s what I’m going to have to think about now,” she said.
7AFL said its intention was to highlight Harris's "incredible athleticism" and that it would continue to "celebrate women's footy".my entire feed is photos of Tayla Harris as god intendedDeleting the post is giving in to trolls.

We have a long way to go in Australia. Comments range from telling players to “go back to the kitchen” to matters that couldn’t be repeated, as reported by CNN World Sport.
@taylaharriss @AFL @aflwomens @BreakfastNewsLate on Tuesday night, 7AFL tweeted an apology: "We're sorry. Harris said she was repulsed by some of the comments online, saying she was subjected to "sexual abuse on social media". And I bet Ted didn’t cop the filth #taylaharris has been subjected to. Also, you’re eliminating all the positive conversation. 10:45 AM - … "That is what I would consider sexual abuse on social media." AFLW star Tayla Harris says she has been “sexually abused” on social media and wants action taken against those who vilified her. Removing the photo sent the wrong message.Many of the comments made on the post were reprehensible & we'll work harder to ban trolls from our pages. Also, you’re eliminating all the positive conversation. Harris, 21, told a press conference on Wednesday that she expected criticism of her playing performance, but that she needed to take a stand against the degrading and sexist comments she had received.
“Some of the comments were sexual abuse, what I would consider sexual abuse on social media,” she said.She has also suggested that Victoria police get involved, and do their own investigations.Deleting the post is giving in to trolls. “The comments I saw were sexual abuse, if you can call it that, because it was repulsive and it made me uncomfortable,” Harris told RSN radio. Also, you’re removing more content around women in sport – which there’s already so little of.Another Facebook comment, criticising Harris’ kicking abilities, came from the account of a man who plays for a semi-professional Australian rules football club in Melbourne.The AFL has reportedly called for tighter controls to combat online abuse, with their integrity unit joining forces with Channel 7 to hopefully identify the perpetrators and ban them from future games.At a press conference yesterday, 21-year-old Harris said, “These people are behind screens now but no one’s saying they aren’t going to show up at the footy at the weekend”.AFL chief executive Gillion Maclachlan said public vigilance was the best guard against such offensive commentary.“She’s a star AFL player, there’s unacceptable commentary and people are holding those comments to account and I think that’s really pleasing.”“As much as it shouldn’t be the case at all, that’s the reality of it.”There was a public outcry at ‘giving in to the trolls’ and so, the picture was re uploaded not just on 7AFL, but on prominent Instagram sites across Australia, with many individuals posting it to show their solidarity.Here is just some of the support Tayla received:She also, on the radio show, slammed the comments as ‘sexual abuse.’Harris is also feeling empowered by the experience after seeing the floods of support.“I genuinely consider that they might show up at the footy. Also, you’re removing more content around women in sport - which there’s already so little of.It’s up to everyone to moderate hate.#taylaharris @MichaelCWillsonWe're sorry. She called on police and authorities to take more action to stamp out abuse of women online. Our intention was to highlight @taylaharriss incredible athleticism & we'll continue to celebrate women's footy.Almost 800 people replied to the tweet and most of them said deleting the photo instead of moderating comments on the Facebook page was letting the offensive commenters win.Tayla Harris kicks the first goal of the #AFLWPrideGame!#AFLWBuzzFeed News Reporter, AustraliaGina Rushton is a reporter for BuzzFeed News and is based in Sydney.Channel 7’s AFL Facebook page posted a photo of Harris on Monday with the caption “Photo of the year”.Here’s a pic of me at work... think about this before your derogatory comments, animals.
