UPDATE: Kite playmaker Corey Norman and former panther James Segeyaro have alleged racial abuse led to a Friday night brawl that is currently under investigation by NRL.
Channel 7 aired footage of a group of men pushing each other down a Cronulla street before throwing punches in a wild street fight, but the footage is unclear what exactly Norman and Segeyaro did.
The couple, who run the fashion label YKTR (You Know The Rules) together, posted a statement on their Instagram account that Segeyaro was subjected to horrific racist ridicule.
« Chicko (Segeyaro) and Corey were involved in an altercation in Cronulla on Friday evening, » the statement said.
“The two boys were walking home after dinner with two women when they were approached by a group of four men. One of them started racially abusing Chicko, calling him the N word. An argument ensued, and Corey came in to defuse the situation.
« He was then blind and a fight broke out. It was almost broken when one of them threatened to pull a knife.
“As an individual and as a brand, we will always fight back against racism. Sometimes it’s so easy to re-share a post or make a video. Sometimes it means defending yourself.
« Although we will not condone violence when there is time to fight, then let it be against racism, protect female society and have your girlfriend’s back.
« Corey informed his club the next morning and we contacted the RLPA about the incident. »
Before: The NRL is investigating a fight in Cronulla on Friday night allegedly involving one of the league’s star players and a former player.
Channel Seven broadcast footage of a group of men pushing each other before throwing punches in a wild street fight.
While the brawl was taking place in Cronulla, the player involved in the fight is not believed to be from the Sharks.
The Dragons also released a statement that they are working with Norman to establish the facts on the matter, while the NRL confirmed they are investigating.
