Penrith Panthers star Brian To’o is in the spotlight after posting a controversial joke on Instagram about Matildas soccer player Mary Fowler.
The post upset some fans and was seen by many as rude and disrespectful. Brian quickly deleted it and said sorry, explaining he didn’t mean to hurt anyone.
Some people are still unhappy, and there are reports that a few of his teammates were not impressed either.
The Panthers are close to the NRL finals, and this has become a big distraction for the team. Coach Ivan Cleary hasn’t said anything yet, but fans hope the team can stay focused and united.
Now, everyone is watching to see how the Panthers handle the drama — and if it affects their chances in the finals.
