Following the match, Parker was targeted by a social media user, which prompted the forward to call out the abuse on Instagram.<\/p>\n
"Honestly, why and when will it stop?" Parker wrote on an Instagram story.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In another Instagram post regarding the same matter, the 25-year-old said, "I'll always be a proud Indigenous man. Racism needs to stop."<\/p>\n
In screenshots shared by Parker, it appeared the social media user involved reached out to the Richmond player to "apologise" for what he posted online.<\/p>\n
Parker's incident comes just a day after St Kilda midfielder Bradley Hill was targeted on social media.<\/p>\n
Hill, an Indigenous AFL player also, took to Instagram after his partner was sent vile messages following St Kilda's loss to Port Adelaide on the weekend.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
"A loss is a loss," the Saints said in a club statement.<\/p>\n
"It does not give people the right to racially abuse or personally vilify a player, their family or anyone in the community.<\/p>\n
"Too many times this year, our players and their loved ones have been victim to this type of abuse – enough is enough.<\/p>\n
"If you engage in online abuse, you are not with us. Together we rise above and help stamp out racism."<\/p>\n
