Ejected Eagles fan denies “get back to the zoo” comment was racist.

A West Coast fan ejected from the ground on Sunday’s Sydney Swans clash allegedly told Adam Goodes to “get back to the zoo,” but denies the comment was racist.

The unnamed fan told The West Australian the comment was only “off-the-cuff banter” labeling the controversy surrounding fan treatment of the dual Brownlow medalist as “political correctness gone mad.”

Police have confirmed they are not considering criminal charges against the fan but Eagles officials are investigating the incident.
