  "account": "The Adelaide Crows have denounced the despicable and degrading online harassment directed at their captain, Jordan Dawson. The club announced that this incident would be reported to the South Australian Police. Prior to a recent semi-final loss to Brisbane, Dawson faced a social media message containing a self-harm reference. Additionally, another player on the team, Callum Ah Chee, was subjected to racist abuse, which the Crows intend to bring to the attention of the league. Crows CEO Tim Silvers emphasized in a statement that the club would offer Dawson and Ah Chee the necessary support, as is customary when club members face online attacks and abuse. Silvers further stated that the Crows would report these latest incidents to both SA Police and the AFL's integrity unit. The club acknowledged that such reprehensible behavior is increasingly prevalent. Dawson shared a photograph of the message he received on his Instagram account. During the recent All-Australian awards, Dawson, who was named vice-captain, addressed mental health in his speech, a topic that is particularly significant to him following his brother's death earlier this year. The mental health sector commended Dawson for his heartfelt speech, in which he reassured those struggling with their mental health that they are loved and supported. Silvers called for an end to such abuse in society, deeming it unacceptable.",
