As a woman who loves AFL(澳大利亚澳式橄榄球联盟), the events of the last few days have left me wondering(让我不禁思考) if there is a home for me in this game.
作为一个热爱澳式橄榄球的女人，过去几天的事件让我不禁怀疑，这项运动是否还有我的容身之处。
It has been hard to stomach(难以接受，难以忍受) watching allegations(指控，无证据的断言) of sexual assault that may be linked to some Sydney Swans players being framed as(被描绘成，被框定为) an “unmitigated(完全的，彻底的) disaster” for the club’s finals(决赛，季后赛) chances.
看到一些悉尼天鹅队球员可能涉及的性侵指控被描述为俱乐部决赛前景的“彻头彻尾的灾难”，这让人难以接受。
Five players have now been sanctioned(受到处罚，被制裁) by the AFL for the rest of the season, independent of(独立于，不依赖于) the police investigation. But since news broke on Monday, the football commentariat(评论界，评论员群体)’s early coverage(报道，覆盖范围) of the allegations has largely been about how the incident “threatens to derail(使脱轨，破坏) Sydney’s season”.
五名球员已被澳大利亚澳式橄榄球联盟处以本赛季剩余时间禁赛的处罚，这与警方的调查无关。但自周一消息传出以来，橄榄球评论界对指控的早期报道大多集中在事件“可能使悉尼队赛季脱轨”上。
