Map: Penrith 2750 Collingwood AFL Club President Eddie McGuire has been branded irresponsible for calling western Sydney, the "land of the falafel".
McGuire made the comment on his breakfast radio show in a taunt to Greater Western Sydney Giants Coach, Kevin Sheedy, over player poaching.
The Executive Director of the Forum on Islamic Relations, Kuranda Seyit, says McGuire should reflect on his behaviour.
"He's a mature man, a leader of a sporting club and a TV personality," he said.
"He has a lot more weight and what he says influences a lot of people and I think that for him to flippantly throw around such a comment is actually quite irresponsible."
