PORT Adelaide has cautioned one of its major sponsors for an anti-gay comment made about Adelaide supporters on social media.

Greg Evangelou, owner of White Marquee Event Hire and Budget Party Hire, posted an insult on Facebook after the Crow’s 23-point win against the Power in June’s showdown.

“To all my fellow 19th f*****s. Enjoy today like you’ve won a grand final ... because that’s about as good as its going to get for yas for a very long time,” he posted.

Port Adelaide chief operating officer Keith Thomas released a statement after being alerted by The Advertiser of the issue.

“That is most definitely not the type of language or reference we want from people connected with our club at any level,” he said.

“We’ve spoken to Greg and he was extremely contrite and completely understands that he has overstepped the mark on this occasion.”

Evangelou, a director of the upcoming Asia Fest, was profiled on Port’s website in February giving AFL Fantasy League tips.

White Marquee Event Hire will continue as a Premier partner of the Power.
