Community members have expressed their anger and disappointment that a mother who racially abused a 17-year-old umpire to the point he nearly quit forever was only banned from the footy for six week.

Albury teenager Sanjaya Koirala was tormented by the mother in the crowd during an under-16s football match at Bunton Park in North Albury on June 16, being called 'black umpire' repeatedly along with animal names.

The ABC has reported that the AFL North East Border Umpires Association confirmed that the perpetrator had received a six week ban from attending football matches and that she also refused to apologise.

The incident and subsequent slap on the wrist almost forced Koirala to give up the game that he loves.
