Yes, it doesn't help when the responsible bodies make such farcical judgements like here: https://www.skysports.com/foot The bantz defence FFS. |  |

I saw the headline in passing but only now have I read the comment. F**k me sideways, how on earth have they come to the conclusion they have. |  |

Looking at the reporting on it, and the times of the articles, it appears that the FA released the news/story late last evening. It's almost as if they wanted to try and sneak it past the press by releasing it after business hours. |  |

Institutions sticking their collective heads in the sand. The FA have come a long way in some ways in recent years but such a long way to go still. |  |

I'm the same as you here. I read the headline and assumed that it was going to be a case of him having used outdated language, and claiming that he didn't realise it wasn't acceptable any more. But once you read the examples, how the hell can he claim that he didn't know he was being racist!? |  |

I mean, that's so openly and obviously racist even Conservative ministers would think twice before saying them. They'd say them, but they'd think first. |  |

Conservative minister and thinking are not normally two things that go hand in hand badge. |  |

I put that bit in for the benefit of the board softcocks who don't like you say Horrible Things About People. They're generally alright with the open bigotry of the average Tory minister and don't see it as Saying Horrible Things About People so I figured that they wouldn't mind that bit. |  |

It’s as if the FA set out to score the biggest own goal imaginable and they smashed it right in the top corner. Quite astonishing. |  |
