Why is he still been tolerated in football circles,after last night’s documentary on Anton Ferdinand , Anton letdown by everybody the fa, pfa, the courts.
Football has no morals, clubs will overlook any shortcoming in a person’s character if they’re good enough or important enough. Just look at how little mention there has been of Maradona’s behaviour with women & his own children in the last week….
Look at all the sexual abuse that was known about and tolerated by clubs for all those years on those poor young players and their trusting families. Football is a shit show which reflects our racist, sexist society and it’s gonna take a long long time to put right.
John Terry was England captain at the time and was deemed as a player we couldn’t lose. No doubt he should have been severely disciplined but obviously wasn’t.
I’d be careful with the whole “racist society”. Look, there are a small percentage of ignorant imbeciles who unfortunately have our skin colour but let’s not forget, they are just that, a small percentage.
Every race in the world have their undesirables..it’s an imperfect world we live in. The other race groups undesirables behaviour may not go down the racist route but it will manifest it’s self in other ways.
I don’t really buy into this whole “racist society” angle the news seems to favour. I refuse to let a small percentage of ignorant “wrong uns” tar the vast majority.
‘I don’t really buy into this whole “racist society” angle the news seems to favour.’
It’s not just the news though is it. It’s black footballers and black workers in many sectors that are justifiably calling out systemic racism. It’s much more than a few bad apples.
