Cronky Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 A very strange decision, considering Mackay is still under investigation. I do think Whelan is very attention-seeking, and whether, at least subconsciously, that's clouded his judgement here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 It isn't though. And to be honest I think it's much funnier that someone did him with a dangerous tackle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Varadi Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Quote The texts sent by Mackay included references to a 'chink'. 'Nothing like a Jew that sees money slipping through his fingers,' read another. Whelan said he saw neither as offensive. "The Jews don’t like losing money. Nobody likes losing money,” Whelan told the Guardian. “Do you think Jewish people chase money a little bit more than we do? I think they are very shrewd people. I think Jewish people do chase money more than everybody else. I don’t think that’s offensive at all.” "We’re all against racism in football," Whelan continued. "If any Englishman said he has never called a Chinaman a chink he is lying. There is nothing bad about doing that. It is like calling the British Brits." http://www.football365.com/news/21554/9571671/Wignorance-Whelan-In-Anti-Semitic-Slur ffs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
