Shearergol Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Fair to say then that he's a racist, or is that me being woke? Claims that he was forced to use that language when he worked in the states. That might be the case but you’d think he’d be a bit more intelligent about the language he uses. Also said that asian’s prefer to work in IT. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foluwashola Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 This purely a result of the his language today? Tbf he gave a pretty genuine sounding apology straight away. Seems extreme. Bloke's probably a wanker for other crimes, of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worked in the USA for many years where I was required to use the term 'people of colour' because that was a product of their diversity legislation, positive discrimination format, so sometimes I trip over my words and I deeply apologise.'

Big Geordie Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 He also apparently said that Girls don't like having footballs kicked at them, and implied that being gay is a life-style choice. :: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdckelly Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 the coloured vs people of colour terminology while outdated is understandable though he clearly should know fucking better he was the chairman of the FA its your job to keep up to date on this shit. Saw his comment re Asians in the IT department and its car crash stuff let alone the comments on being gay is a "lifestyle choice" or girls don't like having footballs kicked at them (who the fuck does?!)

Foluwashola Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Aye only saw the 'coloured' comment and subsequent apology. Didn't realise he'd found himself in a full on rampage against minorities. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Yeah, coloured is terminology to me that is used by someone who doesn’t want to be appear offensive, be it because they are racist, or just don’t know how otherwise to address the subject. I think the controversy largely comes from his refusal to provide a proper apology and his terms and stereotypes for others on top of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 These people in these positions are utterly clueless aren’t they? Think his gay comments are the worst of the lot. Well, another dinosaur released out to retire. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Aye only saw the 'coloured' comment and subsequent apology. Didn't realise he'd found himself in a full on rampage against minorities. I don't think there's clear evidence that he's a full-on racist/bigot (he might be), but he's definitely thick as fuck and, by using the terms, doing absolutely fuck all to eradicate the rancid ills which are still so prevalent in the game/society. Glad/relieved they booted him immediately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Well, it's certainly woken all of the racists and gammon, if FB and twitter is anything to go off - 'woke, snowflakes, lefties, BLM, and cancel culture'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgarve Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 I’m sorry but there’s no excuse for the leader of the fa one of the biggest organisations in sport in this country to make comments like this and then claim they don’t know what is acceptable to say in this country. Then to make other bigotting comments on top Just unacceptable for someone getting paid to be at the top of their organisation, which ironically is pushing so much for equality Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gay people are naturally gay, but it can't be denied that partaking in gay sex is a choice that is open to anybody that can find a willing participant.

Tiresias Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 The state of this IMO no worse than our “Howay 5-0” and associated merch bollocks after beating ManU that is still celebrated to this day I think the issue is that's more a celebration of a funny tweet that got traction more than about being top of the league, and I wonder if anyone will remember the stop the count joke for that long.
