Good points, the fact is that rascism is treated totally different to the 70s, everyones attitude has changed and more people now understand why folk get offended by certain comments, so still choose to use them but people are more aware of the issue, we all have mates who are of a different colour, might play the card on here but i bet most have.
What fucks me off about ferdinand is that ever that was an example of a person in a profession that does not need a union step forward professional footballer rio ferdinand or bbc pundit and footballer jason roberts, what the fuck have they been denied in building their multi million pound fortunes from the pockets of hard working mainly white folk ? I am not suggesting that they should tip their hats and say thank you if they get abuse but what would an blacks only union do ?
Be dead clear this is not about anythign other than Rio being pissed off that the FA did not take a strong enough stance about something that affected his brother he is taking a personal grievance and making it a campaign and getting other players to support it.
Unions get slagged off for protecting the basic rights of people earning the minimum wage and this clown whats to have his own union to fight his battles. How much has the rascism in the game affected his carear ? his earnings ? his livelihood ?
if he wants a union set up to protect people from minority groups to which he has an affinity he should set something up gargoyles who take drugs and cheat at sport, the pious arrogant needle using twat.
