"Darkies" is the preferred term on here, apparently.

Indeed. And you've a longer memory than many on here.

It goes back to Big Sam's time here when somebody on here likened the African Nations Cup to a darkies kickabout, after several of our players had to go.

Why South African?Ā 

Segregating blacks and whites was something they were well known for most recently.

I suppose yanks in the southern states weā€™re keen on it.

But the saffers were at it in my lifetime.

Welcome back šŸ˜

I can'tĀ  get my head around how this situation could have arisen in this day and age at a professional club. Not like the odd word here or there, but systemic segregation.Ā 

How on earth did any of the players think it was acceptable to put up with it, and not come forward sooner- to the club, pfa, media I don't understand.Ā 

A players' revolt would have outed him much earlier.

Amazing that no one chinned him.

Absolutely weird.

I thought the same, howā€™s it taken this long to come out?

Footballers perhaps are institutionalised a bit. They've basically gone from school to football and have little idea about real world workplaces. They're also generally a bit dim, and probably don't want to alienate the boss if they can avoid it. Managers hand out favours all the time e.g. during recruitment so perhaps they didn't want to burn bridges?

I'll admit though, the above isn't justification. I was bullied a bit at work recently so it's become something I hate.Ā

A player there explained that they aren't elite players, they've worked hard to get to Div. 4 level on modest footballer money but know that they are one injury, one poor run, one fall out with their manager from even that level of success being wiped out. So they rolled with it.

It still seems incredible but I guess it's a "walk a mile in my shoes" case.
