fiveleaves - // So somebody uses the term "coloured person" and on cue the politically correct/woke brigade start jumping up and down yelling racist. //
No, not 'someone' - the chairman of the FA, long renowned as one of the most racist organisations on the planet, finally addressing its issues and slowly dragging itself kicking and screaming into the twenty-first century.
An organisation that makes regular chest-eating statements about how many millions is is spending to combact racism, and then the head of the organisation uses a racist expression.
Not 'somebody' - the chairman of the FA.
// Please get a grip. There are plenty of genuine racists around. //
There are, and plenty of them have found a comfortable berth in the culture of football, and the FA is the chief organsation, and its chief should be leading my example.
// The worry for me is that people will eventually tire of this politically correct garbage and vote into power a real nasty far right party. //
Not much chance of that - racism is nasty, but it has always been, and will always be, a minority view in this country.
