I felt sorry for Greg Clarke as this not about racism, but egg-shell treading in 2020. What a ridiculous world we live in.
John Sopel on weekend described VP of US as first woman "of colour" to be elected.
He used the word "coloured", apologised and said that he HAD worked in US and got his words wrong.
Let's all agree to use the word "ethnically diverse", put a tick in the highly scrutinised box and move on.
I remember Kenny Mower of Walsall and the bananas in 1984. So there is a perspective and vocabulary usage is a side-show in comparison to that type of major incident.

Maybe Covid carrier Margaret Ferrer could follow suit and finally do the right thing!

When we discuss football, sport in general, in fact anything, let's not talk about physical characteristics. It's utterly irrelevant, surely?

Okies.... I'm an old (ageist) f cker (anti lesbian), white (anti everything else) working class (anti lower and middle and upper (if you're buying into it)), but believe in freedom of speach (anti moderator) as long as it is within legal parameters (anti anarchist) of not inciting violence (anti boxers).
Why didn't gC (not, GC) just stick to his position, give no other comments, if that was the only issue he resigned on?
Something fishy (anti vegan) about this..
*Brackets () may include offence to minorities, but who cares? .... because none of you care about offending my stance on infringement on freedom of speach.

Unless of course it's you hurling insults at other people. Here's what you have just written on this very forum, You have the self awareness of a cheese sandwich. One of us is off. If your account is still active by the time I shut my computer tonight I'll be deleting mine. I'm not hanging around for your next assault, which will almost certainly contain plenty more swearing and disgusting personal insults. In fact, scratch that, I'm off anyway, I don't want to be anywhere near you. The most vile individual I've ever encountered on any of the mesageboards I've ever been active on. Stay safe everybody.

Who's going to sort Bambi out? Looks like he is taking a self-imposed break... it's a free country...

Who's going to sort Bambi out? Not sure anyone has to. The irony of it! When you perceive stuff has “been done to you” we all react differently. This Summer some took a break from here and then returned. Some deleted then re-registered and carried on. BG is a grown up and has decided on what suits him so good luck to him. Hope he’s ok and comes back. UTG!
