Re: Official - Townsend
Racist?
It's obviously a stitch up and Hodgson strikes me as someone who is absolutely not a racist in any sense, in fact, he appears a very decent man. The whole thing is bizarre. I've read the last few pages, and what NO-ONE knows is WHO took 'offence'...in fact, imagine the shock and surprise if the 'whistleblower' is, in fact, white! I think this entire issue has nothing to do with black members of the squad being 'upset' at all, as I am prepared to bet that every black footballer knows when someone is taking a racist dig at them. And this story was clearly, clearly, not racist.
I personally despise racism, marched against it as a youth, have got into fights over racist behaviour and will never sit quietly if I hear a racist **** near me. Again though, I have to say that strikes me as having nothing to do with racism and everything to do with agendas.
On a side-note, the most simian-like footballers I have personally EVER seen were Peter Reid, Keown and our very own Bale when he was a younger man with chimpy ears.
