Nope. Someone committing a crime in a country thousands of miles away has absolutely nothing to do with me. And I can also not be part of any ‘solution’ I’m afraid. Although I admit I am strangely fascinated to hear how you plan to be.
Exactly this. Just look at how FIFA deal with racism in stadiums compared to how the FA do.
I’m afraid you’re wasting your breath with old Mr Irish though. I’m not sure he’s listened to anyone or changed his mind on anything since before he started posting on here pre-2003 (see my rather...
He's a Labour leader that is going to win an election.
As much as the proper Left in this country don't like it, a Starmer / Blair type figure is the only feasible way for Labour to get in power.
I guess with number 1. it can work both ways. Some people may be more inclined towards racism if they are seeing the object of their prejudices every day, I get that. But I think that these people are far less likely to message a black footballer on social media with the kind of messages that...
1. I think that in somewhere like the UK with a hugely diverse, multi-cultural population, it makes sense that there is less racism towards black people than other places without that demographic of population, as people here live and work with people of all races, colours and creeds here...
Tony's old foe cashing in?
Don't get any ideas please, Mr Bloom.

No, of course it isn't. But it's the one thing that people love to call out the most, to show the world how un-racist they are.
For some reason they don't need to do it anywhere near as much for murder, sadism, genocide or paedophilia.
Interesting that nobody has denied that racism is human...
By 'our fanbase' I'm talking about people in this country, and to be honest probably 95% in Sussex and the surrounding area, who go to games. If someone in the Middle East or somewhere who has picked Brighton as their team decides to hand out some racist abuse to a Sheffield Utd player, then I'm...
Bullshit do we. He deliberately tried to injure one of our players. I don't see how him getting racist abuse from overseas has anything to do with us. Had it come from our actual fanbase, then that would be a different story, but it didn't.
He won't be getting any 'support' from me, whatever...
'Humans' are notoriously racist" would be.
It would also be true.
I think what @NorthstandRacoon was trying to say, was that there are large parts of Asia that are nowhere near as multi-cultural as the UK, and where racism towards black people is more prevalent than it is here. I would find it...
I’m resigned to it happening, but I think him leaving will be a much bigger blow than Potter. Under Potter I felt we could compete for the top 10 every season, which felt great. But under RDZ it really feels like we could actually win something, and if it doesn’t happen when he is here then it...
