Colin Kazim-Richards faces 'homophobic' gesture probe - BBC

CKR is a prick. Anyone who complains to police after giving someone abuse for 90 minutes who then dares to have a go back is a prick.

I'd love to know how many of these people so terribly offended by this terrible homophobia are actually homosexual.

I assume these delicate flowers are also
reporting thousands of opposition fans to the police each week as well?

I wonder how many of you spouting this JCL shit actually saw it? I saw it, he was doing it for a while too. Total waste of space as a footballer and shouldn't be doing it, simple.
If the crowd have a pop you let your football do the talking, not resort to to what he did.

Can't tell which side of the fence you're on. That being said, you don't have to be gay to be offended by homophobic stuff. I don't go around accepting racism because I'm not black. The players should be setting the example, what hope do we have of getting rid of homophobia in the stands if some players still think it's fine?

Homophobic wanker. Hope they throw the book at him and his type.

Why is it ok to use homophobic gestures as a bit of fun? If an England player was getting some stick at a game in Africa, would it be ok for him to do some monkey gestures to a crowd as a bit of fun?

Totally and utterly agree, why is he above anyone else for homophobic gestures?

 

[marshy68]

Can you provide a list of things not okay to do please? Or can players do what they want?

Getting grief is part of being a footballer. I would take 90 mins of abuse every week in return for 20k

Other options could be ban kids from stadiums I guess.

I agree - its a hard one (oh err) for me as I think there is a difference between abusing someones skin colour as opposed to sexuality or calling someone a sheep shagger or a dirty northern bastard - I am sure I will get shed loads for that but its my own personal moral compass. I would be interested in the opinion of gay brighton fans as to if they are/were offended by CKR or homophobic chants we get week in week out. Players should be bigger and not react to anything - however we all love it when they do.

I agree with you, but if we can stop these complete bores telling us our sexuality, I'll be happy... I only do boys on the 5th Sunday of a month.

There's a difference between calling someone fat and saying someone takes it up the arse by doing homophobic gestures. Homophobia is on a par with racism, shame some people on here still find it acceptable and banter, it isn't.

Saying "we can see you holding hands" is fine - making gestures that you take it up the arse isn't.

Call me a JCL for being in 2013 and not wanting this shit in football, I don't care.

So homophobia is ok with you? How about racism?

It's just not ok to be racist or homophobic towards the crowd, even when you think it's bloody hilarious. If you don't understand that, you need to get yourself educated.

no doubt you can confirm you witnessed and were offended by the actions of Colin Kazim-Richards on the night in question.

 

[mune ni kamome]

The guy is meant to be an ambassador for the "Kick it Out" campaign. He thinks it's ok to to make homophobic jokes?

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Ten.

Homophobia is the racism of the 21st Century. No, it wasn't the worst type of abuse, but if the authorities want to take it seriously, in an attempt to prevent the equivalent of monkey chants back in the 1980s and 1990s, they have to be seen to clamp down on it.

Don't see the problem myself - if he didn't do anything, then he wouldn't have a case to answer. That'll learn him!

im confused what jokes did he tell?

 

[sparkie]

Trust the BBC to pick it up first. Poor CKR was just trying to have a bit of fun after the youfatbastard chants.

What a homophobe, eh?

Throw the book at the lowlife.

Homophobia is on a par with racism

Why? Because its the trendy thing to do to say so now? Because you're told that it is by the trendy press? I bet you didn't say that ten years ago.

Saying "we can see you holding hands" is fine - making gestures that you take it up the arse isn't.

Completely ridiculous. First of all you say homophobia is as bad as racism, then you say that it's OK to do a little bit of light homophobic ribbing, as long as you don't take it too far. What staggering hypocrisy. Are you saying that, for example, monkey chants and throwing bananas is going too far, but a bit of lift hearted racism, say singing "We can see you throwing spears", would be fine?

Try thinking for yourself instead of repeating things you've read in the Guardian.

 

[16bha]

How do we know his gesture was intended to be homophobic?

Maybe in pointing to his arse he was indicating some BHA fans are lower than shit..............given the bed wetting on here about this issue I think CKR has a point.

Well done Colin.

Maybe showing thee BBC where they need to 'probe'?
