Sorry that one of our boys was subject to this but punishment served.

Ipswich Town: Club ban supporter for posting a racist outburst on Twitter - News - Ipswich Star

Only till end of season? I guess as it happened away from a ground etc, but if I had of known, there are a few times during the Withdean years I'd quite happily of been banned for the rest of a season!

Casual racism is possibly more inherently insidious than a truly held belief and much harder to deal with. Sorry for BM but pleased that Ipswich have responded speedily and appropriately. Think they deserve a "well done"

 

[The Large One]

Surely being banned from Portman Road is a reward...?

 

[TheMajor]

More time for him to work on his next banner

 

[Sheebo]

I thought that fella was Chinese?

 

[Gazwag]

Hmm, interesting that they have named him as he is 17, are they actually allow to do that

It's not a court of law. And his name was already in the public arena. He put it there.

No charges, not illegal.

Agreed. Even though there is no accompanying violence and no apparent big political agenda, it's still racism. It needs to be challenged. And its perpetrators need to understand that there are consequences.

To be fair, it can't have been easy growing up with a name like Danny Crack.








I blame the parents, Harry and Fanny

Good news.

(awaits usual intellectually-challenged posters coming on to tell us it's an over-reaction, and that people need to 'man up')

 

[Freddie Goodwin.]

Man up, Crack.

 

[seagullsdaz]

Tempted to post 1 of the articals on the champ banter page on facebook as Daniel Crack posts on there!

 

[British Bulldog]

Good news.

As a moderator I would have thought you would be a bit above calling peopledimwits*, It's not just Racism and Homophobia that are offensive and illegal these days but Disability Discrimination is also and calling people "retards" ranks alongside calling people "spastics" and "window lickers" in that it's offensive and has no place in today's society.

This. That word is hugely offensive to some people. We all know what is being implied. Not good.

Using that word 'dimwit*' in such a derogatory fashion, undermines all the Albion and other club's are trying to do to stamp out discrimination of any kind.

 

[mune ni kamome]

A finer example of casual discrimination you could not find. "Usual dimwits*"

Just saying thanks to everyone who got in contact via phone/text/twitter/facebook to be very supportive.
Don’t know why it got to me so much, most unlike me, a draining couple of days, but glad it's resolved now.

Had fans from lots of different clubs (including Ipswich, Palace, Leeds and Norwich) getting in touch, which was pretty humbling to see. Good to see everyone else unite against something like that. No place for it in life, let alone football.

Thanks to Ipswich Town & police for responding and dealing it with so quickly, honestly didn’t think it would be dealt with so seriously, let alone so fast.

After a meeting with the police yesterday, I decided not to press charges against the kid, but police have asked him to write a letter of apology to me. Other Ipswich fans reported him to the police too, it's up to them what they do. Hope he has learned a lesson, and hopefully the whole sorry episode will make others think before saying / typing something of that nature. Really no need for it in todays society.

Thanks again everyone x

In my opinion, Retard and even Mong now have a completly different meaning, the same way words such as Gay meaning happy then changed to being..... well..... er ...Gay, If I called someone a retard I would not mean it as offence to anyone with a disability rather just a word to mock someone who was being a bit of a thick sh**
