Sir Enoch Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 It is alleged that Rio has condoned the use of a racist term on twitter. Should Rio now face investigation by the Football Association and moreover, have a case to answer to in the courts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davekowl Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 What amazes me is that these footballers make this kind of comment when they have just seen what trouble can be caused by such statements . Are they really thick or is it done to keep them in the headlines ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_Sleeps Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 To be controversial, I remember a councillor got in trouble once for calling someone else a 'coconut'. Calling someone a 'choc ice' is the same idea under a different name. Add: Found it. Daily Mail.co.uk - Black coconut insult councillor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarryRiley Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 I don't think he should be investigated for racism but it really shows the way he thinks. Evidently in his mind it's black vs white and any black person to side with a white person over someone of their own race is a traitor regardless of the situation. A worrying view for a role model to hold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ousetunes Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 It merely shows the intelligence, or lack of, of today's grossly over-rated, overpaid footballer. I doubt many could count to six, write their name or wipe their own bottoms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporting the view that people should automatically support others of the same race or be seen in a negative light shows more than lack of intelligence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
