I would say over the last 30 years or so every sports club has had someone who’s done it said something which is deemed racist today,they just haven’t had someone who’s raised it.

Very probably. It could open up a whole Hornet's nest of trouble. 

 

Personally, I believe if a person's comments are not intended to give offence or be malicious (eg a joke) but the recipient finds it offensive, they should point it out there and then.

But that should be the end of it.

Yes I agree, however I feel that the current tirade of back dated racism is solicitor instigated and led.

A lot of people have lost their jobs , The complainant has also used racist language when he was 19 , A few years ago ..

Darren Gough returns to the fold as M.D.

No doubt some will be scrutinising his past speeches and comments for anything suspect when what is more important is the intention going forward.

I agree. The lawyers/solicitors must be rubbing their hands in glee.
