Super Mario - turkeydinner - 04-12-2014
This time I feel sorry for MB pretty sure he was trying to say something anti-racist and anti-bigoted but its a case these days of you cant say anything without it being misconstrued
The FA will probably hand out a fine and a ban trying to look like they are `with it` when it comes to racism etc
It has become that bad that i`m waiting for the Marx Brothers and Monty Python`s Life of Brian to be banned for Anti-semitism
Racial, religious, cultural, sexual sterotypes do exist in every country just as all Englishmen carry brolly`s and wear Bowler hats
Now if someone said my Father was a hamster and my mother smelled of Elderberry`s well different matterIts sad that things like this come into Football, its best that all footballers dont talk (or tweet)

100% with you on this one Turkey!!! This case and the one involving Dave Whelan are classic examples of the media stirring up a nothing story to get sensational headlines!! Sooner or later we have to get back to some common sense when it comes to these matters but I do fear we have already gone too far down the path to rectify a lot of this crap!! I am still fuming that when my daughter was young she was told off for using the term blackboard in the classroom, yet the whiteboard was still ok!!! Its a board that is black in color, therefore a blackboard, it has no racial connotation whatsoever!!!! I drive a black car, not sure what I should call that??

Oh the whole lot is insane I really wonder how far like 1984 they want to push it
Anti-semitism in Football? Have we really had a case of a Jewish player being singled out for special treatment and verbally berated because he denies the divinity of Jesus Christ? No of course not
Nothing against the Jewish peoples in fact I reckon they are shaking their heads the same

Have there been any Jewish players in the prem?? Obviously the guy who played for Liverpool in the 80s was an Israeli and I assume Jewish, but its not a religion that has any football relevance as far as I know!! As in most of these cases it tends to be someone else being offended on behalf of a race or religious group rather than the "offended" party themselves!!!

Im guessing Tel Ben Haim, Eyal Berkovic, Ronny Rosenthal and Avrum Grant there may be a lot more British based
I`m waiting for the FA to punish players now for Anti-Zorastrian, Jain, Shinto, Amish, Church of Satan comments! Surely the FA must be looking at Anti-Cultural remarks also " John Terry has been banned for eight games for calling Arsenal`s Aaron Ramsey a `Punk`" ,ha ha where will it end?
