No it doesn't. You see the absurdity to it all but don't like it as it doesn't fit in with your views

You can still say MOBO’s mate.

Barnes and Micha Richards now getting pelters for supporting "racists"

I doubt

He’s a fourth official in a champions league game, he should know the name and who is the assistant manager of one of the teams so he doesn’t have to refer to him by his colour.

He’s ignorant at best and has a case to answer.

He does and I'm all for the fact if a black man got angry at the incident that it should be looked into properly as he directly took offence to it.

But generally turn the tables , I doubt the team's would have walked off if he had said that white man. That's the difference

Agree completly

what channel is that?

Just reading up on that 4th official situation in the PSG match

Fair play to the players walking off to be honest. Regardless of what happens to the official, players coming together to back one another up like that is a good thing

White people don’t really have the same history of racial issues though do we...

Watching clips of it

Interesting that a lot of the talk was in English

Just kind of makes me more embarassed that I can't speak another language to be honest when I see a video with people from different countries all speaking my mother tongue with ease. I can just about speak enough French to order a cheese sandwich and ask where the train station is, and even then I imagine my pronounciation is off

CBS - so US broadcasting from UK

That means absolutely nothing though. Doesn't matter what happened in the past, it's the here and now that counts.

Last night a football coach took major offence at a comment made about him. That's it, doesn't matter history of racism. That's the issue , and he is entitled to be angry if he feels that way.

Well it does matter. Your post screams “why is he complaining, white people wouldn’t complain”. Which is the whole issue in the first place.

I think a second language should be compulsory in schools from a young age, say the start of primary school. It's the best time to learn a language when you're not scared to make mistakes.

I can speak two fluently and another two to basic conversation level, and understand the very, very basics of a further two.

I am continuing to learn one (Mandarin) of those to hopefully use in the future.

Europe definitely puts the UK to shame when it comes to languages.

And again that is quite close to the truth. If the comment was that white man, the team's wouldn't have walked off the pitch.

History doesn't come into it. If you factor in history in terms of racism then you will never get rid of racism as it will be dragged back up every single time.

Here and now. Not 8th December 1830 , December 8th 2020 , someone felt a racist comment was made about them and reacted as a result.

No probably not - but then again white footballers or white society in general haven't been subjected to centuries of racism.

Secondly, the Romanian4th official will have had endless training and as part of his journey to reffing at Champions league level and should know that the word used is offensive to others & he shouldn't be using it in a European level Football Match.
