I guess it's a matter of perspective. I don't really like Terry for his antics on and off the pitch, but he is not Jimmy Saville, Fred West or an IS terrorist. If he signs, which seems likely, I still won't like him but I will support the team with or without him in it. It's a risk in as much that his legs might be gone, the expense and the reputation of the club.  That said, I think other clubs will hopefully fear us all the more.

JT is not be a stranger to being abused, alienated, etc...he will get over a small minority of people refusing to cheer when his name appears, lack of JT shirts sold or fanzines going into meltdown.

Trust me if Villa start well the Holte will be singing his name.

I'm going to bite my lip if it's a one off - but if we sign Luis Suarez as well, I'm done.

Considered it, but I can't justify following a team that has a rapist playing for them and refusing to follow a team that has a racist.

Like with Goodwillie, I'll still support the team but I won't cheer for Terry.

Trying to link politics to this was inflammatory and foolish. Maybe some leave voters suspect this country can't support an ever growing population, especially with severe cuts in public services.

Well by voting to leave means that there will be even more cuts to the already thread bare public service. So leaving the EU isn't going to improve things it's going to cause more damage is anything.

When a goal goes in I'm sure Terry will definitely be able to identify whom from the 35k is standing and clapping with a moral high ground.

What other teams do you like? I fancy a flutter on Adam Johnsons next destination.

I don't have a ST to send back. I won't be going to as many games as usual though.

It's a funny post, complaining about bringing politics into the thread and then making a specific political point. I've seen a similar instances on Facebook, and I can only conclude that the claimant is not offended by the politics as such, more that they disagree with them.

Not liking racists = moral high ground. 

Oh well, at least you're consistent.

Point being people either don't subscribe to a footballer saying one sentence or they they do but can't be arsed to spend money and time to go to a stadium and refuse to celebrate a goal / win because of one sentence from a footballer.
