I respect the fact you take the issue seriously. I also respect the fact you dont want people whitewashing over a very important issue. But I think you have let your commitment to that noble cause cloud your judgement. Honestly, take a look again. Some fellow fans have also looked at the same evidence you have and come to a different conclusion. That doesnt mean they are racists, they just think justice has been served by an actual court and are willing to move on. Like Terry's team mates incidentally.
I'm struggling to keep up, let me get it straight..."Racist" = unacceptable slur. "Fucking black c***" = perfectly acceptable, sign him up?

"Fucking black c***" = perfectly acceptable, sign him up?No. Not at all. "Racist apologist" = unacceptable slur for fellow fans who disagree with you and do not believe he is a racist or happen to believe he has changed and justice was served.It really is wrong and over the line, I respectfully ask you and SE think about it. Again I am ON your bloody side The reason I am even saying anything is I did the same thing last week in a different context* and I regretted it afterwards. spoiler politics*Spoiler for Hiden: In the heat of the moment I called all USA Republicans racists. Many of my Republican friends didn't much like that Looking back I would have phrased it differently while keeping the same intent which was to hilight the racist actions of the Republican party.
Well, the Republicans did get elected with the most explicitly racist agenda since George Wallace but, yeah, okay we can leave that.I wasn't calling all of those who are accepting, or even keen, on the signing of Terry racist apologists. However, there are a number of racist apologists who have exposed themselves on here. Notably the one (AVSnobs?) who suggested what Terry said was okay because we're all a bit racist and we all tell racist jokes really, or some shite like that.
Paul Mariner backs John Terry for Aston Villa success.I feel at ease now.
