Rap-ist?
Crime was reported to the police, same as any instance!
I mean from the descriminitive "ist" words. Racist, Sexist etc.
This.
Somebody has a go at you on the pitch, sticking their nose in their private life and abusing you over your marriage, your bound to retaliate with the most hurtful comments that come to mind.
And I don't understand how making racist comments is a criminal offence, yet abusing and making hurtful comments about John terry isn't. Why was he allowed to call him a **** and make comments about his marriage ? Why is that allowed ? Because they are just words ?? Well what about the racist comments being words.
If saying something hurtful to somebody is a criminal offence, it shouldn't be just because those insults focus on a players skin colour.
In my mind both should be on trial for the slanging match if saying hurtful things is illegal
My thoughts entirely.
The idea that abusing people over hair colour, weight, height, etc.. Is perfectly legal, while abusing people over one specific feature (their skin colour) is illegal. Seems utterly daft.
My favourite parts have been where both Terry and Ferdinand have been asked to demonstrate a "shagging gesture"
He most certainly is that.

It is, can we now get 20,000 fans in the dock for calling rooney a fat *******.
oh yea, i suppose even the word '*******' is unfair as well, you cant choose if you are a ******* child or not ultimately...
i simply think that being offensive to one another is the crime really, being racially offensive is just one example. Is it actually racist, i thought he was english anyway, Anton...
some of the stuff said to Beckham back in the day was way more offensive than what Terry said.
Well Suarez got 10 games so they would give equivalent.
Awww bless.
I'm not making excuses at all. Heard of the old saying "sticks and stones may break my bones, but calling names won't hurt me?"
I'd like to know if this fella made the complaint himself or if someone else was offended on his behalf?
In this day and age where everything in life 'seems' a little harder; getting/maintaining a job, keepiing up mortgage repayments, staying healthy, keeping your kids out of trouble.
Should we really be making huge waves over a bit of name-calling?
I've had heated exchanges of words with people during sporting games, i've been called all sorts, some pretty personal, as i guess a lot of people have, but i can still laugh it off afterwards. It won't damage me in any way.
It's not really the point. Even if he laughed it off, it doesn't make Terry's comment any less racist.
Coming out with racist comments during a heated exchange shows the true colours of the person
saying it. Terry imo really doesn't have enough grey cells between his ears to make a controlled
comment designed just for a reaction. His angry outburst like a raging 12 year old counterstrike
gamer proves he's racist. Why else would skin pigmentation have been mentioned when he could
have just made the insult without elaborating on precisely what colour of **** he is?
