On the racist subject, or more specifically how it gets treated differently to other serious problems in the game.
The main PFA guy is out there suggesting contracts have a clause added that players can be sacked if found guilty of racially abusing another player.......... they day after he publically supported Barton for assaulting two players and trying to assault another..... after years of being found guilty of assault on and off the field, in games, in training, and while out drinking.
QPR should have no problem firing him, the PFA shouldn't even remotely support him, and QPR shouldn't be able to be sued for firing him..... I'm saying SHOULD, not can. The reality is if they fire him, he'll sue, and the PFA moron's will support him, because somehow calling someone black, is significantly worse than assaulting several people.
I think racism abhorrent, I think people who think racism is automatically worse than other equally serious, well, crimes, just "because", equally as irksome.
