Rio has previous for racially abusing Ashley Cole Ironically because Cole defended Terry the way Sterling is now defending Silva
Yeah he was, and we all saw that on YouTube, but using and justifying examples like that shows what a tosser Ferdinand is, that's the same player done for dodging a drugs test, racially abusing a fellow player and breaking a woman's nose when he petulantly kicked the ball into the crowd when a decision went against him. What a twat.
Hartson was dragged over the coals for that too. Rio claiming "it happens" is as ridiculous as the prospect of accepting racism in training!
I agree, he seems proud **** like that happened, and he probably thinks racism is okay so long as he isn't on the end of it.
The message from Rio is clear; the England team is like a family and so long as you beat family members behind closed doors no one should speak publicly about it.
