Anelka given five match ban and fined £80k

Happens every week in cricket, rugby, football, no doubt most other male team sports too.

It's called 'sledging'.

In most cases, players give it and take it, just get one with it.


Sadly, football doesn't.

 

according to Talk ****e NA has been on twatter, he was given a punishment by the FA and he accepted that.
He was about to be punished by WBA too for 5 games, well he has apparently pissed off back to France and in effect, torn up his contract.

 

So in other words, Anelka has done one.

 

Well, good because anti-Semitism is a form of racism directed at Jews (but originally and somewhat ironically also applied to Arabs)

I don't agree either with your analysis.

I would argue that the "quenelle" gesture offends/angers millions of people worldwide through its vile implication. A racist insult on the field of play is an offense against ONE person.

 

Anelka is a mewling quim.

 

WBA have said his termination of his contract on Twitter was invalid and have now sacked him for gross misconduct!.

 

Kinell (or should it be Quenelle) I never saw any of this coming
