Paul McGrath, Carlton Palmer, Brendan Batson. They were on TV the next days being interviewed on news slots on every channel defending him too. No idea how you missed that. This is a more balanced opinion. He writes a lot of articles on this sort of thing. http://www.spiked-online.com/newsite/article/2491 This one is more general and the comments section makes good reading until some posters fail to understand the meaning of the article when the Yaya Toure / CSKA event happens. The journalist is talking about context and people choosing to be offended and the Yaya Toure incident wasn't a person saying something without thinking, it was a vitriolic outpouring of held beliefs. http://www.spiked-online.com/newsite/article/anti_racism_is_killing_football/14197
What a well thought out and reasoned post. What whelan said was wrong but you've got to look at the context and intent behind the statement surely - there was zero malice intended, very different to the John Terry incident for example
