What did Anton do to get abuse, other than being racially abused by Terry, and being pretty shit?
Exactly as worcester said, nothing that was said is racist but bringing in Anton is showing a level of support to Terry who said something racist. This may have been a racist intention behind the chant i.e. the fan is racist but fifa are wasting their own time tbh because they didnt anything wrong.What did Anton do to get abuse, other than being racially abused by Terry, and being pretty shit?
It isnt racist but alot of people in the media feel there is a racist undertone by bringing the whole Terry/Anton Ferdinand Saga in to itFirstly, the chant is disgusting, but how in the hell is it racist? the phrase 'clutching at straws' springs to mind with this accusation. I bet you Fifa find us guilty of it and deduct us points in the qualifying group, other teams like serbia get fined like 3 quid and I guarantee it'll be a pointes deduction for us.

the song wasnt racist, and if you ask me he brought it on him himself. After pulling out of the squad he flew off to Dubai and slagged the team off, live on TV. Showing a complete lack of respect,but then again he always has been a big mouthed,attention seeking, over opinionated, ****
How can abusing a player without any reference whatsoever to race be classed as racist abuse? Strange!
I hope it's not a lazy accusation. Player gets abuse. Said player is black. Automatically means the abuse is driven by the colour of the players skin...if that's the case its embarrassing and almost as bad as genuine racist abuse.
Can all be easily explained away though. If you look hard enough, which this bint has, you can link almost anything to something else.
No surrender? Isnt it aimed towards the IRA. Outdated? Hugely. Slagging off the IRA? Bless their little baby killing cotton socks.
You know what you are? Anton related? Quite possibly, but then again, as much as I detest Terry, the man was found innocent in a court of law yet people are still seemingly happy to virtually label him a racist. Slander anyone? It's easy to argue inst it?
Burning Rio? Age old chant, again, tasteless and pathetic. Racist? Don't be ridiculous. Black people don't have a monopoly on getting burned to death, just as they don't have a monopoly on being hung from a tree ( sol )
I very much doubt these morons are aware of any particular incident in history when chanting such rubbish. People used to chant about Beckham in a similar way, was that racist?
Look hard enough and people will find something they want usually.
Calling a fellow black man a choc ice is a racist double whammy incidentally. Manages to apparently insult both Cole as a black man and white people too. Rio is a hypocritical diva.
This chanting is all embarrassing, tasteless and hateful etc and I think needs addressing but this obsession with linking anything to racism is tedious. Racism needs eradicating, not just from football but from everywhere but looking for it when it ain't there is not helping anyone's cause ( apart from Rio's constant quest for attention )
