Panel concludes manager John Yems is 'not a conscious racist'

[plattlanebenches]

Absurd conclusion from the investigation. The FA proving, once again, that they are not fit for purpose.

The same FA that said they would back the England players if they walked off the pitch following racial abuse.

Haven’t you heard Ric, it’s all subjective now!

Jokes aside, it is a ludicrous finding and yet another dire indictment of that state of football governance (and society writ-large).

I definitely believe he needs a diversity and inclusion course.

Sweet FA!

How in the name of Christ have the FA concluded he isn't a racist after reading those bullet points?

i wonder what you have to do to be classed as a conscious racist. How absurd can the FA become?

He screams racist to me

Release a white power manifesto.

And, even then, they would probably say he wasn’t consciously writing it.

Nowt more corrupt than the FA

I think the giveaway is all those racist things he keeps saying.

Old people ( and 60 isn’t even particularly old ) get far too easy a ride off some people. It’s like anyone who was alive in the 1970s has a free pass to talk racist shit for the rest of their lives, on the grounds that it was accepted back then.

Well it isn’t accepted now. And they know it isn’t accepted now. These fuckers don’t walk around with pockets full of farthings and schillings because that’s the way it was back in their day and they’re incapable of understanding that times have changed and moved on.

I’m actually sick of hearing people make excuses for them with their… Well nobody batted an eyelid back then, bullshit.

And for the FA to write this shit off as ‘banter’ They may aswell get players to give a Nazi salute than take a knee before games to properly represent them as an organisation.

I’m 60, as is @jimharri.

I’m not at all racist, and nor is Jim, as far as I’m aware.

Don’t tar us all with the same brush.
