This bs is getting out of hand ... don't these guys want to kick a ball around instead of having childish squabbles about whether or not to wear a sonofabitchin' t-shirt? Bottom line is, football is a game ... it's not life; it doesn't mirror life; it's a goddam game. And there are white players, black players, brown players, Asian players, muslim players, Jewish players, gay players etc. And there is racism. And there is homophobia. I know that most of the folks on here whose opinions I respect (and probably most of those whose opinions I disagree with

)find racism ugly and irrational, but it is a part of life, unfortunately. But get a little perspective all you football millionaire prima donnas; you play a game ... that's it; bottom line. What you think about racism is about as important as what Miss Universe thinks about the political situation in the Middle East. Ok, some say, "But they are role models." So what. So is Lindsay Lohan

And Lady Gag Gag. If the gullible and intellectually challanged want to look up to them, that's their business.
So John Terry let his mouth get ahead of his brain. He is tried in court. He is aquitted. And then those ... mmm what was it that Cole called them

... at the FA decide to pry open the lid of a massive can of worms.

It's not football any more ... I don't know what it is; but it ain't football. It's getting a lot like WWE ... the soap-opera posturing is becoming more important than the action.
