I'm not a racist or homophone or anything like that but say all kinds of crazy stuff when I have meltdowns on FIFA.
Seriously though, are people really not able to understand that things that happen on an athletic field are not the same as in your office or out on the street? The guy in the article is insinuating that John Terry and Ashley Cole should be banned from soccer, or at least Chelsea, over this because that's what would happen if they were in a normal business. Are you kidding me? You know what else would get you fired from a normal business? Cursing out rivals in a board room, headbutting, kicking, elbowing them etc..., refusing to do an assigment for your boss so I guess according to this clown 90% of professional soccer players should be "sacked".

Certainly, there are relaxed standards for physical and verbal conduct in sport compared to everyday life. That is not to say sport gives you a free pass to do/say anything you like. Violent conduct outside the accepted norms of the game is punished by both leagues and, on occasion, in the courts. Same thing goes for verbal conduct. Racism is not and should not be an acceptable norm and should be punished.
