What a stupid fucking cunt this old bastard is. This is his take on the racism issues in football.
Wigan chairman Dave Whelan has ignited a new football race row after he told a radio station that black players have "just got to get on with it".
The Latics' chief believes that those who do complain about on-field insults are "a little bit out of order".
His comments come following racism allegations against John Terry, and an alleged incident involving Patrice Evra and Luis Suarez. Terry and Suarez deny any wrongdoing.
Whelan told radio station LBC 97.3: "If a white man insults a black man, that's big, big news. If, if, a black man insults a white man, that's nothing, and it's expected.
So I just think we should forget colour, and, you know, it doesn't bother anybody, I'm sure, colour and.... sometimes a footballer... erm, when they're playing at such a level... you know the stress is there.
"And if, if, they call somebody white, if they call somebody black, you've just got to get on with it.
Whelan added: "You know I think the players who come and complain sometimes, they're a little bit out of order.
"The game is a game, the game is a football game, whether you're white, black, pink, red, it doesn't matter. We're all, we're all equal, and we all play football, and we should get on with it."
Quote by PezavezHe does have a point ,when a black player is racist it dont get the same media attention imo
Refresh my memory. I can't remember white players being racially abused.
Thats my point it dont get reported ,do you think that it dont happen ?
I've no idea, that was why I was asking you for examples. So you are of the opinion that when black players insult white players on British football pitches that some of them use the term "white" before the insulting word?
To be honest I don't really see the big issue here. Everyone's entitled to an opinion and if that's his; so be it.
On another note I do think racism in football should still be harshly punished, however I don't see the difference between, say, calling a black person a black cunt and a ginger person a ginger cunt. It's all name-calling and judgements on the basis of genetically inherited appearance.

Your right of course, but looking at it that way doesn't take history into account. The point people seem to forget is that "Black", in the context of racism, doesn't describe the colour of someones skin, but rather a homogenous group who have experienced oppression because of it. Unless you were born yesterday, calling someone a black cunt is completely different to calling someone a ginger cunt.
What about bless this house. Brilliant for all us HONKEYS.
insult to white people. same as whitey and cracker, but no white person is offended by these words no matter who is saying them. unless u call a wigger a honkey. then they get pisse.
It should all come under the same banner of ISM, say like the Jocks, sluring them should be Jockism, weve had Gingers so should it be Gingerism. The Welsh known as Taffs or Taffistanis should it be Taffism, and last but by no means least in these examples Scousers, it should be known as Scousism.
