I know Paul as a thoroughly decent, honest hard-working fellow, who was being touted for higher things, within the game, and now admire him all the more for his resignation. He knows that what he did was wrong/stupid/unbecoming of an ambassador for football and anti-racism in particular. What he certainly would not want, is for people to defend what he rightly considers the undefensible. If a word is considered worthy of banning, it must be a ban for everyone. Isn't this what the Suarez incident was all about? Personally, I don't believe that some who have had their careers ruined because of the use of the offensive word, are necessarily racist and fear that it's the OTT way we are presently dealing with it - heavy-handed retribution, rather than steady education - which could ultimately have the opposite effect originally intended, with minority groups suffering because of it. | ||
