Then direct your criticism at Bartoniron who made the accusation in the first place! ;-)
My only point was related to f row crew saying that such fans were just displaying passion in response to a racism claim, while not wanting to dismiss it or validate it as a verifiable fact. My point being that if they were racist, without making any claims to the validity, that wouldn’t be a good response to it since racists should be dealt with.
I don’t want to make any accusations against BI or f row crew. I am sure f row crew didn’t mean racists should be ignored, he might have thought it not worth mentioning because he knew racism wasn’t a factor yesterday. Likewise, BI may have misheard something or may have picked up on something others missed. I don’t know. I don’t want to make any kind of firm accusation against them.
I just felt a bit singled out, because I wasn’t the one making the accusations of racism. Like I say, my point was solely to do with the hypothetical, because too many claims or not, racism has no place in football.
Some of the activists may make spurious claims, but it exists as an undercurrent for some. On the other hand, what isn’t acknowledged a lot, is that we are one of the better nations for dealing with it and for racial attitudes. :-) However, this doesn’t mean we should be complacent.
Anyway, I apologise for reacting angrily and being mean. I just didn’t like what I felt were unfair accusations. :-) No hard feelings, eh? :-)
