Terry will be asked to pull on anti-racism armband in Chelsea return
John Terry will be asked by UEFA to wear an anti-racism armband if he captains Chelsea against Shakhtar Donetsk on Tuesday night.
All club captains will be asked to wear a 'United Against Racism' armband as part of a week of action by European anti-discrimination body FARE.

A racist being asked to represent an anti-racist gesture? Whats next? The Taliban representing anti-terrorism?

Well, if Balotelli can be a spokesperson for fireworks safety, Terry can wear an anti-racism armband.
I mean, he is also, ironically a defender, even though he's about as good at defending as he is at racial sensitivity these days... :p

No win situation for him. Wears it, gets slated. Doesn't wear it, still gets slated.
Grow up.

He wasn't racist imo.
I'm sure he'll wear it.

Easy solution: Take the armband away from Terry

Provide evidence Terry was a racist...
He was proven to be not guilty in a court of law, I hope you're a good lawyer.

Its called having a damn good lawyer.
When Ferdinand out of nowhere remarks that Terry called him a "black c**t" along with the obvious video, its not that difficult to deduce anything concrete.

Ferdinand didn't even accuse JT of anything until he saw the video ffs.Arquitecto wrote:Kick wrote:Arquitecto wrote:A racist being asked to represent an anti-racist gesture? Whats next? The Taliban representing anti-terrorism?

And btw, saying something racist in the heat of the moment =/= Being a racist

Anton Ferdinand did in fact accuse him of being racially abused during the game. Its not like someone tapped his shoulder after the game and said, "Hey, Terry called you a 'f**cking black c**t".
Well if saying racist things doesn't equal to being racist, then sexist slurs towards women doesn't equal to be sexist...right?

Terry's a footballing write off. His career is damaged irreparably. Wouldn't at all be surprised if he announced his retirement in a few months time

Re: Terry will be asked to pull on anti-racism armband in Chelsea return
^@Arq: Your quote is f**kd up
But anyway, immediately after that game when the video came out, Ferdinand said CLEARLY that he was unaware of what JT said.......until he saw the video.
I remember reading that on Sky Sports, so yes, it was basically a "Terry called you a f**kn black c**nt" situation. Do your research.
As for the second part, you seemed to have missed the part where I said IN THE HEAT OF THE MOMENT

How is it damaged irreparably? He's still one of the best defenders in the league. Reputation damaged? Of course. Career? Certainly not.Lex wrote:Terry's a footballing write off. His career is damaged irreparably. Wouldn't at all be surprised if he announced his retirement in a few months time

Forgive my quoting.
And no, the conflict was sparked within the match.
Here: http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2011/oct/24/john-terry-anton-ferdinand-chelsea-qpr Just one source.
And as much as I believe that this "heat of the moment" is a bunch of absolute shit. I personally don't believe he is a racist. That doesn't mean he should represent anti-racism in any form at all.

A flawed conclusion created out of Chelsea fans to sooth themselves upon Terry's outburst. Fitting.

Re: Terry will be asked to pull on anti-racism armband in Chelsea return
Not really flawed, its safe to assume a large amount of the global population has said a racist term about someone.
I would expect all of you to have at one stage, hell I do it too. I personally don't need soothing about JT, his outburst really doesn't bother me in the slightest and for the record I ain't white.

My previous post wasn't meant to be taken seriously. As for the global population thing while you may have a point, its far too unquantifiable to judge on many factors.
Thats my cue for this thread.
