Wednesday, November 24, 2004 There'll always be an England? I think not. A football fan today admitted in court racially abusing black soccer star Dwight Yorke. I have no problem with banning a cretan, but a fine for mockery? Isn't that what he was basically doing? Mocking the black player. How that rises to the level of a criminal act is beyond me. Crude, vicious, stupid, idiotic - yes, it's all those things, but are we going to start arresting children from playgrounds for yelling - "fatty fatty, you're a fatty!" Poor England. It's become a lost cause, I'm afraid, and we are fast approaching the same conditions. England was once a great, masculine land of conquorors, heroes, nobility, gentlemanliness, and muscular Christianity. What a soggy mess of crybabies, wimps, soccer thugs, and sneering slobs it's become. posted by Mark Butterworth | 9:37 AM | |
