From what I have heard I dont think there is any racist intent, however, completely unacceptable from the 4O.;
As I understand it the 4O has used skin colour as an adjective to identify the offender..
Demba Ba is absolutely right in what he says, and Stan Collymore (whom I don't always agree with) , everyone has name number, official role on the team sheet, there is zero need to use skin colour as the adjective. It's unlikely that had the offender been Caucasian he wouldn't have said the white guy.
I think this guys career has just gone up in smoke. There will be no coming back from this.
