The British are some of the worst in the world - at the highest levels

I think George and Errol, you are out of touch.

Years ago, I agree Britain was very racist. I was taught by my geography teacher as late as 1963 that black people were good athletes but had a lower intelligence level than white people (sic). And I supect many Serbians today would agree with that - that black athletes are some sort of sub-human species.

Watched John Barnes last night on WDYTYA. From a much more middle class background than me, he suffered racism when he first played football 30 years ago. But vast majority today see John Barnes, Paul Ince, John Fashanu, Tom Huddlestone, David James, Chris Powell, Danny Welbeck, Ian Wright and Theo Walcott as role models. Great footballers, very British and we forget the depth of tan when they play and speak..:-D

RESPECT!!!!!!

I was making reference to the British ambassador to Chile and his tweet about an anti-Argentine football chant prior to the match between Chile and Argentina for which he had tickets and which he said was "by mistake".
Is that a "get out of jail free card" response? He deserves the red card!

nudge

Thanks
