It doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist I will say what I always say. Ask your black mates how it feels to be black. Especially any who aren’t middle class. So football is trying to take a lead. I didn’t see these complaints relating to Kick It Out, so maybe the image is making people feel uncomfortable. I think that’s the point. What a crock of crap.

I'm too busy tasting wine and planning holidays to notice the plight of the great unwashed.
