Scouser this, Manc that. Lucky he is white and not a woman or SKY might have given him a medal.
Given that Rodney Marsh was sacked for a bad taste joke, he should walk, but my experience is that people usually get the sack when the employer is looking to get rid of them. Carragher is part of the big club agenda on Sky so I expect him to remain. If the person he had spat at had been Black, he would have no chance.

Had it been a Black person there is a fair chance that it would have been racially motivated, or at least perceived that way. In that case the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 as amended for racially aggravated assault would have likely operated. So you are probably correct.

But it wasn't a Black person so why do you mention it? In this case his motivation is unlikely to have been racial. Maybe for him it would have been better had it been a Black person because he would probably have thought twice given the higher jeopardy.

what if El Hadj Djouf ( infamous for spitting ) had spat at that white girl ?
couldnt you argue that El hadj was not racially motivated as he was always spitting at everybody ?

 


Kayla did Anfield & Old Trafford

Well, had he done it and had he not done it because of her race then it wouldn’t have been racially aggravated assault. Quite simple really.

And as there was no apparent racial motivation in the carragher case I really don’t see the reason for this discussion.

Isn't all this "what if" a bit daft as it wasn't so the argument is irrelevant

I am not a fan of Carragher however he has publicly apologised and more importantly spoken directly to the family.

I understand that they have accepted his apology and do not want him to lose his job. Sky now has to decide is he worth the grief they will get if they keep him.

Having been a manager I am in the forgive and forget camp, its easy for people to demand a sacking. In the past I have done stupid things and luckily for me I have had bosses who were mature enough to understand that it was just that rash stupidity. When I became a boss I remembered their wisdom when one of my staff stepped out of line.

The easy route for Sky is to sack him however when the "victim" has said don't what would be the point other than pandering to the blood lust of the twitterati?

Because I'm commenting on the double standards that exist in the world of politics with regard to 'race' today while hinting at the driving force behind them.

I mention it in relation to this because we have recently seen how the media and sport along with politicians pander to minorities as with the case of Eniola Aluko.It's all about appearances and profit. Had Carragher just said anything derogatory about a Black, Asian, gay or even female person , never mind spat at them, he would be sacked already, even if what he said was justified.
I also mention it because we have seen lots of abuse based on his background on social media which, were he to have been an African for example, would be considered 'racist', which of course would not be any more true than him being called a Scouse git.

I know you would like to silence opinion on this matter.
