Greg Clarke’s words have no place in modern society, says Kick It Out chair
FA chair calls black players ‘coloured’
KICK IT OUT chair Sanjay Bhandari was left staggered by FA chairman Greg Clarke’s racist comments yesterday, saying they should be left “consigned to the dustbin of history.”
Managing to be not only racist but sexist and homophobic as well while giving evidence at a digital, culture, media and sport (DCMS) committee meeting, Clarke was forced to apologise after saying referring to black players as “coloured.”
Further digging himself a hole, he also said that people’s sexuality was a “life choice” and that the reason the FA’s IT department has more South Asians working there was because they have “different career interests” than the “Afro-Caribbean community.”
