Webber says sorry for ‘disgraceful’ remarks about black footballers
FORMER Norwich sporting director Stuart Webber has reportedly apologised for suggesting some black players, including Raheem Sterling, could have ended up in jail had they not become successful footballers.
Webber’s remarks, made to the Pink-Un newspaper, were criticised by Troy Townsend of Kick It Out, who branded them an “absolute disgrace.”
Townsend wrote on Twitter: “Former Norwich City sporting director casually racially profiling current and former NCFC players. Football or jail it is then? Absolute disgrace!”
