You can trivialise any situation if you wish - and plenty of people do, but the fact is that a nasty vicious racial insult was spoken, and dealt with appropriately.
Doing things 'in the heat of the moment' is a reason, not an excuse - the two are very different.

'' If Terry gets found guilty over this, perhaps the FA should consider not have mixed Black and White teams... ''
Yeah , and why not go back to the days of having the black folks sitting at the back , on busses and giving up their seats , when white folks come on
Or having separate restaurants for black and white folks
etc etc

"Or having separate restaurants for black and white folks "
there are plenty of clubs and pubs where a white person wouldnt dare go in let alone be allowed in.
I have a black pub very close to me , and the police dont even go there to do them for the drugs that are being openly smoked outside on the patio.
Its a well known local fact that whites wouldnt be welcome in there.

The problem with this story is that Mr Terry is already cast as a scumbag to a number of people. If you compare him to Bobby Moore or Gary Lineker, he comes up short.
You could argue that few people feel disapointed in John Terry, because like Joey Barton, he's not regarded as a great ambassador for his profession (taking this from the footie-supporting lads at work).
There ae those who will defend him, and then there are those who will reserve judgement until the case is concluded.
Me - well, I actually saw him today because the magistrate's court where the case is being heard is five minutes from my office. All I can say is that he is taller than I expected and his Armani black label suit was quite admirable (although it was one size too small).

AOG
How come there are so few stories of black players abusing white players with racist epithets? Do you think it's because there's a dearth of insults for white people in general? I mean - if you want to insult a black player, you have monkey, n****r, c**n, darkie, g***wog, wog etc?
Why do you think there's such a huge lexicon on derogatory words for black people, and none for white? Apart from 'honky', which no-one has said since 'Love Thy Neighbour' went off the screens?
