A drunken peabrain using the most pertinent insult to express its frustration is the most likely scenario. Unfortunately though Farage and Tommy three names have led the far right into thinking their idiotic nastiness is somehow acceptable nowadays
I see where you’re coming from. Sterling is a good looking young man with a few thousand in the bank, possibly more than the ‘fan’ will ever earn. But why should others in the crowd hear this?
I'm sure I've been called far worse than a f-ing-black-c, SP. Haven't you? Or have you led a much more sheltered life than I?
If Mr Stirling and others like him feel hurt and aggrieved by a bit of foul-mouthed abuse maybe they need to grow up a bit.
And, as ususal, our "overstrained and undermanned" police force is wasting its time prosecuting ingorant types who hurt people's feelings rather than the real criminal types who threaten their lives and property.
"Since the Brexit vote, this sort of behaviour has been on the rise again - the "rotten johnny foreigner" syndrome of the Little Englanders."
Absolute cobblers.
This was at a football match and racist chants and language has been going on at such events ever since black people began to take to the pitch. It has become no worse (nor indeed any better) since 2016 and to suggest that it has is not only jumping on a bandwagon, it is building the vehicle and installing a highly tuned engine. Unfortunate as it may seem, some people who attend football matches are not among the sharpest knives in the drawer nor the most polite and their attitude towards "rotten johnny foreigner" has always been as it is.
The metropolitan police force claims it has 900 officers working exclusively on "hate crimes", (you're supposed to be impressed) while the knife crimes continue apace, and are mostly unsolved.
Had the player been white and was simply called a f-ing c by one of the "fans" there would have been no headline, no problem and no threatened police involvement. It's adding a (fairly accurate) description of the player's skin colour that's caused all the fuss. It's been turned into a "hate" crime. Supporters can hate footballers for any reason they like so long as it does not involve their race or colour. That's when the full panoply of the "hate squad" swings into action.
I suspect the perpetrator of this comment uses this sort of language fairly regularly and is just a foul mouthed git. It wasn't probably intentionally racist and could equally have been - 'fu----g bald c---', fu----g ginger c---' etc, depending on which footballer annoyed at that time.
