The FA has revealed a string of offensive racial remarks by John Yems but still concluded the former Crawley manager is "not a conscious racist".
Yems has been banned from football for 15 months for multiple breaches of the Football Association's rule relating to discriminatory comments.
But the FA panel did, however conclude that Yems:
- Described Muslim members of the squad as "terrorists"
- Deliberately mispronounced the second half of Arnold Schwarzenegger's name to emphasise the N-word
- Used a racial stereotype to a black player of African origin by asking if he liked jerk chicken
- Told Muslim players "your people blow up stuff with vests"
- Said that an Iraqi youth international at the club "would probably blow up the stadium"
- Repeatedly made comments about another player "carrying a bomb in his bag"
- Called one player a "curry muncher" and asked if the player was unhappy that they did not server "curry pizza"
- Made a remark to one player about "how dark his skin is'" on his return to Crawley after representing Grenada

What a cuuuunt, and people wonder why footballers take the knee. Surely this decision can be appealed? Bloke needs firing from football for good.
State of the FA..

Anyway, we have got sidetracked from the purpose of the thread.
I'm glad this guy has been punished, and hope he seeks further education on what is and isn't acceptable in todays society.

You might be sat next to each other on said educational course?!?

Me? What a strange thing to say. I'm not in the slightest bit bigoted.

Yeah categorising is very complex. Reminds me of the rainbow flag which in its original form was a beautiful representation of all groups but the updates that have needless been added to supposedly make it more inclusive completely misses the point that a rainbow literally represents everything. Plus a rainbow flag looks really cool.

Coloured was the lowest order of staus under apartheid South African law, You were either White, Black or Coloured.
Therefore to call somebody of colour is offensive
