Shaun Phelan himself agrees the comments he made were totally inappropriate on National TV , so he is at odds with those on here that say they were fine .
Again , iam no woke warrior at all , I enjoy having the piss taken out of me , I enjoy taking the piss . But my point has always been in 2021 that cannot be said on National TV and not expect to get a sanction , all sports are the same , look at the crazy overreaction to that England cricketer the other week, then they tried to slur other guys inc a NZ cricketer for a tweet he made years back that were very mild imho .
I hear Poms this and that loads , it's great , it's funny , and I really don't give a crap what is said to me and 99 per cent time it's a laugh and bit of back and forth with great mates , the other 1 per cent is even funnier , nothing funnier than people getting wound up , my phone will melt with txts if Italy win on Monday morning taking piss put of England but it it's not about individuals and my point is I feel racing was backed into a corner . Imagine it came out on news and they had ignored it , the action they took and Shaun's mature reation has imho taken the wind out the sails of the " woke warriors " .
I actually reckon Shaun comes out of this looking like a thoroughly decent individual , we all make on mistakes for gods sake , the authorities had to act IMHO and hes copped it with grace , better that than they ignore it and then it's on news they swept it under carpet.
Likewise TN , always enjoy your posts.
