He later deleted the post and released a new video on Chinese social media platform Weibo to apologise, saying:"I let myself down and the club."In a statement English football's governing body said:"It is alleged that his post breaches FA Rule E3 as it was insulting and/or improper and/or brought the game into disrepute.

"It is further alleged that the post constitutes an aggravated breach, which is defined in FA Rule E3, as it included a reference, whether express or implied, to race and/or colour and/or ethnic origin and/or nationality."

Great to see a 'Kick out racism' advocate is sticking to his beliefs. NOT!

Stupid

😡😡😡

Snowflakes again eh....

Snowflakes are gunna be all over this.

Disgusting is this!

just when u think being a biracial black guy in uk would teach him sumn about racism. this guy got an attitude problem on and off field. first his blowjob vid scandal which was brushed off n now this. dude got dick for brain and it shows.

They deserve it for eating live snakes and bats the bunch of anging bastards, it’s spreading to different countries now like and people are dying

Doesn’t he know we don’t do jokes anymore

God.. I see the self righteous, virtual signallers are out in force with their plastic outrage....

Son from South Korea must find it so funny(not) and laughing with Dele Alli.

He’s a rich footballer and rich people always get away with it. He’ll get a smacked wrist and fined some pittance. God help us if it was a working class person who done it “off with his head”

Cue the perpetually offended

It's a joke.

Good because it was racist

Brains of a rocking horse

Well, who has been a complete prat? Its peoples lives. Hope him and his don't contract the virus.

Prat

Oh no....fly lice!

Racist

just saying if this was a fan it would be a life time ban. and if it was any of us at work you and I would be sacked so why are footballers above the law?

It’s a joke everyone

Lifetime ban for the clown. mkscum

good

Jose will claim it was his brother.

Good! He should be disciplined. People are actually dying it’s nothing to mock or make fun of! And no need to mock Asian people/culture. It’s bad form

2020 and freedom of speech is now assigned to the history books.

He should be charged for still using snapchat in 2020....

Stamp racism out, and all that jazz

I believe this is not the first time Dele has got into trouble on social media recently? His agent really needs to take his social media off him.

Is he allowed to be Racist

Quarantine him

What did he say that was wong

And the idiots at bbcnews think that this is headline news.

Blimey these spurs players will do anything to get on the Dele

Dele playful payer 😏

There will be more floods if there's a heatwave this summer because all of these snowflakes are gonna melt.

Wtf is his snapchat

Anti Spurs establishment and media strike again

Aren't we allowed a sense of humour nowadays, too many leftish woke tools around sadly

Ban the prick. Possibly the most unlikable footballer in the league and there’s a few.

I regularly insist that my mate Chinese Dave isolates himself for the greater good of mankind. Yeah I said it...What?

Smart guy. 🙄

It’s 2020 and people really expect men paid astonishing amounts of money to chase balls to, actually, use their brains? 😂

Can you be racist to Oriental people after what they did to us in ww2? 🤔

Clever guy - my deepest respect.

What a waste of time! He will get a sternly worded letter and a suspended fine, which will be do small it may just cover the time he spends asking his agent to read him the letter

Did he have a cup of tea?

It was a joke, it is not meant to be taken......seriously....it’s getting now that you really cannot say that piece of halibut was good enough for jehovah, or Buddha, or even the prophet Mohammad..give me a break delealli

I think all of us would be fucked if we were caught doing things by cameras

Charged ? With what ? For a joke?

Wasn’t very funny

What a twit

Why didn’t Dele just mock his own teammate Son Heung-min and gauge his reaction instead of posting then deleting on Snapchat? Didn’t think so. Why do it in social media?

Dele Alli must know that we don't joke on such things like diseases.

Nothing to report 🤣

FA: 'Footballers aren't permitted to tell jokes, or have their own opinions.'

Just keep kicking the ball Dilly Dally it’s obviously the only thing your half decent at leave the more important things to the adults

Ffs can’t even have a joke with ya mates anymore ,snowflakes everywhere

he's a bellwhiff tbh

Prize twat.

If they didn’t eat everything with 4 legs apart from tables he wouldn’t have said it

It was an attempt at a joke...which failed miserably. Anybody not done it? Or should footballers not tell jokes?

Ok? Hes a soccer player, not a politician.

He should be jailed.

Isn't he half Asian himself? Proper weirdo 👍🏿

Dele, I was a fan. Bye

Ban him

A member of Mensa football player...🧠

KickItOut

Lifetime ban in order

Lucky he can kick a ball because there doesn't appear to be much upstairs 🙄

What exactly did he say?

That was about three weeks ago! At the cutting edge as ever...

You can't have a laugh these days.

Aaannnnd the mob will be coming for him in 3,2,1....

Very bad taste, even if he did it for a laugh. People are dying.

THFC should sort this guy out. He has previous.

Stupid boy.

So what harm has the lad done ffs

Well i just bought a ton of food im not panicking,just never know

And piers morgan still has a job for doing same
