Legendary football commentator in racism storm after describing player as 'big, black and brave'

Surely those outraged are intimating that being black is something to be ashamed of. Maybe he might be proud of being called big, black and brave. This whole snowflake movement is becoming ridiculous. You need to have everything you say vetted.

This new non-description of people,that we will have to use shortly, will only work if we are ALL BLIND!

I wouldn’t want to be famous in this fucking insane world

Oversized person of colour and not scared is this an appropriate description?

Surely black people are not insulted by being called black,more likely proud

I’m black and I don’t find this racist...People should stop this..

“My mates over there, he’s wearing a white shirt, no not him... he’s got trainers on, no.... the one with his hands in his pockets, no.... he’s bald, no....” , you mean the only black bloke in a group of white shirted men!!!!

Vale used to have a player we sing “Big Black Bobby Hazel”. We also used to sing that Robbie Earle was “Black as coal but he scored those goals”. Legends. We loved them and still do. It’s PC gone mad for the snowflakes.

Would you consider the comment from John Motson as a racist description?

Oh shut up. He hasn’t got a racist bone in his body. What a load of bollocks.

Brave , how dare he !

Words escape me.

In these days of multi-refuse bins, I'm afraid to tell the old dragon what coloured one needs putting out. Political correctness, gone mad. (I am joking before anyone takes offence. I am not married).

Someone explain. How was that a 'racist' comment? PC is ridiculous these days!

MirrorFootball Who’s been offended or have the mirror made it up !

MirrorFootball How bloody stupid carry on Motty more lazy reporting from the fake news mirror appalling journalism. Mountain out of a molehill!!

🤦‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️

Why does everything have to be judged racist or not ? If I was judged big, brave and white, would I be offended? NO

How many black people would be offended if they were called big, black and brave? If he has caused offence to these people I doubt if he knowingly done it.

BENEFITS_NEWS It was a play on words but yes, I get that it was singling out race so...he will get bashed. In his defence, I think the silly old bugger was going for a compliment. ThinkBeforeYouSpeak

Police description.

So was this player black Was he big Was he brave Sounds very racist 🤔 what a joke Pc brigade gone mad again

MirrorFootball Must be the vegans complaining

Oh get fucked he is a legend

I’m small white and sometimes brave.

MirrorFootball Mainstream media in this country are an absolute joke. “Racism storm” seriously?

It’s not a racism storm it’s a cull any old excuse if a player is big black and brave saying so isn’t a hate crime the only real opinion is brave the rest are factual I don’t really know who these people are making a living with their personal agendas but it’s got to stop

MirrorFootball Send him to prison. No Bail. For life

People need to get a life xx

MirrorFootball There's no racism there, big white men

So this isn't a black panther then?

...this does not sound in any way racist comment, and if anything an accurate and commending one.

Oh My God. I said to my wife “Can you pass me my black shoes” this morning. I’m off to my local church. I can see a thousand “Hail Marys” coming my way

Who stirred up this nonsense? I would like to see who they are & if there’s an underlying agenda

MirrorPolitics Why is that racist ? It sounds like a conpliment .

FFS, it's getting that way if ever you mention the word 'black' your a racist

MirrorFootball I'm black and that was made towards me I would have step in to this and defend John there's nothing wrong about being called black.

MirrorFootball What's the prob not racist just tell the truth

Fuckin snow drops

What about Meghan Markle!! “Male PALE and stale”!! Racist much 😏

MirrorFootball World is fucked

Don’t worry he’ll be on beIN sports in no time, hanging out the back of birds for the LOLS.

MirrorFootball He was a big and back man. What's wrong about that? I'm sure he's not pink like the Pink Panther.

But he didn’t mean it in a racist way.. more of an observation in description.. “Look at that the white player go and score” PCness gone mad

Oh come on people, Donald Trump's supporters call him the great white hope despite him being orange.

MirrorFootball I’m not black but isn’t it just descriptive, I’m guessing the fella wasn’t bright green

What's up? Was he pink?

MirrorFootball Unless the bloke he was describing is actually asian then I dont see the issue? ChelMarchioli

His description was 100% correct. No racism was implied. Fucking snowflakes

was he big? was he brave? no complaints so whats the issue?

MirrorFootball It gets worse. He said the ball was white, round and bouncy too

What exactly has he said that’s racist?

MirrorFootball Has the world gone completely mad?

MirrorFootball Edgy stuff 🤣🤣
