Racist Remark Reported

Postby bellwhiff » Mon Sep 06, 2021 11:16 am

There’s a story in the CHAD that someone reported hearing a racist remark being uttered by home fans during the game on Saturday. Firstly I’m ashamed that one of our fans would come out with such a thing, but secondly I’d like to thank and support the person who reported it.

That’s sad. Hope they find and educate the people responsible, I say educate as if you straight bad them they are just going to go be racist somewhere else.

The word uttered is a little concerning, it's a lot different to shouting out.
I'm all for stopping racial abuse in football and beyond but overhearing a comment is slightly different.
A quiet word to the person involved and a little education is what's needed sometimes.

Being racist is being racist , regardless of whether is shouted out or not, myself and a friend were the ones that reported the person, this wasn't just a single comment made, but from the very first whistle every time Richard Nartey made a bad pass, tackle you name it , they were on at him. Any other player...... Complete silence. The comment made towards the end of the game was atrocious, and simply no place for at all. A quiet word is all good and well if they listen, several attempts were made by myself throughout the game asking them to encourage rather than berate them, obviously this didn't hit home and needed to be made an example of. End of the day there is no educating a racist mentality

Well done for passing this onto the authorities, especially as it appears not to be an isolated incident and occurred throughout the match.

I don’t know what word was uttered and from the post above from the person who reported it (well done to you) it wasn’t one instance, which would he had enough in itself.

Totally agree, banning someone doesn't solve racism, which ultimately as a society should be the aim.
Unfortunately though, if someone is racist in the first place there's something fundamental there that's gone wrong, and likely beyond reeducation. Best case scenario in most instances is just stopping the hate speech

Thank you, I think I witnessed the aftermath, saw some stewards/security around that area.

I was sat in that same block against Bradford with my son and 6 year old grandson attending his second stags match. The Neanderthal 2 rows behind could only shout comments that included f**k or c**t.

I was sat extremely close to you and if it was the person I am thinking it was, they also had a child with them, which makes it even worse.

Racism is not a footballing issue, it is a wider society issue. It is learned behaviour and comes down to basic morales.

If more followed your example and spoke out we might just slowly turn the tide.

You can't educate a racist, especially one who is public with it. All you can do is keep banning them whilst educating the future generations.

Whilst I'm sure you heard what you heard, that isn't always the case... A couple of seasons back, the lad who i sit near shouted something to the ref (who was black). People a few rows down, one of which is black, misheard and they all kicked off, making all sorts of accusations. The lad in question was clearly upset by this and not a racist at all. They simply misheard and go there knickers in a twist. Thankfully it was all sorted out in the end, not before a few people nearly came to blows over it...

Are you for real.

Racism is still racist if it's whispered or shouted.

Well done. You were spot on with your actions. I dread to think how Richard Nartey felt and you two guys plus the others around you who had to listen to it.

Is it a snowflake thing to report racism? I think it's just being a good human being to report racist abuse no matter what is said
