Racism and all the bad -isms

FA concludes John Yems is ‘not a conscious racist’ despite outlining a string of offensive racial remarks | Football News | Sky Sports
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
