Does It Mean Though...?

That its only "OK" to comment about the looks of a player if they're white?

Chelts mentioned 4 players, all white.

If he'd have added "...and (black player) is/looks like a (something)", would that have been unacceptable and racist, where-as the other 4 examples were just banter?

Football fans are on a knife edge with chants these days it seems, Henry Winter was commenting on the ones at Bale,but what if he'd claimed that "Norwich fans are having a go at Adebayor"?

Fine line.

        Of course it's nothing to do with race, but does that make it acceptable? (NCFC) - Higher Wrather, Dec 27, 22:58:18
