you've taken that view.

Shame on him?

I think he is shining a light on something incredibly important in a way that we don't often think about. I wouldn't call it "b***hing".

It's not easy just to walk off when it is a team sport, I would imagine. Either way, I'm not going to lecture a young black man on how he responds to racial abuse.
