Racism in Sport. Positive.
Was watching the Gold Rush documentary last night and got me thinking.
The absolute adulation when Mo Farah won that 5000m. Also the fans when Lewis Hamilton passed Le Clerc was amazing. The reaction when Raheem Sterling scored against Germany with the fans going beserk in the stands and us Norwich faithful showing nothing but love to the legend that is Alex Tettey. Should we not focus on these positves instead of the headline grabbing of the nasty, hateful tiny minority who think it is ok to be Twats
