Rugby coach in racist TV slur

Quote:

TOP rugby coach Dick Best’s reputation was in tatters last night after he made a racist remark about an England ace on live TV.
The former British Lions boss was asked to name the team he would send on the up-coming tour of South Africa.

He picked Trinidad-born Delon Armitage ahead of Ireland winger Tommy Bowe.

He was then asked why. Thinking his microphone was turned off, he said: “Well, you’ve always got to have a coloured boy in the team somewhere.”

Sky Sports News presenter Mike Wedderburn, who is black, looked shocked.

Co-host Millie Clode immediately said: “He made remarks that he thought were off camera. We would like to apologise for any offence this may have caused.”

Sky issued a second apology soon after.

Last night a spokeswoman added: “We take seriously our responsibilities as a broadcaster.”

Armitage refused to comment while a spokesman for The Telegraph, for which Best has written columns, said: “We have no plans to use him in future.”

Ex-soccer boss Ron Atkinson made a similar mic mistake and ended his TV career in 2004 by calling Chelsea ace Marcel Desailly “a lazy n****r”.

the real appology should be made to the white players who should be in the team, but are dropped to make way for an ethnic, purely on the grounds of having to include none white on a quota and not on ability

He was just stating what everybody knows that there will be "ETHNICS" in any team regardless of how good they are which is "ANTI-WHITE" discrimination and it is now going on not only in sport but in everyday life as well.......but to question it you must be an "EVIL RACIST"..........
