It's crass and lazy. Or was it because it just replicated a martial arts kick? The same as they described Cantona doing a ' kung fu' kick. What a ridiculous world we live in...where you can't describe an action, even if it's correct, because it can be twisted as racist. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren't the only angry/offended people on this entire thread the ones offended on Martin Tyler's behalf? I haven't seen anyone who was actually offended at the comment he made, it's hilarious what's happened here. Some people with the "people get offended at anything" comment need to take a serious look in the mirror!

Why else would SS say they have had a word with Tyler about the comment. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
