He and the media should know that he's neither the first nor the last player to be insulted in a way during a match by the fans, even racially abused. I do not support this kind of things and wish those people who do that to never be allowed to step on a football stand again but unfortunately this happen in every game and you can't control it. Adeyemi shouldn't have been such a bitch and should have just suck it up like all other players.
He is a young lad ffs - I can't believe people are having a go at him , he is the innocent party in all this .
He was just playing football and he was verbally attacked with IMO racist abuse and it hurt the lad - no one can understand unless they are in the same situation.
Sayin he should just suck it up like all the others does no good at all and is a stupid statement . Hopefully his reaction will hit home to people how hurtful it can be and then we can really move towards stamping it out .
Is Adeyemi just the innocent party in this affair? His somewhat prolonged reaction which was only cut short when Gerrard intervened didn't do a lot to help eradicate racism in sport.I appreciate that the lad was extremely upset and that none of us know exactly what was said other than the usual crass speculation.His reaction however was unusual in the extreme and his timing was very interesting.That is just an observation.I don't condone anti social behaviour of any type at football matches or anywhere else.
Evra paraded himself as the offended party yet look at what he actually admits to saying to Suarez. Was Evra just the innocent party.Draw your own conclusions.
This and the Suarez case are completely different.
In the Suarez case there were two players exchanging insults which is kind of normal especially on a game like that. Evra used the fcked up system we have and accused Suarez for making an alleged racist remark. In this case, not only was Suarez banned without proper evidence, but also Evra, who IMO made far worse insults, got off with nothing.
In yesterday's case we allegedly had an idiot who calls himself a Liverpool fan insulting Adeyemi in a racist way for no reason at all. So yes, Adeyemi is completely innocent, unless there's more to it in the whole thing but I doubt it. But should have Adeyemi reacted the way he did? That's just going too far. If he can't handle a few insults from some idiot "fans" then he should quit being a footballer right now.
