The idea someone can both be a football fan and unaware of the racist connotations of calling someone a black person a monkey is fairly mind boggling.

hogesar 9,722 Posted May 10, 2019 I'm sorry but it's just a bit pathetic from everyone involved. The original tweet was pathetic itself. Not even funny. But I don't think Baker is a racist and it could be said that it's because he's not racist that he didn't make any link between the photo he posted and the fact that Megan is mixed race. As soon as it was pointed out to him he removed it too. Then the BBC come along as holier than thou and decide to sack him off the back of this? That's bordering on more pathetic than the tweet in the first place! I don't listen to Baker so i'm not personally fussed but it's all just a bit OTT and in my view, BBC should be concentrating on actual racist incidents and racist people than a stupid person making a mistake. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Championship, like all good parents, will keep their room just as they left it for when they come back home next year. If it is then I would suggest somebody is being a tad oversensitive.😳 Yeah. Perhaps the fact I don't really see any relevance in Danny Baker tarnished my opinion. It isn't that bad at all. I wasn't upset with it. Was just looking for another stick to beat him with.

My wife's homemade pasties (note the correct spelling) are mentioned in despatches on many rugby club websites. Only made properly if the end of the crimp hangs over the edge of the plate.
