    How stupid can footballers get? Why delete the tweet if there is anything wrong with it? Maybe because Choc-ice is Black American slang for a Black person whose lifestyle, opinions and attitudes are those of the White society - a black person trying to be white. Way to go Ferdinand. Now that your football career is over take up politics.

    Ferdinand didn't call him that, he laughed at someone else calling him it. People are entitled to think its wrong, but don't twist it into something else entirely.

    That is pretty amazing, Rio has now obliquely used an offensive ter in the exact same way that Terry claimed he did. The ironing is delicious.

    being discussed elsewhere and it seems the OP is inaccurate so I don't think this thread is necessary tbh.
