I'm not shocked. Didn't racism start in the U.K?

Huh. I forgot he played in the nfl.

He never actually played in any NFL regular season games. He was on the practice squad. It's funny that the article say he was an "NFL star".

After reading the article, I don't see any racism. Too many people cry racism when something doesn't go their way.

"According to the solicitor, AFLT had made "reasonable and proportionate" attempts to recover the unpaid rent but that Mr Sam had failed to keep to the repayment schedule."
