I'm just waiting for LeBron James to release a statement to complete the set.
 
Liverpool managing director Ian Ayre speaking on BBC Radio 5 live about how the club is dealing with the Luis Suarez racism affair: "I think it goes without saying it has been a difficult time for everyone at the club. The key for us is that this club wants to fight racism and discrimination. It's been a difficult period but we will get through it. This football club is the most successful in England and perceived for a lot of positive things. The perception of how we are or been over past few weeks is not how we want it."

...and the KlAnfield PR machine rolls on with another cracker...Nah lah we're not racists at all...honest Lah...

Joking aside, I didn't know whether to laugh or not at the link. It's almost child like and lamentable at best as an attempt to cover up how badly they have behaved.
 
Throughout this affair, Liverpool have (rightly so) been condemned for their handling of the situation, what I want to know is, does anyone else think certain corners of the media have behaved equally inappropriate?

I saw this 'article' today: QPR 1 MK Dons 0: It’s Anton Ferdinand v John Terry | The Sun |Sport|Football

This one is similar:
Patrice Evra returns to Liverpool in FA Cup fourth round | The Sun |Sport|Football

The Anton/Terry one in particular repulses me, are they not highly provocative article/headlines for the sake of it? They're almost making light of it, but mostly turning these things into 'Club vs. Club... Fans vs. Fans' and I don't think it's right, they know exactly what they're doing and I think it's just as bad as Liverpool's behaviour but not getting any ridicule at all.

Am I alone here? Thoughts?
 
Those stories are quite tame by The Sun's standards. Makes a change from their usual stuff: 'Achtung! For der Jerries, zie Vorld Cup is over!!!1!'

Liverpool are currently embroiled in a race row after their star striker Luis Suarez was found guilty of racially abusing Manchester United defender Patrice Evra.

Taking this into consideration, it may not have been such a good idea for the former Kop star to dress up as Motown legend Lionel Richie, complete with black face.

The 36-year-old posted the picture on his Twitter account but later took it down after users began to complain about his choice of fancy dress.

Araapatlio wrote: 'Suarez thing going on & Robbie Fowler thinks it is a good idea to post a pic of himself ‘blacked up’ as Lionel Ritchie? Doh.'

Tweeter Louise Brown added: 'I think Robbie Fowler posting a photo of himself blacked up really isn't doing #LFC any favours right now.'
Robbie Fowler, black face. Robbie Fowler deleted the post after a series of negative tweets from other users (Picture: REXMAILPIX)

On the other hand not everyone thought it was a big deal. @GazJonessss said: '@Robbie9Fowler Anyone who took offence, they're quite simply stupid. Political correctness gone mad.'

Razorsharpe09 also thought that the incident had been blown out of proportion. 'So I take it dressin up as a black person will be banned soon after the stick @Robbie9Fowler had to take for daring to go as Lionel Richie,' he tweeted.

A friend of Fowler, who is player-manager of Thai Premier League club Muangthong United, tried to defend him.

He told the Daily Star: 'Robbie wouldn’t have meant any harm. He was taking the mickey out of himself.

'But he decided to delete it after the PC brigade got on to him and some people were guessing it was Evra.'

Suarez was given an eight-match ban after he was found guilty by an independent panel.

Evra has been busy hasn't he, creating all these twitter accounts, pretending to be real people.
 
There's no accusation of that, people guessed that Fowler was dressed up as Patrice Evra.
