Banter or Racism

Sol says he is being racisted against

Are you extrapolating that from the linked tweet or elsewhere?

Was it the Spurs fans who had the song about Sol hanging from a tree or something to that effect?

He goes pretty heavy on the black thing;

Sol is pretty consistent on claiming he is being racisted against

He also claims he isnā€™t getting manager jobs because he is black.

Iā€™m not saying he is wrong btw. If you look at the list of people who have gotten honours for football he probably has done more than most of them

Sounds like both he has a point and that you made up your racism claim claim.

So he has a point that itā€™s racist, but didnā€™t make that point? Good point

Sol has constantly (rightly) railed against racism in English football. Its not hard imagine this is more of it. Iā€™m not sure what the other fella is getting at you for in relation to this.

Not to mention the gay aspects to the abuse he had to endure.

If Sol came out as gay heā€™d get the MBE, whether he is or isnā€™t

Well you seem to be making up whings he said, for whatever reason, thatā€™s clear enough.

When you look at who did get honours, and has in the past, Sol Campbell should be knighted imho. Whether itā€™s racism or lack of profile in such matters Iā€™m not sure. Thereā€™s loads of black and coloured lads and ladies of that era took dogs abuse across every workplace and stratosphere of society. Thereā€™s plenty of very successful footballers also, but put the two together.
Heā€™s achieved far more than the ā€œlionessesā€ who beat three nail technicians and a couple of PAā€™s.

Agreed. I see Beckham is whining again, he can go and shite too after recent efforts.

Beckham should have got one for the way he queued at the Queens funeral

Thereā€™s a lovely irony in a traditionally Jewish club calling a lad Judas.

Sol is very animated over not making His Majestyā€™s New Years Honours list.

The last time Sol got himself this worked up was when he didnā€™t get an invite to the last game at the old White Hart Lane and the parade of former Spurs greats and sent his agent out to bat for him.

Sol seems like a pain in the hole. Maybe heā€™s just not a very good manager?

Perhaps but the abuse he took over his career was incredible, and itā€™s no wonder he feels set upon.

Sol has taken to twitter, I see on the injustice of it all. Sol has very modestly tweeted a list of his accomplishments which he feels should have secured him a Knighthood.
