lcfcnsk Posted 8 August 2015 Posted 8 August 2015 http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/6581386/England-ace-Jamie-Vardy-in-racism-storm.html?CMP=spklr-_-S9SunSocial-_-TWITTER-_-TheSunNewspaper-_-20150808-_-News-_-219792893 ENGLAND footballer Jamie Vardy has been accused of racially abusing a gambler during a furious casino bust-up. The £45,000-a-week Leicester City striker is heard loudly calling him “Jap” three times in shocking video footage obtained by The Sun on Sunday. Vardy, 28, sparked a race row last night after he was seen abusing the fellow card player during a late-night poker game, saying: “Yo Jap, walk on.” A witness said: “He behaved like an absolute animal, it was appalling. The other guy was a man of East Asian appearance. He looked shocked. “As an England international he should know that eyes are going to be on him when he goes out, but he acted just like a football thug.” Vardy was at the casino in Leicester with team-mates David Nugent, 30, and Ritchie De Laet, 26, when the row broke out in the early hours of July 26, watched by Vardy’s fiancée, Rebekah Nicholson, 33. The striker apparently thought a middle-aged man behind him was looking at his cards. There is no suggestion the other players did anything wrong. Anti-racism campaign group Kick It Out last night called for an investigation. And Dr Ruth Taplin, director of the Centre for Japanese and East Asian Studies in London, blasted the “Jap” remark as racist.
TMELcfc Posted 8 August 2015 Posted 8 August 2015 Why do footballers never learn... Wonder if this goes as far as the Thailand incident.
TheUltimateWinner Posted 8 August 2015 Posted 8 August 2015 They had to wait until we were top of the league to publish this
benpicko Posted 8 August 2015 Posted 8 August 2015 What wonderful news, was wondering when the next shitstorm would kick in
foxes_rule1978 Posted 8 August 2015 Posted 8 August 2015 Maybe he was just saying Yo Chap, walk on.... I hope... well typical after such a wonderful performance that this crops up
BigMicky Posted 8 August 2015 Posted 8 August 2015 If true, should be sacked as per the previous trio.
ScouseFox Posted 8 August 2015 Posted 8 August 2015 ders a rat in the camp If true, should be sacked as per the previous trio.you messin Vardy is half decent
ALC Fox Posted 8 August 2015 Posted 8 August 2015 Referring to a person's race, nationality or skin colour can be perceived to be racist if said aggressively or in a manner intended to cause intimidation. Though not the most offensive term and certainly not as offensive as what we saw in the summer, it probably does need investigating and I wouldn't be surprised if he got slapped with a maximum fine by the club if found guilty. Real shame if true.
BlueSi13 Posted 8 August 2015 Posted 8 August 2015 ****. Now if this is true what on earth can the club do? We sacked three players when just the one used a racial slur, surely they couldn't turn a blind eye to this one?
PAULCFC Posted 8 August 2015 Posted 8 August 2015 "sparked a race row"....mmmmmmmm no!Can't see anyone bothered round here and i have two Japanese friends round!
Charl91 Posted 8 August 2015 Posted 8 August 2015 ****. Now if this is true what on earth can the club do? We sacked three players when just the one used a racial slur, surely they couldn't turn a blind eye to this one? It probably wasn't just the racist slur that they were sacked for, though that must've played a big part.
lgfualol Posted 8 August 2015 Posted 8 August 2015 If we don't sack Simpson for trying to murder his wife then Vardy will be okay.
ALC Fox Posted 8 August 2015 Posted 8 August 2015 Any reason why the video itself isn't on their website, by the way? Could it be interpreted as 'chap' rather than 'Jap'?
The Doctor Posted 8 August 2015 Posted 8 August 2015 Slightly suspicious that the sun claim to have footage but aren't publishing it... Poverty paper, poverty website, poverty reporting and fact checking, not releasing the footage, a move massively out of character for the scum. If it's true, it needs looking at, but seems a big if for me.
Littletoe Posted 8 August 2015 Posted 8 August 2015 The media for some strange reason, have an obsession with trying to scrutinize and diminish the reputation of this club, it's ****ing weird. I don't personally see Vardy calling someone a " Jap " as a derogatory or racist term, unless it's being used to belittle or embarrass the person involved. Anyone even bothering trying to compare this scenario to the one them 3 idiots did in Thailand, where they DID use racial slurs, give your head a wobble. Until this is properly investigated, we won't know the truth, only what this journalist and apparent victims agendas are.Kinda ironic that Vardys partner upfront now, is a well known and respected Japanese international.
ScouseFox Posted 8 August 2015 Posted 8 August 2015 Jamie Vardy cancelling his party cos Okazaki said he naughty
