Sack this bigot!
BAFANA Bafana central defender Siyanda Xulu is “disgusted” at racist comments made by his Rostov Football Club coach and will stay away from training until after a meeting with the Russian Premier League club’s president today. Xulu is one of the club’s African stars, along with players from Angola, Ivory Coast, Gabon and Mali.
The club was plunged into controversy at the weekend after racist remarks by its interim coach, Xulu’s boss, Igor Gamula. Asked by reporters whether he would consider signing Cameroon player Benoit Angbwa, Gamula is reported to have replied that he had “enough dark-skinned players; we’ve got six of the things”.
Gamula threw a “joke” about the Ebola virus into his comments, saying, after five of his players had reported having a fever: “I am already worrying it’s Ebola.” He insisted later that he had merely been joking.
Are there just too many Russians?
