Manchester United star, Rio Ferdinand has revisited the racial issue that happened between his brother Anton Ferdinand and Chelsea's John Terry in 2011. During a match between QPR and Chelsea 3 years ago, the Blues captain was said to have racially abused Anton by calling him a 'f****** black c***', an offence which was taken up by the FA. Speaking for the first time since the incident happened, the Red Devils defender labelled John Terry stupid for failing to apologise to neither him nor his brother. He also added that he cannot forgive him for what he did and put his family especially his mum through.
He wrote in his autobiography titled #2Sides,
'He never apologised to me or to Anton. And he has never hinted that he has ever had a moment of understanding over the damage his stupidity had inflicted on everyone.'
'For me, the biggest idiot will always be John Terry. As England captain and my centre-back partner he could have saved everyone a lot of pain by admitting immediately he used the word in the heat of the moment, but was not racist.
'I think that's probably what happened and what the truth is. Anton and I would've accepted that – instead he never gave us a chance. That was the betrayal. He tried to run away from what he had done.'

Sometimes people take stupid fanaticism against logical reasoning. How could you Chelsea fans support someone that chanted a racist comment against your fellow black man. People please reason and stop being foolish.
