Everton ridiculed on the Baddiel and Skinner show back in the nineties. They emptied the Everton Subbuteo box out and they were the only all white team. Every other team had identifiable black players.

wasn’t that the same show that abused a black player because of how his hair looked?

Sure was. Said at the time it was inconsistent in its context. They got away with it because "laddish culture" was at its peak.

Stones! Oooohhh la-di-da! We used to dream of having stones to count mate. We used to have to count each others ribs!

Ribs to count on
We had to eat ours for breakfast and hope they grew back in a week for our next meal
We counted the headlice and then ate them for dessert

To be fair they were only echoing the stick he got at every ground he played at and any player with that type of hairstyle would have got the same, whatever his skin tone.

dont get your point?
no one is asking for him to be closed down, just take his pontificating about racism with a pinch of salt

Just this cultural shaming flying around. I went to school in Toxteth all the lads had either Carribbean,Chinese or Irish fathers. Lots of ribbing went on that wouldn't be acceptable now,but was of it's time. Baddiel as far as I remember wasn't censured at the time,so why is it an issue now?

if you read back it was only brought up cos he was trying to take the piss out of everton being racist when he could be considered racist himself.
