F1 Racism Again
What was Bernie thinking?! In response to racist material posted on a Spanish website and reported racial abuse that Hamilton took in Brazil last weekend Bernie said:
Quote:

"[It was] probably beginning as a joke rather than anything abusive," Ecclestone said Thursday in a radio interview, pointing to poor sportsmanship rather than racism by Spanish and Brazilian fans. "I don't see why people should have been [insulted by it]. These things are people expressing themselves."

He's basically condoning racism!! It has no place in this or any other sport! In a week where I was feeling good about race relations in the world (In the course of three days we had a black F1 champion and a black US President elected) but not I just feel bad again
Ugh.
