I'm confused why is discusing Clarkson when the Ukraine and Russie are kicking off wrong, but it's fine to discuss Ashley Barnes, our play-off chances, the most influential debut album, etc?
He made 'a slope' reference and somehow got away with the BS excuse that while he knew it was funny he didn't realise it was racist. Lots of his previous comments have sailed pretty close to the wind on the racism front and would probably see people sacked or disciplined if done in a workplace.
