'Try reading up on it'? Patronising beyond belief. I am very familiar with the case, and with the reasons why JT was found not guilty.
It was not possible for the court to absolutely prove that Terry had not thought he'd heard AF saying "Don't call me a ...", and so they had to find him not guilty. His 'reasons' for using this language, whilst almost universally seen as laughably ridiculous, could not be disproved. I cannot believe that you accept his stated reasons without question.
The FA saw through him, and so have most other people. His behaviour towards Anton Ferdinand was clearly racist. Get your head out of the sand.
He may be a racist who knows the fact is there is not evidence to support this view which is why a court was unable to prove this to be the case. You may be slightly more comfortable making your own decisions and judgements on you people you don't know based on your own interpretation of what was presented I am not.
