In 2011, Cantona said that the attack on Simmons was "a great feeling" and a memory he is happy for fans to treasure, but "... it was a mistake".[74]...In retrospect, Simmons' behavior that provoked Cantona's kick would a decade later be regarded as racial abuse which almost certainly would have forced the partial or full closure of Crystal Palace's stadium, as well as meriting Simmons a considerably lengthier sentence.[76]
What the fuck happened to England? Thanks, I hate it.
More recently when Paul Pogba's Manchester United teammate Marcus Rashford was racially abused on social media,[77] and ex-footballer Garth Crooks said that "[i]f something drastic is not done soon…" there could be an incident between a player and a fan, similar to Cantona's kung-fu kick on the offensive fan in 1995.[78]
Yeah, or successful athletes could practice a bit of restraint like adults and not assault sports fans for words. Sticks and stones, and all that. But it's totally the fans' faults for being mean, when they get kicked in the face.
Let's all fucking chill here with the authoritarianism and pathetic babyish whining too. England, and the West, get your fucking shit together. This is pathetic.
