Footballers represent their profession.. They have to be seen to be behaving correctly online or offline. I think sometimes they get castigated worse than the general public. They are only human. I dont think anyone should be banned for non intentional racist connotation. But the FA have strict guidelines.. Look at the chairman of the FA resigning because he made an error in a usage of a word.
They neglected how he was promoting and being positive towards the black community in 99% of his comments that day..
To me it all about intent, but thats just my personal opinion
