Precisely.

How he can still defend this racist is beyond me?

Deep down most people in this world have prejudices. Thats a fact.



Show me someone who has no prejudices in life and they will look like this.

How should those of us that think he's an idiot but is entitled to believe in anything he likes and doesn't warrant an OTT reaction from his club or by anybody else feel?

Like they are avoiding responsibility.

What responsibility is that?

What's the FC song about him?

It sounds like "you're supposed to be in jail" ?

The responsibility the game has to make sure that everyone knows they are welcome in the game, that Cockaynes views arent widely held and are as disgusting to the majority of people within the game as they are the majority of people within the country.

That's not my responsibility. HTH

Proof please.

Are you the game? If not im not sure i attributed the responsibility to you.

It is the not warranting a reaction from his club or anybody else that is the avoidance of the games responsibility.

I would say that you should feel fine as that is a reasonable stance

However, here is my opinion

I agree that he is allowed to believe anything he likes – we live in a country with freedom of speech and that is a right that we protect. I fully respect his right to have an opinion, it is the actual opinion itself that I find abhorrent

As for the OTT reaction, I read earlier that Cockayne has over a 1,000 friends on Facebook, I wouldn't be surprised if some of those were friends as they are fans of Hull KR and if this is the case then Cockayne and Hull KR should be aware that Cockayne is representing the club he plays for on a social media site

What he wrote is not in a grey area, it was extremely strong racist abuse. If I was in a senior position at Hull KR then he would be dismissed for gross misconduct

You want proof that the majority of the country isnt as racist as Ben Cockayne?

I would have thought the fact it has been publicised along with the reaction would have made that self evident Barry/Katie

My original post was about people that held the opion i shared not that of the game, so how should if feel i'm avoiding responsibilty (your post) ?

Yes please.
