Cytuj:
Greg Clarke has resigned as FA Chairman in the wake of referring to BAME footballers as "coloured" while giving evidence to MPs.
Clarke, speaking at Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) Committee meeting on Tuesday, was answering a question around the difficulty of gay players in the men's game coming out because of social media backlash.
The FA chairman had said: "If I look at what happens to high-profile female footballers, to high-profile coloured footballers, and the abuse they take on social media... social media is a free-for-all."
A few minutes later, DCMS committee member Kevin Brennan MP asked Clarke if he wished to withdraw the use of the word "coloured".
"If I said it, I deeply apologise for it," Clarke replied.
