Whoops. A typo.

Well done to Mo Farah, who ran faster than most people I know could run. That being said, I don't think you're jesus and a big deal has been made out of this tongue in cheek comment. Way to progress sport, culture and comedy in one go. The last thing we want in Britain is an irreverent sense of humour.
To the moderators: I'm sorry I said Mo wasn't Jesus. I didn't mean it.
To Mr Sharman - gutting. Sorry mate. Hope your knee heals quickly. If you're fit in time, maybe you could qualify for the Biritsh shotputting.
As much as we grumble about Kiwis playing for Wales, Welsh playing for Scotland and Pacific Islanders playing for Wales, Scotland, Emgland, NZ and Oz - the farce is nowhere as bad as the Olympics.
Hint to the world: do away with the olympics, and every 4 years have a non-professional world rugby tournament. I'd pay money for that.
Bull. Shot

very ignorant article. the rugby player you refer to issued a spiteful and racist publication ignorantly calling a person of african birth a "p-k-". this is not acceptable in a civilized society such as the UK. it is not a case of not having a sense of humour, it is a case of having a society which is sufficiently civilised to stamp down on those ignorant enough to participate in malicious racism.
just to make you a bit more educated on this issue, farah came to england as a child to live with his english father after a civil war breaking out in the country of his own birth.
next time you feel like condoning a racist in order to have a dig at the english, you may like to compare the facts about this runner to the systematic culture of new zealand recruiting players from the pacific islands, and players moving to new zealand specifically to play professional rugby.

You are an embarrassment.
As a Saints fan, Sharman is also an embarrassment. So glad we sacked him for that. A two-bit racist nobody off the wage bill. That's got to be good.

White South African being racist? surely not - It doesnt even make sense as he came from Somalia not Pakistan.... Someone that stupid has more problems than being sacked by a rugby club.
