"There is no place for such racial behaviour in our sport and society."

 

It should read 'racist behaviour'. 

 

While you can ban it in a particular place that you control, the real challenge is changing what is in peoples' hearts.

I don't think that was mentioned before?

Does that imply that Day thought that Kaka's behavior was not entirely "innocent" as portrayed to the public?

 

Anyway...mountain molehill he said she said we said.... Day is going to get his neck wound in by CSA I suspect

I was actually correcting their choice of words. Don't know what was in the actual press release. I assumed you pasted it as you received.

 

The two words have very different meanings.
