Although I agree that society is generally over sensitive and we have to be really careful what we say, write or type. It doesn’t condone if something was said with any discriminatory words(speculation of course in this case).
You should read the article about a footballer who quit at half time in Scotland when apparently an opponent said ‘’you should have done it right the first time’ - now their is nothing bad in that in isolation, BUT the player it was aimed at has attempted to take his own life on several occasions.
The whole situation is sad and I am sure at some point more information will be released.
Yes it is, and when/if this info gets out it could be that the words are only moderately shocking, which will tell us that Maurice was in quite a weak position (in relation to the squad/ IB/ staff in general?) and there's something of a pretext around this whole thing - otherwise there would be more effort to repair whatever problem it was.
Anyway, we're all left speculating without the details.
