One of the funniest things of the Confed Cup had to have been when Bafana Bafana player Matthew Booth had to tell reporters that he was not being jeered by the crowd that chanted "Boooooth" every time he touched the ball."It's been a bit embarrassing because a lot of the foreign journalists have thought that it's racist abuse," Booth said.
Hmm, what exactly should the local fans think about this? It's not that difficult to figure out what the crowd was shouting. Yet "racist abuse" was the first thing that popped into people's minds.
And us Saffas are supposed to be the ones with problems??
It's really sad that people automatically jumped to that conclusion. I hope they're hanging their heads in shame!
