So it is in the case of Eniola Aluko, one time England women's footballer. Now for whatever reason she hasn't been picked for the squad in a long time, whether it's because of her ability or attitude only the manager will know, my guess - it's a large slice of both.
So instead of taking it on the chin as thousands of other footballers do every week in similar circumstances, Aluko trawls her memory trying to find a racial discrimination angle and Bingo! she uncovers one. It obviously hadn't upset her at the time of the alleged 'racial slur' or she takes information in at an extraordinary slow rate, but she is suddenly outraged enough now to employ an ambulance chasing legal team, drooling at the prospect of making lots of money. Racial discrimination accusations, whether true or not, are the gift that keeps on giving in 21st century Britain.
So despite being cleared of any wrong doing in two seperate enquiries led by independent specialist QC Katherine Newton, the perpetrator of this alleged 'crime' England womens manager Mark Sampson, was put under heavy and unnecessary pressure during key moments of the teams build up to the Euro's finals earlier this year.
Because of this the English FA made one of the most stupid decisions ever, and they have made lots over the years, they decided to pay Aluko £80,000 to cease further disruptive claims in an effort to give the England team the best chance at the Euro's.
Of course, Aluko and team ripped their arm off and took the cash and the Euro preperations went ahead without further incident.
The England team are now in the group stages of qualifying for the 2019 world cup and played their first game last night beating Russia 6-0 and guess what? Aluko and her team have kicked off again, spotting yet another ideal opportunity for more liberal smatterings of FA of cash.
If only I were Black, I'd be a multi-millionaire by now.
Eniola Aluko
