Chelsea called out by youth players for racists acts – When will it stop?
Don’t think it was going to be any other team hitting the headline for this specific issue. Chelsea, notorious for their racism worries over recent years.
What stands out most about this, is our inability to move forward and actually proves how we have moved backwards, as put by the former Chelsea player, Lukaku. Two former youth player has come forth and were not named.
The two’s accounts are both shocking and disturbing, judging by the fact they were only at the age of 12-years-old when this all transpired. The accused in this one is former assistant manager, Gwyn Williams, who has been named. Good!

If these were your kids, you’d feel the shame and pain these young players go through. This too in return displays how racism is a sickness you are not born with but rather taught. Taught by the ones who walked before us.
With all this going on, it makes you think about certain players’ decision making and why a return to Chelsea is harder than hitting the exit doors, opting to move in the opposite direction.
