I was at Murrayfield with over 67,000 fans yesterday. Good mix of Scotland and France fans. All having a beer. All having a laugh. Why when it comes to football does everyone turn into animals? Genuinely at a loss.

This is a bad business @PocklingtonHub Your ‘mission’ may have changed but the needs of your blind tenants have not, nor has the world which despite the Equality Act, makes finding a tenancy on the open market near impossible for guide dog owners. @NFBUK bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

At this juncture you people are trolling a man with a disability, open and shut. He spent his formative years apologising for something not in his gift to stop. Do you understand how damaging that is to the psyche? Apologising day in, day out for having no malice or malintent? It plays on the mind and John has spoken candidly about his suicidal ideation because of that. The 2 beautiful black men who, yes, were stunned, are also intelligent enough, inquisitive enough to have read John's statement which is sincere. But to apologise for a disability raises so many questions that John deliberately, through his campaigning, documentaries and film tries to answer. If he apologises, what is he apologising for? Something he has no control over? A verifiable, medical industry diagnosed condition? We are going down a rabbit hole if the disabled have to apologise for being. The 2 actors are black men, a cohort of humanity who literally were told to apologise for attempting to go into a school or ride a bus but because brave campaigners fought for the right not to be "other", segregation no longer is a legal reality. So instead of outlets like yours quoting "outrage and disgust" from "sources close to the actors", maybe in good time we'll hear from them, in context and in clarity. The only wiggle room anyone has morally when arguing for an apology is courtesy. That John choses to call the men and informally explain his condition, the scenario on the night ( stressful for a Tourettes sufferer) and offers just a personal "I hope you understand". A common courtesy many would agree with. But be under no illusion, John needs not to apologise for his disability and any explanation of his condition to anyone offended by words he involuntarily said should be his choice, in his time and in tne basis that he can not ( UK law backs this up) be blamed for an involuntary act. Your headline and desperate need for this to be about racism when in fact it is about disability and the grey area of involuntary act meeting understandable offence, an area that if outlets like you took the heat out of the situation would more than likely happen between the 3 men.
