Do you know what's going on with West Ham? I've been seeing some stuff on twitter about them being racist and I'm so confused.

West Ham’s director of player recruitment (and actual garbage human being) Tony Henry told a reporter in an email that West Ham didn’t want to sign any more African players because they cause mayhem:

“We don’t want any more Africans… [because] we had three and we felt we didn’t particularly want any more African players.”

Asked why, Henry replied: “Erm, no reason. It’s nothing racist at all. It’s just sometimes they can have a bad attitude.”

‘We had problems with Sakho, with Diafra Sakho. We find that when they are not in the team they cause mayhem. It’s nothing against the African race at all.”

Asked if he thought his view was discriminatory towards African players, Henry asked: “In what way?”

West Ham have African players on the team currently, including Senegalese midfielder Cheikhou Kouyaté and Nigerian-Italian defender Angelo Ogbonna. The club sold Sakho and Ghanaian forward Andre Ayew during the January window. Henry clarified that the club was an equal opportunity club despite not wanting to sign African players, but in his words, “If you’ve got too many, they all sit together and it becomes a situation where you can have problems.” (x)

Update: West Ham have officially sacked actual garbage human being Tony Henry [x]

West Ham United have today terminated the contract of Director of Player Recruitment, Tony Henry, with immediate effect following his unacceptable comments that were widely reported in the press.

Our action follows a full and thorough investigation.

West Ham United will not tolerate any type of discrimination.

The West Ham United family is an inclusive one where, regardless of gender, age, ability, race, religion or sexual orientation, everybody feels welcome and included.

“I will not be here forever just to play two games a year,” Iniesta said when asked to explain the unprecedented lifetime contract he had signed alongside president Josep Maria Bartomeu just half an hour earlier. “I will be the first to know when this is over. I don’t want to be here for the sake of being here. I want to be here because I’m important; because I am relevant to the club, the team and my teammates.” “Last season I was six months younger and it looked like I might have been finished. Now, this season, I’m older and things are going well, it’s like I have been reborn. I will follow my body and my head because they will know better than anyone else when it’s time [to retire] but it’s not something I’m thinking about.”

Gerard Pique walks on the field to train with the Spanish NT and get whistled, insulted and booed. 

The fans in the stands yelled: ‘Pique, bastard. Spain is your nation!’ and ‘Pique bastard leave’.

Guardia Civil also removed some anti-Pique banners the fans took with them to the training.
