    ...how thick and uneducated most of the people involved e.g. the PFA are! They have now brought in lawyers to try and get their money back from a comedian.
    Reginald D. Hunter the aforementioned comedian has summed up the fiasco with his night at the awards very succinctly by posting a few pictures with one entitled 'Irony's annual night off!'

    A black guy using the using the N word in the context of topical issues i.e. the racism in football, is clearly 'racist' according to the powers-that-be in the PFA.

    Political correctness gone mad! Britain is fast becoming a laughing stock. Soon humour will be banned altogether since any subject will be deemed to cause offence to someone. Footballers in general = ****ers!!

    On top of all that we have senior FIFA people resigning for taking bribes!! Who would have thought it?

    He was told not to use such words pre show.

    Football in Englands the biggest best league in the world and we have a microscope on everything what goes on.
    It wasn't humour because whats gone on in football in the last 12 month or so.

    Have you seen what Reginald D Hunter's previous live shows have been called? Anyone booking him without knowing his material first is obviously an idiot.

    You wouldn't book Frankie Boyle for a mental health conference, why book a comedian who's act is often based on race issues for the PFA do?

    Yeah, but the PFA have a point. Better to apologise and ask for their money back than have tro try to teach neanderthals like Rooney and Terry the concept of context.

    I've seen Reginald D Hunter twice.

    It's uncomfortably funny, but it is funny because it's close to the bone and he's willing to channel the content that way... and being a black american, he's able to do so.

    One of the sets, a woman stood up, went to the stage, and started to tell him it was unacceptable to say the n word, even if he was black because of it's links to slavery. His response.... to say the n word at her every time she went to open her mouth.

    You can't blame the comedian, you have to blame the people who booked him failing to do the most basic of research about his reputation and likely content.
