From futuristic, what happened here yesterday seems to be another worrying indication that in fact things are going backwards. A professional footballer telling the referee, telling the world, that he has heard monkey chants. Not on a distant football pitch in eastern europe. This was Chelseas Antonio Rudiger at tottenham hotspur, in englands capital city, famed, theoretically, for its diversity. Rudiger himself posted several tweets expressing his dismay at the incident, but also stressing the importance of talking publicly about racism, so that its notjust forgotten about, as he suggests always happens.
