Should the referee have suspended play? What other measures can stop this?

/// No - because in the history of the English league, no crowd has ever taunted a player because he is white. ///

But if there were I doubt very much that a white player would go off on one if the crowd taunted him because of his colour.

Why? Does this boil down to your theory about racial superiority again?

Hardly a surprise. The crowd in the English League is white. Players get abused for being black. It is in the nature of things that a conspicuous minority will be the victims of the large majority. That applies to all such racist or other discrimination and abuse, whether it is anti-Jewish, anti-Catholic, anti-Muslim,anti-Christian, anti-black or any other.

And we all know that a white player so taunted would adopt a stiff upper lip, turn the other cheek, ignore it and play like a gentleman. We can't but do anything else , it is in our genes. Why, we even ignore insults on AB, don't we? Now, those other races have that genetic defect, and, furthermore, cannot behave like gentlemen.

Rastus, I told you to pass me the humidor ! Are you deaf or just stupid?

Sorry about that. These blacks, well you know what they're like.

And, just to provide a story showing the rather better, more human side of football;
