Bangkok Racist Tape That Changed Leicester's Fortunes
Emirates 24/7 ^ | Tuesday, May 03, 2016

Offending video featured three young players engaging in explicit acts

It was billed as a goodwill trip and a chance to unwind after a heroic relegation escape, instead Leicester City's close-season Thai tour became the turning point in their improbable title charge - all thanks to a racist sex tape.

The offending video featured three young players including James Pearson, son of then manager Nigel Pearson, engaging in explicit acts with a group of Thai women in a Bangkok hotel.

Filmed by the players in May 2016, the footage of the sniggering men soon ended up in the British tabloid press, shocking the public with their crude remarks including calling one of the Thai women a "slit-eye".

Even at my worstest I’d never even entertain the thought of having secks in front of other people, sniggering or not.

But yeah, nice axe wound!

So there’s not shock and dismay that these guys may have been involved in “sex tourism”? The shock is that someone made what could be perceived as a racist comment while involved in such activities???

Well, in most of Europe, making racist comments is a crime, while prostitution is either legal, tolerated, or winked at.

I’m amazed that anyone is surprised. Theodore Dalrymple covered the “thug lives” of British footballers nearly two decades ago.

(Pause, aghast, at the thought that the mid-90s was that long ago ...)

A little more info for the non-soccer followers -

"...with British bookmakers offering 5000-1 odds against a league victory..."

Leicester City just reached the top of the league beating all odds.

The article is a bit confusing since it says the sex scandal was May 2016. The date is wrong, it was in 2015.
