I'd agree his words were probably unwise considering the player is black but offensive? Not unless RH was suggesting he is/looks like a 'monkey'.
Yes, I agree that he probably didn't mean that, I just worry he couldn't spot the obvious bear trap.

I know in my job, i would be pulled up for some diversity training at minimum...and potentially worse.

And whilst some think it sounds "ok", because some black former players say it wasn't racist, they don't get to decide. Or would we go to them for every incident, and if they are in a favourable mood to the person cited, and they say it is ok.


No matter, just making a point. As i don't get to decide (except for myself).
