Yes, it is. But my issue was with a) him being "on record saying he would not be in same team as an Isreal player", which he isn't; and b) the implication that only one of the two can be a bigot, when both he and the Chelsea fans are, in my opinion.
As I said above, Salah's stance looks to have changed a bit when Abramovich offered him a bigger break, so obviously he's got a price tag attached to his 'principles'. Perfect fit for Liverpool.
Just a question from me, mate. The truth is that this wasn't probably an issue for Salah, it's more to do with the club, fans and media using it is as some form of 'victim' card that can be used against a rival.
Pathetic really.
The fact that Liverpool have felt the need to put out a statement considering their history of defending racists is ridiculous. Compare and contrast their reactions to racism from one of their own employees and to people with no relationship to their club whatsoever:

It's all about 1 upmanship, using everything and anything possible to get an advantage. The problem for me is how far some clubs will go. The bosses at the Dippers have followed their fans lead and their mentality now is that anything goes. Laying Liveroool wreaths for Aunt Bessie's dog and lighting candles for young Sam's goldfish are the norm for them yet when theirs any mention of 39 lost at Heysel they're nowhere to be seen.
Take last year, the whole of the Dipper community supported the hooligan scenes when they set out to intimidate City players and staff on the coach. Nobody from the Dipper community cared about those scenes and there was no recrimination. Then, they have the nerve to seek protection from the Roma fans when they go to Italy, having their mayor have talks with his counterpart which leads to outrage when when one of their fans gets seriously hyet during the build-up to the home game.
Wasn't it the scenes from the coach attack that sparked the subsequent violence from the Roma fans, who'd seen those scenes and may have thought that the 'Good old days' were back? Maybe, even, a bit of retribution for what happened to their Juve coompatriots all those years ago?
Always the victim, never their fault; the disgusting vermin!
