Black footballer becomes the first player to sue his club for race discrimination

A black professional footballer has become the first to sue his club for race discrimination in a landmark employment tribunal claim.

Striker Mark McCammon, 33, claims that he and other black players at Gillingham FC were treated less favourably than white players.

He alleges that the League Two club took different stances over punishments handed out for missing training, medical treatment for injuries and pay cuts after relegation from League One.

Absolute Rubbish!!

The reason he was released was because he was useless at football and was on ridiculous wages which the club couldn't afford.

Here is some more from the article:

Over the three seasons, he made 52 league appearances for Gillingham and scored five goals. Since being axed by Gillingham, McCammon has made only a single appearance for Conference team Braintree Town and is now without a club.

Maybe that would explain why he was released! Honestly he was the worst player i've seen to put on a gills top (and there's been a fair few!)

How can someone be that arrogant, the fact that he tries to blame his faults on racism is just pathetic.
