John Terry case damaging to English football - David Bernstein


Football Association chairman David Bernstein says the John Terry racism case has damaged the reputation of English football.Terry was suspended for four games and fined £220,000 for racially abusing QPR defender Anton Ferdinand last season.
"The reputation of English football has been damaged," said Bernstein, after Terry decided not to appeal against the FA's sanction.
"I am pleased he has apologised and we must now draw a line under the matter."
Bernstein added: "It is a shame that one high-profile incident has had such a major impact. But this single event should not be allowed to overshadow the massive strides taken by players, managers, clubs, leagues and so many across the national game in terms of equality and inclusion."
The FA's handling of the Terry case has been criticised, with former chairman Lord Triesman questioning why the Chelsea defender was given a lesser ban than Liverpool's Luis Suarez for racially abusing an opponent.
