Rio Ferdinand charged by FA for Ashley Cole 'choc ice' tweet in wake of John Terry trial

Just need to see Ferdinand Junior charged for the original foul and abusive language.

"The allegation is that the player acted in a way which was improper and/or bought the game into disrepute by making comments which included a reference to ethnic origin and/or colour and/or race."

Personally I think PC Plod should have been called in. I thought we were trying to Kick Racism Out of football

Choc Ice

""It's a type of slang/term used by many for someone who is being fake."
In the context in which the term was used 'choc ice' relates to the black and white nature of the confectionery, when an individual is supposedly being black on the outside and white on the inside."

I never heard the term before in this kind of context. One thing springs to mind is how can racism be levelled between 2 persons of the same / similar ethnic origin. Anyhow, Rio could be charged with bringing the game into disrepute. If so, then Rio probably deserves that in the same way John Terry does.
