Why do players never Warm Down?

You always see them warm up before the game or running up and down the sides off the pitch ready to come on... but when one comes off for a sub he just sticks a coat on and sits down.

Any sports i've ever played properly we warm-up at the start at warm-down at the end.

Meh, I guess walking off the field is enough.

Well subs don't warm down right away, but the whole team warms down after the game. I know this because that incident with Chelsea team and stewards happened after the match while Chelsea was warming down.

Evra got into a fight with someone at Chelsea when he was warming down.



There was something about racist abuse towards Evra as well.

They do.

Evra didn't even punch anyone, and he got a heavier punishment than Drogba throwing a coin into the crowd.

They do, they spend some time in the dressing room though. If they didn't cool down either they'd problably all be knackered and stiff in the next game and training with all the lactic acid staying around their legs etc.

Why are all the Black dudes trying to hold him back and all the White dudes are sitting around with their mouth open like idiots?
I'm pulling out the race card.
