One action doesn't prove racism, especially not lip-reading someone's words, especially when the word in question is blocked out by a person's head. You can't firmly say John Terry is a racist based on this, it's simply not enough to make that claim, because if he is found guilty, his career, and pretty much anything else he wants to do later in life, all the opportunity for that, is gone, and that's a big call to be making based on some lip-reading, without any eye-witness accounts, or any real statement from Ferdinand claiming Terry racially abused him.
As I said, even if he called Anton a black cunt, that doesn't make him a racist, that's just losing your head in the heat of the moment and blurting out things you don't really stand for, if he was racist, I doubt he'd have been not only working with, but captaining players like Drogba, Essien, Cole, Malouda, Mikel etc. for all these years and not had a problem. All in all, I don't think the FA will find him guilty, there is too much at stake for such a weak claim.
What bollocks
You tend to say what you genuinely feel when you're drunk, tired, in the heat of the moment etc. Rarely do you ever say something that is not on your mind
