Angry Ginge has voiced his frustration over the quality of stewarding at the World Cup, after confronting and reporting a supporter for alleged racism during England’s draw with Ghana. Having kicked off Group L with an impressive 4-2 win against Croatia in Dallas, the Three Lions were held to a goalless stalemate by Carlos Queiroz’s side in Boston on Tuesday night. During the match, Angry Ginge, whose real name is Morgan Burtwistle, came across an allegedly racist fan seated in front of him. The I’m
A Celebrity winner posted a video following the game, claiming: “We have a situation where the gentleman that is sat there is being racist [points to an empty seat in front of him]. “I’ve reported it to the steward because, kick it out is the saying, I will stand by that. So he’s going now to get his supervisor, and we’ll see what happens. There’s no way he should ever set foot in a stadium or watch a football game ever again.” Read more Ex

Due to this it was only right for me to stand up and deal with this.” However, the 24 year old then alleged that a steward informed him that no action could be taken unless the supporter repeated the comment. He said: “Apparently, the steward said he can’t kick him out
unless he does it again.”, reports the Mirror . “I said there’s no way on earth. All of us have heard it. He’s got to go. So we’re getting a team to kick him out now or something.” The YouTube content creator never disclosed what the supporter said, but in the video, the individual can be seen turning around and apologising for his remark. “I’m sorry about my comment about Ghana, it won’t happen again,” he said. “Can we just forget about it?” To which
Burtwistle replies: “Forget about you being racist! ? No, mate.” Burtwistle then alleges in the video that, while the fan was eventually removed from his seat, he was simply relocated to another section of the stadium to watch the rest of the match. He said: “It’s absolutely not good enough from the American stewards, the message before the game the message is kick it out – if you see it, say it. “I’ve gone and reported it, he’s not been kicked out of the stadium.
We saw him as we left, he’s been allowed to watch the whole game after the things he was saying about the Ghana team. “I think it’s an absolute f***ing disgrace he’s been allowed to stay in after I had the evidence and five witnesses heard him say it. “It’s an absolute f***ing disgrace, it’s wrong on every single level that he can stay and get away with it. I did my part, I couldn’t have done any more.”

Kick it out?? Like why wasn’t he immediately banned…? Kinda crazy.
I didn’t even read all that but if he’s racist then he should be escorted out for good. Also stewarding at these events is always a joke.
Wait so they moved the guy to another section and that was supposed to fix it?? If the steward said “he has to say it again” then that sounds backwards and kinda like they wanted proof in writing or something.
Honestly I’m not shocked. World Cup in America and somehow the stewards are like ‘call a supervisor’ instead of just removing the person. If he apologized in the video, doesn’t that mean it wasn’t that bad? Or am I getting that mixed up. Either way the “no action unless he repeats it” line sounds like bs to me. Also why was there an empty seat thing, like was he pointing at nothing the whole time?
