Newcastle United’s Senegalese striker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/ADO-Den-Haag-c38221 who had allegedly racially abused the player.
The striker was furious when he discovered this and called the fans ‘stupid’.
The 27-year old forward started the match against compatriot and strike partner Papiss Demba Cisse in the goal-less draw that took place yesterday. Ivory Coast international Cheick Tiote also played in the match.
The Magpies striker condemned those who were accused of hurling out racial abuse while the match was underway. What made the striker more furious was the fact that such behaviour took place during a pre-season friendly, when there’s practically nothing on
the line.
However, when asked about the racial abuse, Ba said that he was unable to hear anything, but asked those who were involved in the behaviour to ‘grow up’.
Speaking to English newspapers after the game, Ba said:
"I did not hear it because I was focusing on the game. If they do that they are really stupid dudes. They have to grow up."
Ba is known to be an active participant in anti-racial awareness campaigns. The striker actively took part in Show Racism the Red Card events, and also performed community work on Tyneside. The player is known to be a strong advocate for social and community
work and added:
"People have to man up. There are many people on earth and you have to be responsible."
Newcastle manager http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alan-c4244 Pardew will be happy and content now that Ba’s £7 million release clause has expired.
The clause stated that the striker can leave the club at anytime up until the 31st of July, and this had resulted in mass speculation regarding his future with the Magpies.
Despite the striker himself claiming that he was happy at Tyneside, there were a lot of rumours that linked him to clubs such as Galatasaray and Paris Saint-Germain.
The 27-year old scored 16 league goals for Newcastle last season, and despite having struggled with goals after January, the player remains an integral part of the squad and is understood to be central to Alan Pardew’s plans.
