West Ham United players walked off the pitch at The Soccer Tournament (TST) in America, after an alleged racial slur was directed towards Frank Nouble.
A Dallas United player is alleged to have used the N-word towards Nouble, who confronted the player. West Ham players then came together to discuss their best course of action. Anton Ferdinand told TST staff, "I am here to set a precedent" as he led his side off the field.
When asked what had happened while leaving the field Ferdinand simply told reporters: "Racism". A West Ham statement read: “The players made a collective decision to walk off the pitch as a team in support of our player. As a club, everyone at West Ham United stands shoulder to shoulder in solidarity against all forms of discrimination and abuse.”
