If you got banned at the start of the first lockdown you’d only be 2/3rds of the way through your ban. As I said, I’m using it as a frame of reference. 3 years is a very long time and not something you just wait to pass.
I don’t believe for a second that even the biggest, thick as pig shit racist would think a 3 year ban is a worthy trade off for being able to call a black player the N word.
