Retford Sunday league football manager sacked for vile racist video

This comes after a Retford man named Jake Henderson posted a racist video onto his own social media accounts on Friday (January 22).

In the footage Henderson can be seen watching a TV press conference featuring Home Secretary Priti Patel about the doubling of fines for house party attendees.

During the video he said a number of unpublishable racial insults and added: “As a white man I won’t be listening to people of colour because they’re no good in positions of power.”

It has been reported that since posting the video Jake Henderson, who has faced severe backlash on social media over the video, lost his coaching role at a local Sunday league football team.

Nottingham Police have yet to confirm that Jake Henderson was the man questioned and summoned.
