Race row not over for Terry

LONDON (AP) -Being acquitted by a court of racial abuse might not be the end of the matter for Chelsea captain John Terry.

The English Football Association now has to conclude its own investigation and decide whether to charge Terry over his confrontation with Queens Park Rangers defender Anton Ferdinand, which led to the failed criminal prosecution.

Action could also be taken against Ferdinand, who - like Terry - admitted using obscene language during the Premier League match that led to the trial.

The FA had to suspend its investigation into October's west London derby when the police probe kicked in. However, the governing body's inquiry was restarted after the chief magistrate at Westminster Magistrates' Court decided Friday there was no evidence to find Terry guilty of a racially-aggravated public order offense.

The FA, which stripped Terry of the England captaincy over the case, said its priority is to "conclude its own enquiries."

There is a lower burden of proof for FA disciplinary tribunals - balance of probabilities rather than beyond reasonable doubt in criminal cases.

And this puts the FA a "difficult position" as it contemplates whether to act, according to Professional Footballers' Association chief executive Gordon Taylor.

The FA banned Liverpool striker Luis Suarez for eight matches last season for racially abusing Manchester United defender Patrice Evra in another Premier League match in October.

And, even if the FA decides not to pursue the racism claims a court threw out, the governing body could charge Terry - and Ferdinand - with bringing the game into disrepute or misconduct for their foul and abusive language.

"There were normal verbal exchanges between the players during the game - however unpleasant, it's a fact of the modern game," Terry said in a police interview provided to the media. "I felt that QPR players were trying to unsettle us."

Taunting Terry over high-profile allegations of an extramarital affair, Ferdinand also made an "obscene gesture," as the Chelsea player described it.

The FA has already interviewed Ferdinand and Terry, whose comments to the governing body's disciplinary official were heard in court.

Prosecutors claimed that Terry snapped in response to the insults and bellowed "(expletive) black (expletive) at Ferdinand.

And the magistrate who ruled on the case said in his judgment that Terry's explanation was "certainly under the cold light of forensic examination, unlikely. It is not the most obvious response. It is sandwiched between other undoubted insults."

But chief magistrate Howard Riddle decided it was "impossible" to be sure what Terry said in the key exchange and could not discount the player's defense that he used the offensive term sarcastically to counter the obscenity he claims Ferdinand was accusing him of using.

Former Tottenham striker Garth Crooks, an anti-racism campaigner, said Terry should not have been using the words at all, adding: "For Terry, this is only half-time."

"This saga is not over for John," Crooks told the BBC. "The Football Association under their rules need to decide: has he broken any of their rules - ungentlemanly conduct, professional wrongdoing, bringing the game into disrepute?"

Barclays Bank Scandal Unlikely To Taint Brooklyn Nets' Fresh Start

The curse of the naming rights continues. Just as the Brooklyn Nets are about to settle into the brand-new Barclays Center, the bank for which the NBA team's arena is named has plunged into scandal. The British bank has been ordered to pay $450 million in fines for manipulating global interest rates and several executives have resigned.

The Nets are not alone in having their new digs christened by a tainted corporation. The New York Mets moved into Citi Field in 2009 after sponsor Citigroup accepted $45 billion in government bailouts for dropping the ball in the financial crisis. The Houston Astros occupied what was once Enron Field, whose namesake energy company famously cooked its books and fell into bankruptcy.

The good news for the Nets -- and good news was rare before the team's recent move to Brooklyn -- is that any bad association stemming from the Barclays name should pass, PR experts told The Huffington Post on Tuesday.

Marketing maven Peter Shankman said if you asked 30 people in Times Square about the Barclays mess, 29 would have no idea what you're talking about. The Nets likely have a morality clause with Barclays, Shankman added, but the situation is not yet extreme enough to affect general public perception. "If it comes out that the CEO fixed prices while murdering seven orphans, yes, they'll probably want to rename the center," he joked.

Liz Goodgold of Redfire Branding echoed Shankman. "It?s important to remember that this is not front-page news outside of the finance community," she said. "More Americans, for example, are aware and intrigued by the Tom Cruise/Katie Holmes split than in the nuances of this brouhaha."

Ronn Torossian, the CEO of 5WPR public relations who repped former NBA players Allan Houston and Jalen Rose, said the history of the team works in its favor. "I think Brooklyn and the Nets are brands in the process of building together, and the truth is, Barclays isn't really something which can hurt the Nets at this point," he said. "I think on both the NBA totem pole and in New York professional sports, the Nets don't exactly rank very well in terms of brand value or brand awareness, so Barclays won't really make it worse for them."

A representative for the Nets declined to comment Tuesday. Barclays is reportedly paying $200 million over 20 years for the Nets' arena to bear its name.

If the word of some branding wonks can't comfort the NBA franchise, the Nets can always check the history books for naming deals that really went south.

In 2002, the Astros finally were able to rescind Enron's 30-year, $100 million naming deal. The NFL's New England Patriots never got to play in CMGI Field in 2000 because CMGI hit hard times when the dot-com bubble burst and pulled back its $114 million contract before the team's first game. The venue became Gillette Stadium instead. Another dot-com victim, Internet service provider PSINet, sought Chapter 11 bankruptcy after two seasons on the marquee of the Baltimore Ravens' stadium. The Tennesee Titans once played in Adelphia Coliseum in Nashville, but corruption sank Adelphia into bankruptcy and the cable company surrendered its naming rights.

The sports world abounds with teams tied up in naming contracts with companies that are crooked or go belly up. The teams play on. The names of the stadiums often change. There's always another corporation willing to play ball.

But if you're the Mets and Citigroup, you stay together. The franchise continues to receive a reported $20 million a year from Citigroup and the Mets' stadium remains Citi Field to this day.
