Kasey Palmer reacts after Sheffield Wednesday racism storm – sends message to Owls fans

Palmer's Coventry City came away from Hillsborough with three points on Saturday as they kept up an impressive run of form in the Championship, but all of the talk post game was surrounding an incident in front of the Kop after the attacker suggested that somebody in the crowd has directed racial abuse his way.

Coventry and Wednesday have since released a statement condemning any form of racist behaviour, while the player's manager, Mark Robins, made it clear that he hoped any culprit was punished for their actions.

Now Palmer has taken to social media in order to address the situation himself, saying that it's a 'disgrace' that it is still happening in the modern world.

"Disappointed to even have to come on here & write this," he said. "Racism is a disgrace... It has no place in the world, let alone football. I'm black and proud, and I am raising my three kids to be the exact same. I'll be honest, it feels like things will never change, no matter how hard we try... Couple fans doing monkey chants don't define a fan base - I appreciate all the love and support I've received."

Wednesday said they would be taking the accusations very seriously, stating, "We will work together with the relevant authorities and anyone proven to be culpable will face the strictest possible sanctions from both Sheffield Wednesday and the law."
