"Was racial tention the cause of the bad performance that on the mind of James Degale?"

I don't think the question is directly racist, but it is definitely 'playing the race card'. As if you could seriously entertain the idea that the 20,000(?) people in attendance decided to favour one fighter because skin colour. It's laughable.

Playing the race card is just emotional manipulation, as any opposition suggests that you must be racist. It's dangerous and only invites trouble.
