Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand defends ‘choc ice’ tweet levelled at Chelsea’s Ashley Cole

Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand defends ‘choc ice’ tweet levelled at Chelsea’s Ashley Cole

Rio Ferdinand has defended his response to a tweet which referred to Ashley Cole as a “choc ice”, insisting it was not a racist term.

Instead, the Manchester United defender said the term was slang for “someone who is being fake”.

Ferdinand laughingly reacted on Twitter last night after one person sent a tweet to him accusing Cole, who was a defence witness in the John Terry racism trial, of being a “choc ice”.

The term is commonly understood to mean “black on the outside, white on the inside”.

Ferdinand replied: “I hear you fella! “Choc ice is classic! hahahahahahha!!”

Users began discussing the comments and reacting to them and Ferdinand wrote: “And if I want to laugh at something someone tweets….I will! Hahahahaha! Now stop getting ya knickers in a twist!”

Ferdinand’s initial comment has now been deleted from his Twitter account, but the 33-year-old did speak about the issue this morning.

He tweeted: “What I said yesterday is not a racist term. Its a type of slang/term used by many for someone who is being fake. So there.”

Last night’s comments reignited the Terry racism row, a day after the Chelsea defender was cleared of a racially aggravated public order offence at Westminster Magistrates’ Court.
