Worse To Be Late Than Racist

According to this article in the Guardian, Manchester City  have been fined €30,000 by UEFA for returning to the field late for the second half of their match against Sporting Lisbon.

This compares with a fine of just €20,000 for Porto for racially abusing Manchester City’s black players.

The logic of this defies me and I suspect every other person in the UK, be they a football fan or not. To take a simple example.

Does this mean if my bus is on time, I can’t racially abuse the driver, but if it is late, I can? Or is it the other way round? Not that we do this in London or in fact anywhere in the UK, even if the bus driver is a UEFA official doing a job on the side.
