After hearing that, I don't think Ferry can at all hide behind the 'it came from another scout's report' bull.
And it just goes to show you, don't use racially charged phrasing. If you take out the African stuff, and keep the rest of it, the report doesn't lose anything aside from a wink wink nudge nudge between some of owners. And assuming the scouting report is reliable, those other concerns are real concerns.
