"HOW CAN MY DAD BE RACIST?"

Drogba, in his post, said, "You know how proud I am to wear the yellow-red jersey and my love for Turkey's most successful club. We all know how fiery and passionate derbies can be. I was lucky enough to experience that. I saw the comments made about Jose Mourinho. I want you to trust me when I say that I have known Jose for years and that he is not racist, which he has proven time and again. Let's focus on our matches. Let's support our magnificent lions and win the league to put on the 5th star. How can 'my dad' be racist?"
