Boyata and Logan used to play beside each other coming through at Man City. I actually think Boyata felt he could talk to him about it more than anyone else could. I think thats why you see Boyata gesturing to several players, coaches and officials each time he tries to approach him.
The simple fact of it all is that yes, Logan incites abuse from the crowd with his behaviour, but that is never a reason for said abuse to be based upon race, religion, sexual preference, etc. I don't think anyone comes out of this whole situation in a positive light.
