Bro saved a penalty as if they won the champions League
I refer to myself with the gorila emoji. I’m as white as it gets.
We all know that completely ending racism is a platitude, there will always be depraved individuals to ruin things. But how the bloody hell does the FA expect to end it from their side when they’re seeing racism where it doesn’t exist and handling situations like this? It’s like the people who say they “hate drama” often seem to be the ones stirring it.
The media wants to dictate what is and what isn’t offensive, good on Onana
That should put this matter to bed, it won’t, but it should.
Onana was a hero in that match, Garnacho is his teammate
it just doesn’t make sense Garnacho insult Onana out of the blue
so yeah, racism should be viewed depend on the context, it’s just wrong to punish Garnacho especially if Onana didn’t feel offended by it
Tbf the FA trying to take action against garnacho could be considered matchfixing against us as we’re more likely to lose without him in the lineup
Footballers need to remember that twitter isn’t the WhatsApp group chat.
You know what you can get away with when talking with friends. When speaking to the world you need to consider everyone’s reaction.
Footballers should generally be careful what they publicly post… at the end of the day they’re just footballers. Shouldn’t expect them to act like politicians
By this logic you can’t call a black kid a cheeky monkey? Can we still say monkey bars if a black kid is on them? Can we sing the little monkeys jumping on the bed song with black kids any more?
Also is a gorilla OK to anyone not black? What about to Indians or pacific islanders? Tanned Spaniards?
This wouldn’t offend me either but the FA set the precedent with bernado silva though so at least a 1 match ban and a £50,000 fine required.
Class act
Common sense prevails
Not really racist, araujo refers to himself with the gorilla emoji.
Thats like saying: Black people call themself nig*** all them time. Hence why I called him that
If you ignore all the context and historical significance around it, sure, same thing
Such a non story. Maybe the FA should focus on real issues, not imagined ones.
You can’t stop the virtue signalling train!
