Re: Eniola Aluko: Bullying & Racism (Update: Sampson Sacked)
With recent developments I agree. She is a truly remarkable woman.Dr. Wazobia wrote:Everything appears to be working in her favour right now.

In fact, it may enhance her opportunities based on future contexts. As for her team mates, nothing really surprising if you ask me. Where the victim sees racism, the racial-privileged is blind to those. Kudos to Eniola.

Overall i think this has done damage to her career in football/media
Nevertheless kudos to her for standing up for herself
Maybe I'm not as cynical as most but I see it as an opportunity for the TV and other sports outlets to align themselves with anti-racism and anti-sexism.
Whether that stance is an altruistic or a hypocritical one is another matter.
But Eni Aluko is a quality pundit and represents too many positives for TV to get rid of her - race, gender and intelligence (which often isn't associated with football).
If one network drops her, another will pick her up at the drop of a hat.
Just my opinion though.
