What's wrong with pace and power? You can't have that and be intelligent?

But several CE guys regurgitate media cliche and use those to describe Nigeria and African teams plus the players. They somehow believe that they sound knowledgeable with the use of the well-worn cliches. Fortunately, the use of "naivety" to describe African teams have gradually worn its time on CE. It was a term that annoyed me to great lengths.

Unbelievable. And the same Oyinbo commentators who use these terms devolve into petulant tirades when they 'powerful' African teams beat their Euro teams. Apparently Rob Stone of FS had a meltdown after Poland lost to Senegal today

Re: Damning article on racist media re African players
The oyinbo masters defend are beging to roll out
Re: Damning article on racist media re African players
Thats a bogus / useless article. There is nothing racist about saying Senegal have pace and power. African should not be claiming racism at everything.
Also it is true that African teams are tactically and technically inept. It does not mean Africans are less intelligent. And you cannot argue with the results.

Stone is a professional and I find it hard to believe he'd be any kind of upset that Poland lost. Surprised maybe, upset no.
Any video of this?

Re: Damning article on racist media re African players
I watching espn Fc and they said the same sterotypical shyt.
Re: Damning article on racist media re African players
It is racist when a defined racial group of people are stereotyped with particular trait. That is exactly what this is. If you cannot see that as racist characterization then perhaps are you agreeing with the commentators that certain races have solely those traits? The point is that all persons, regardless of race, are in fact imbued with similar characteristics as humans.sayala wrote:Thats a bogus / useless article.

Re: Damning article on racist media re African players
See how unintelligent you are , these African teams , the managers at the worldcup are from where? Let me help you.

Re: Damning article on racist media re African players
Best way to shut them up is to beat them silly. Obviously the love affair between Europe and African players is dampening somewhat. What with West Ham seeking to remove all of them from their books etc. Best way is to start trouncing them once again.
Re: Damning article on racist media re African players
Not that i disagree with what you are saying but we could use the same analogy vis-a-vis situation most africans in diaspora find themselves in regarding career prospects. Either you are super brilliant for them to be forced to accept you or you get nothing whilst most white kids all they have to do is show the desire to do something and that will be enough for them to prosper. i am not saying they dont need to work hard to accomplish their goals but their hard work is likely to be noticed and appreciated as compared to one for africans.airwolex wrote:Best way to shut them up is to beat them silly.

With all that said.Whether we beat them or not, that language they use must change because its wrong and shouldnt be tied to how we are playing against them.

Re: Damning article on racist media re African players
Maybe so, but the best way forward is beating them. We have been mediocre for a while now. The likes of Egypt and Tunisia and even Cameroon have abysmal records in the WC. The rest are just a bit better.bk-one wrote:Not that i disagree with what you are saying but we could use the same analogy vis-a-vis situation most africans in diaspora find themselves in regarding career prospects.

Re: Damning article on racist media re African players
If some of these guys defending whites were kept out of an exclusive club, while white couples kept getting in. They would probably provide the excuse for the club, that repairs must be happening, at their favorite area of the club.
Get up and smell the coffee, there is a factual history.
Even though the worst part of it is in the past, but the generation of whites that lived through segregation, and witnessed blacks giving up their seats when they came into a bus are just beginning to die slowly. What those commentators did on FS, was a national embarrassment, and seriously someone ought to go on vacation at least, for that. At least pretend...

Re: Damning article on racist media re African players
Enugu, the powers of brainwashing can be seen in how many people regurgitate what they hear in the media and think they are actually spouting their own ideas. I see that here a lot and when I talk to some of my EPL addicted friends.Enugu II wrote:

Re: Damning article on racist media re African players
That ‘media cliche’ is getting worse (especially on ITV). It is slightly unnerving to think that Roy Keane and Bilic are ‘football people’ with the nonsense they are spouted this week. The icing on the cake was the racist tweet by Lord Sugar last night about the Senegal Team and Marbella. That took it to the next level.cic old boy wrote:Enugu, the powers of brainwashing can be seen in how many people regurgitate what they hear in the media and think they are actually spouting their own ideas.
