FOX SPORTS CTITIZED FOR RACIST TV COMMENTARY ABOUT FALCONS

[kolinzo]

Inferiority complex of black folks. So because a white guy agrees with your view it legitimizes your opinion. SMH.

When Nigeria was killing it in soccer nobody was worried about the commentary. Nigeria was praised all over the world for being skillful, pace, and intelligent. But of course they praised the white coach who took them to that level (as he should). But when we are playing like headless chicken and these commentators hide their criticism in "they have pace...bla blah blah..." you are mad? SMH.

My friend, you need to rid yourself of your slave mentality. Your white massas aren’t always right and their comments shouldn’t define our abilities. We have every right to be indignant when they lace their commentary with racism. You might find this hard to believe but not everyone is an Uncle Tom like you

Clutching at straws again weren't ya?! You are suffering from inferiority complex and you think I'm the one who needs to rid myself of mental slavery? You have every right to be indignant just like I have every right to point your inferiority complex out. When you think the whole world is against you and you are begging for their cooperation tells me how inferior you are. Sorry, I'm not on that boat and I refuse to get on that boat with you and your cohorts. The day you stop seeking attention from your masters is the day you emancipate yourself from mental slavery.

You’ve got your head stuck so far up your massa’s behind you can’t even reason logically. I know exactly what boat you’re on; the one on which you think if you keep quiet long enough, massa will relent and throw you a bone. Well, that’s a boat that’s going nowhere so, you better get off it fast


Cheers.

There is nothing logical about inferiority complex. Your post is full of fundamental attribution error.

It used to be ESPN. It is now fox. I actually filed a complaint against julie foudy.

That inbred is a racist. I abused her on social media to no end. stupid f'ugly twat!

you aren't the brightest, sure you didn't abuse the wrong person?

Nigerians rushed Jenny's twitter page, made her cry, she wasn't even the one calling the game.

Unlike you, i dont indulge in marijuana and can recall exactly the twat i berated. But nice try skunk!!! Come for my people, i'll exchange fire whatever way necessary

Imagine being proud you abused a woman on the internet.

Dont be a half wit and keep it pushing..

Never thought I’d say this, but I find British commentators a lot more respectful than these American commentators. Any opportunity to get a dig in, they take.

Yes, it sure didn’t help that our girls couldn’t string 4 passes together, but I’ve been watching games a long time and listening to commentary. There is a code of conduct when talking about teams. Yes, they may not be as good as the opponents, but you’re supposed to be gracious and respectful.

I agree. They have no respect for the fans of African teams that might be watching. I actually watch it on mute.

i am going to wire alexis lalas and that useless woman that sat next to aluko, with some English language..i done forget my bigpokey password sef

Alexis love African teams. Please leave him alone, he was our only fan during the mens worldcup when others were saying we Naija will implode.

There is nothing wrong with pace and power! Our 1994 team had just that plus a lot more in the bag, the pace and power tore Bulgaria apart!, nearly Argentina, at the 1996 Olympics, we had that as well plus some skillful players

You this man. Will you ever open your mind?

luckily for you, you are unemployed otherwise there wouldn't be enough time in the day to 'exchange fire' with people who diss detriot.

Fox's "coverage" is absolutely abysmal. For every game involving Nigeria, they only ever used three words to describe the attributes of the Nigerian players: "speed", "power", and "pace". The stupidity of the commentary did not even dawn on them when 5'3 Ordega was Nigeria's most threatening player. She is not exactly a body builder is she?!

There is actually a Twitter thread here about an extraordinarily racist bit of commentary on FS1:

FOR THE AFRICAN MEN...


...their favorite words are "naïve" and "physical" (meaning rough and dirty).

As for the Dennerby comment, I was floored when I heard it, seeing as the culmination of a terrible practice Nigeria had adopted for decades. That is the practice of bringing in barely qualified foreign coaches and retaining even with superior working environment compared to indigenous coaches. The debate over foreign or indigenous raged on in this site for decades and, I'm sure in other places where Nigerians gather.

Among other reasons, those opposed to mindless employment of these foreign coaches warned that Nigeria cannot gain national or race respect if it continued to treat foreign coaches like royalty. Currently, there are threads in this forum calling the unconditional retention of Rohr, AFCON performance be damned. There was a similar call to retain Swedish (what's it with Nigerians and Swedes?) after the worst WC performance in Nigerian history under the thinly-disguised argument of continuity. Yet, better performing Nigerians are routinely treated with contempt. This Dennerby episode is a regrettable proof of what we've been preaching against.

As sad and unfortunate as I find these stereotypes, I can't help but wonder why it does not trigger our Football administrators. What would it take for them to really go all out to ensure that our teams are well prepared for tournaments? There are finer points of the game that we repeatedly fail to address and it inevitably manifests in some awkward display. Somehow, it always seems that those in charge of our football assume that our athleticism is enough to overwhelm the opposition.

I would love for these commentators to be respectful, but more than that, I wish for African Football administrators to wake up and give it all it takes. I mean, it's football, not rocket science.

Nothing will happen. There will be no preparation for the future and we will keep bringing teams that lump the ball forward, surrender possession and hope for the best. My grandma who casually watches football keep asking me “why are we giving the other team the ball?” Says it all for me.

Funny thing about Nigerian football is they come with the same attitude and mentality every 4 years and expect a different outcome, some in here have the same tired ready made excuse for failure, watch after the ladies world cup, the big nations start preparation for the next, straight back to the drawing board, meanwhile, our African brethren will open up the camp 2 months before the big competition starts and hope for the best with their white coaches!

but then again, i always say, we cannot separate African football from the way the countries are run! the football is a reflection of society at large, all the negatives we complain about everyday about the way the government do things, watch the football, you will see everything!

That pretty much sums it up,"if you fail to prepare,prepare to fail" but they don't want to hear that so they do nothing and pray when they realise nothing comes without hard work!
