Re: A lesson to all UK born naija players
We have had a history of players missing chances and being abused for missing chances and not because of where they come from. Ayigbeni's miss against Korea didn't stop him from playing for the Eagles.maceo4 wrote: ↑Mon Jul 12, 2021 4:12 pmDid you miss Ighalo's abuse after he missed the chance vs Argentina?

Bros, not to get in between your conversation with BigTurkey but the two situations are not similar at all.
Kidnapping is a criminal offense typically targeting people who can pay. Mikel's father was a victim of crime.
The kid being abused is being abused for being black.
The fallacious argument of "Wronger than wrong" should be reserved for BigTurkey.
My point is that you brought up KIDNAPPING like it was as a result of unsatisfactory performance on the football pitch. IT WAS NOT!
Your false equivalence was pointed out to you but you are still going on about abuse.
Athletes get abused by fans... it is a sad part of sports.
Some take the abuse further and make it a racial thing.

A mural honouring footballer Marcus Rashford has been vandalised with graffiti following England's defeat to Italy in the Euro 2020 final.

I bet Dessers and Akpoguma wish they had chosen their birth countries instead of Nigeria.

Re: A lesson to all UK born naija players
Uncle, you are the one making the false equivalence. Big belle Pokey's initial post suggests Saka would not have been subject to such abuse had he chosen to represent Nigeria instead. Maceo has shown you instances where that's not the case.

Abuse will happen when things don't go the fans way and they can single out someone to blame, but is it really a lesson? Will UK born naija players be shielded from abuse by choosing Nigeria instead? Of course they won't, but they might actually be exposed to more wahala which was the point of bringing up things like kidnapping that have happened to our own footballers and clearly doesn't happen in the UK...Athletes get abused by fans... it is a sad part of sports.

Boris Johnson and Priti Patel are nobody's favourite government officials but I must have missed this.
Do a quick search on google and you will read so many articles about them saying the fans have the right to boo their own national team
a few weeks ago she said this
Priti Patel says fans have right to boo England team for ‘gesture politics’ of taking the knee

this is the same woman who is against immigrantsFootball fans have a right to boo the England team for “taking the knee” in protest at racism, the home secretary has said.
Priti Patel said the anti-racism protest associated with the Black Lives Matter movement amounted to “gesture politics” and dodged a question about whether she would boo herself.

But no footballer has been subject to kidnapping because they missed a chance for Naijaria or played in a game that had a bad outcome.

And I started off talking about not getting in between his exchanges with BigTurkey.
Just that responding that we did worse is plain wrong.
We are not different when it comes to abusing players... but not to the point of equating the crime of kidnapping to a sports-related incident.

Re: A lesson to all UK born naija players
European football's governing body Uefa condemned the "disgusting racist abuse", adding: "We stand by the players and the FA's call for the strongest possible punishments."
On Monday, League Two side Leyton Orient said they had banned a fan for three years in connection with the abuse.
"The supporter in question's actions on Twitter were alerted to the club late last night, and action has been taken swiftly to issue a banning order," the club said.

Re: A lesson to all UK born naija players
But I didn't say 'footballers were subject of kidnapping b/c they missed a chance for Naijaria', that's your interpretation. I've broken down why I brought up kidnapping, to counter the initial post which was trying to say these players are better off choosing SE b/c they could get abused in the UK. Well hello, they can get abused in Naijaria too, AND on top of that they can be subject to much worse than abuse as we've seen happen to our footballers from JJ's money being stolen by naija banks for daring to invest in the country, to Mikel's pops being kidnapped twice, to Ighalo's house being broken into and threatened to be set on fire etc...all of which are also 'lesson learned' as far as picking Naijaria. The grass is not always greener...Cellular wrote: ↑Mon Jul 12, 2021 5:05 pmYou brought up kidnapping.maceo4 wrote: ↑Mon Jul 12, 2021 4:47 pm

Re: A lesson to all UK born naija players
what you just wrote makes zero sense. Also you are clueless when it comes to this topic , and that is why you added 90k, post reviews, smart white man etc you included those so it seems like you wrote enough ....just come out and say you find it difficult to express the thoughts in your head in words. there is no harm in admitting that you lack critical thinking skills.kawawa wrote: ↑Mon Jul 12, 2021 6:38 pmHey Einstein (probably should not cynically call you a smart white man).

You can do what some do, just read and browse. Stop posting hanging sentences and thinking folks won't call you out . This isn't a personal attack , just observing your major intellectual error in this thread . Now why do you want people to turn a blind eye?

Re: A lesson to all UK born naija players
do not be so limited, escobar was shot and killed , Palacious brother was murders, ozil and one assanal left back were robbed on a bike, etc... you ae totally comparing racism to robbery etc talk about diggingmaceo4 wrote: ↑Mon Jul 12, 2021 6:12 pmBut I didn't say 'footballers were subject of kidnapping b/c they missed a chance for Naijaria', that's your interpretation. I've broken down why I brought up kidnapping, to counter the initial post which was trying to say these players are better off choosing SE b/c they could get abused in the UK. Well hello, they can get abused in Naijaria too, AND on top of that they can be subject to much worse than abuse as we've seen happen to our footballers from JJ's money being stolen by naija banks for daring to invest in the country, to Mikel's pops being kidnapped twice, to Ighalo's house being broken into and threatened to be set on fire etc...all of which are also 'lesson learned' as far as picking Naijaria. The grass is not always greener...Cellular wrote: ↑Mon Jul 12, 2021 5:05 pmYou brought up kidnapping.maceo4 wrote: ↑Mon Jul 12, 2021 4:47 pm
Bros, you keep focusing on one part of my argument when you seem to agree with the main point of my argument as you said:
You said some make it a racial thing, do we not make it a tribal thing? Abuse is abuse period! This is not some kind of lesson to UK born naija players which is the point of this thread. Abuse will happen when things don't go the fans way and they can single out someone to blame, but is it really a lesson? Will UK born naija players be shielded from abuse by choosing Nigeria instead? Of course they won't, but they might actually be exposed to more wahala which was the point of bringing up things like kidnapping that have happened to our own footballers and clearly doesn't happen in the UK...Athletes get abused by fans... it is a sad part of sports.
I didn't argue with you about abuse.
But no footballer has been subject to kidnapping because they missed a chance for Naijaria or played in a game that had a bad outcome.
No player or sportsperson is shielded from abuse.

Re: A lesson to all UK born naija players
I'm not supporting the racist fans by any means, even putting Saka in that position was cruel. He's 19 for goodness sakes. Yet if you're non-white and you're going to a white country and you're not expecting racism, you are honestly fooling yourself. It's just how things are.
Re: A lesson to all UK born naija players
Of course we can all pretend we are geniuses on the internet. Why should I be exempt from thinking I possess critical thinking skills like you do. I too I’m entitled to an inflated, chest thumping opinion of my intellect. Not just you.Bigpokey24 wrote: ↑Mon Jul 12, 2021 7:03 pmwhat you just wrote makes zero sense.

There is nothing wrong in your outrage about racism towards the players but thinking that playing for Nigeria solves that issue for an English footballer of Nigerian descent is down right fickle and shall I say not what I expected from such a deep philosophical mind. I have said my piece. Time to go actually use the few neurons that have not whittled away as a result of this encounter.
Re: A lesson to all UK born naija players
Saka is a professional footballer. He was not put in any unusual position. England did not lose because of Saka's saved penalty. In my opnion, they lost because they had only one shot on goal trying to defend a lone goal lead for 88 minutes. That Rohr type negative football.
