Bloody unbelievable and a load blue blistering barnacles upon his silly brain.
It would be a "mistake" to punish Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva for a tweet about team-mate Benjamin Mendy, says boss Pep Guardiola.
"There are many situations with white people where a cartoon will look similar," Guardiola said. "
Guardiola said: "Bernardo is one of the most lovely people I've met in my life. He speaks four or five languages - that's the best way to understand how open-minded he is.
"One of his best friends is Mendy. He's like a brother. He took a picture of Benjamin when he was young and related it with this cartoon, quite similar for the image."
"One of his best friends is Mendy. He's like a brother. He took a picture of Benjamin when he was young and related it with this cartoon, quite similar for the image."
As I mentioned previously, I'm not surprised Pep will rationalize it that way given the normalization of racism across Europe.Bigpokey24 wrote:"One of his best friends is Mendy. He's like a brother.

He wanted for the other players to be make racial jokes at Mendy's expense behind his back. SMH.King Futcha wrote: Amen brother, Amen.

guess this is not racist either
Like certain ex players of certain colour getting top plush jobs at the expense of other colours without any experience whatsoever! that should be the focus, they are looking for cheap scapegoats! we call them out!txj wrote:I would like to look beyond this issue to comment about much deeper manifestations of racism.

Don't get me wrong, Silva was stupid and will deservedly be punished, in some form or the other.
Then what?
But the fight against racism cannot be focused on the lowest common denominators of words, symbols, tweets, etc, when the real manifestations of the issue is much deeper.
I am tired of the uproar about words and black-faces and all. Not saying they shouldn't be condemned, but how about we reserve the biggest outrage for the deeper manifestations of this cancer....
I ain't tired at all. If it was a Jewish or LGBT target, there'd be hell to pay. Heck, it might even have meant an end to his professional career.txj wrote:I would like to look beyond this issue to comment about much deeper manifestations of racism. By that I refer to the institutional kind.

Institutionally speaking we already have Kick it Out as one strategy to tackle the problem. So an incidence like this is a welcome opportunity to test the effect of it's campaigning.kalani JR wrote:But this sort of link to what he's saying, everyone is always focused and outraged by the incidents rather the problem itself.cchinukw wrote:I ain't tired at all.

Kick Out is an organisation set up to focus on the problem strategically. Notwithstanding, each time there is an incident, it is an opportunity like the organisation has done, to engage with the football family and also flex some legal muscle.King Futcha wrote:how do we focus on the problem itself without focusing on the incidents?kalani JR wrote:But this sort of link to what he's saying, everyone is always focused and outraged by the incidents rather the problem itself.cchinukw wrote:I ain't tired at all.

Not saying there shouldn't be a focus on the incident but I think the overall conversation has been besieged and prejudiced by club and footballing loyalties. Look at what people are posting here for instance (self included).King Futcha wrote:how do we focus on the problem itself without focusing on the incidents?kalani JR wrote:But this sort of link to what he's saying, everyone is always focused and outraged by the incidents rather the problem itself.cchinukw wrote:I ain't tired at all.
