Premier League 2019-20 part II

Alisson and Klopp take home the FIFA “best” awards for keeper and manager. VVD loses out to Messi for best player award.

 

[YNWA14]

It's too bad that Modric won the Ballon d'Or last year or I'd feel a lot more confident about van Dijk winning it. Would definitely be nice to see him win the award; very deservedly.

Still, Messi is not undeserving. Congrats to him on this one.

Good news! The wankers who attacked Ozil and Kola have been arrest and charged with attempted robbery!

Who wants Spurs CL spot?

I mean, if Balotelli got in trouble for his 'racist' thing before I'm not sure how Silva escapes punishment here.

Bernardo Silva in racism storm over tweet aimed at Man City teammate

I don’t really see a problem with it if the part where Mendy took it well is accurate.

 

[phisherman]

How is that racist?

How is that racist?

I don't think a lot of people actually know what racism is anymore the way it's thrown around about almost everything. I feel like it's almost insulting to people that have had to actually endure real racism.

That said, again if Balotelli got in trouble for this, then I don't see how Silva escapes some kind of punishment.

The Balotelli post isn't racist either. Bunch of snowflakes out there.

You don't see what's racist in comparing your black teammate to a chocolate candy mascot which is a known caricature of an african child with it's own checkered past? I mean the candy is chocolate and called Conguitos (an ode to the Congo) and the caricature used to have a spear. Really? Nothing there? Can't see it?

His intentions don't matter. That he grew up seeing this and joking about it in Spanish/Portuguese cultural means he isn't malicious. It doesn't make it non racist.

So in what way is he discriminating, showing prejudice, inciting hatred or imposing superiority over anyone with this?

Do you think the mascot is an issue itself?

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

oh christ al-f***ing-mighty

 

[bleedblue1223]

The problem is don't make a joke like that public. If it's a genuine joke with Mendy, you should be aware enough to know that it's more of a private joke.

The mascot itself should be more of the issue though.

I do agree with everything you said here. I don’t think the joke itself was all that bad as Mendy found it funny too.

 

[hatterson]

There's plenty of things you can joke about in private that aren't appropriate to joke about in public.

Is the Wendy's logo racist towards Gingers?

This is perfectly on brand for you, and I'm more than happy to find myself on the opposing side of this argument from you

So you like being a hypocrite? Wendy's and Black Dude Candy figure aren't racist or discriminatory towards their races.

 

[bleedblue1223]

Looking at the Conguitos mascots, they have the same red lips on a white version of it, and they also have black and white versions without the red lips.

The black one with the red lips definitely appears bad on the surface, but in reality it's probably just more of a poorly done mascot, since the white one is the exact same way.

 

[VEGASKING]

I really hope Ginger being a race catches on.

 

[YNWA14]

The way people treat gingers they would never be given a recognized status.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

That posters even doubt it’s racist speaks volumes to the larger issue at hand. Sad. His intention however I don’t believe were, so he’s just a knucklehead IMO and will learn from this.

Or maybe it's the people that are acting like it was racist that are the issue.

Sorry we don’t get to decide what offends each race.

Do you know who John Barnes is?

You also absolutely are trying to decide what is offensive in this situation so that comment is a bit...hypocritical.
