The College Dropout Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 I hope you all understand that the statement "black players often get labelled with X even if Y is prominent or X isn't particularly relevant" Does not mean "white players are never labelled with X".

healthyaddiction Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 I hope you all understand that the statement "black players often get labelled with X even if Y is prominent or X isn't particularly relevant" Does not mean "white players are never labelled with X". Similarly because black players are always labelled as X, doesn't mean a black player doesn't have those attributes. So quit jumping down everyone's throat and claiming racism every fucking time someone says a black player is fast/strong. It's really tiresome and undermines an actual issue.

Guest firetotheworks Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Sprinters, players with that physique liable to get a thigh strain... comparison to Usain Bolt..... Name a well known white sprinter. Name any sprinter more well known than Usain Bolt. Deny that Valencia has a sprinter's physique. Exactly what's the problem? LOL I shouldn't evem respond to you, you originally said Valencia who hasn't played for West Ham for about a year. Usain Bolt is 6'5, Antonio 5'9. Average height of successful sprinters is 6 foot.. 5'9 is on the shortest end for a sprinter and not exactly typical. Antonio has a short stocky build - no he doesn't have a sprinters physique. He looks too chubby. His physique is much closer to Eden Hazard's. I don't think you'll hear Hazard compared to Usain Bolt. This comparison came about because Antonio lad was running and pulled his thigh muscle. I made a mistake. Antonio at West Ham, Valencia at West Ham, Antonio Valencia. Mistakes happen, I've no problem admitting that. If you honestly think Antonio and Hazard have comparable physiques though, I dunno what to say. Antonio definitely has what I would describe as a sprinter's physique, irrespective of height. I see absolutely no problem with saying that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

healthyaddiction Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Antonio is not 5'9. Not a chance. I think he saw Antonio is 1.8m on Wikipedia and did a google search of 1.8m in feet and got 5.9 feet and thought that was 5 feet 9 inches. It isn't it's 5ft 11.

xLiaaamx Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 TCD Is getting the conversion wrong. He's 5.9 foot, but that not feet and inches, its Feet as a decimal. He's more like 5 foot 11 inches. Welp, Giggs'ed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So quit jumping down everyone's throat and claiming racism every f***ing time someone says a black player is fast/strong. It's really tiresome and undermines an actual issue. I've literally never claimed racism, i've never said that word in relation to this. I'll save the big bad R-word for more pressing issues. I've said it's tiresome when commentators bang on about power / beast / whatever when it is not relevant or other skills are more prominent to black players. Akin to a hard working player not getting the plaudits they deserve around skill and technique because of a focus on work-rate. I'm never ever going to let anyone tell me what I should and shouldn't talk about in regards to anything to do with black people. Never. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Bailey Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Think Harry Kane is the first player since Shearer retired that I can genuinely see beating Shearers goal scoring record - if he stays at Tottenham he'll do it Agree, the lad is top class on his day, which is more often than not. I think he will move abroad myself. \I can't see him staying at Spurs, I think this team will break up after they win nowt again this season. It's whether he ends up at a Manchester club or in Spain for me. Hope it is Spain personally (for England as well as protecting Shearers record.)
