We are talking about a player who just passed away. I don’t agree with his opinions and many of the things that he did. However, in regards to your patronising shit in a thread like this, you’re talking from a position of privilege, a position of someone that didn’t grow up in a complex country with a long history of ethnic wars. We see this type of behaviour from people in the Balkan still today, nevertheless 20-30 years ago when war was still ongoing. Otherwise, congratulations on a good and sensible post.
