Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I'm guessing he wasn't meant to text him calling him the token black guy, like. Harsh to just make it immediately public, but also "unfortunately phrased" and "didn't mean it that way" dont really fly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 I'm probably way off the mark, but just going back to that Jim Beglin quote, does this mean things like, "Gaelic flair" when it comes to describing an exciting French footballer, "typical German efficiency" when it comes to describing a well drilled Germany performance, etc are also now frowned upon?

Dancing Brave Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford said he received "at least 70 racial slurs" on social media following Wednesday's Europa League final loss to Villarreal. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/57263805 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Horrific, but I assume that happens to every black player after nearly every match. It’s good that it’s getting reported now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazza ladra Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 And these 70 slurs are coming primarily from fans of his club? I assume it's mostly disgruntled Man United supporters.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Guess when you lose it’s your fans, when you win it’s the other fans. When you say something in public, it’s fans of anyone and no one. My assumption is that it’s routine on social media in any of those scenarios. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 It really is grim stuff. Sky have doubled down on their reporting of racist incidents, which is routinely met with people moaning about it being rammed down their throat. I really don't know how you solve it, perhaps bring in ID verification on social media short term, to clamp down on the internet hard men spouting off. Long term it's all about education.
