Mole_Toonfan Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I see Nasri has joined into this by claiming Yaya is underrated because he's African. As f*cking if man for starters everyone and their mother wanked over Drogba and last time i checked he's African. And besides he's not underrated anyway, he's rated just fine.

You'd argue overrated if it had to be one or the other But like you say, he's rated just fine really. Some of the shit that gets pulled through racism is unbelievable, like.

The College Dropout Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 IIRC there were already split and Bridge was at Man City at the time. Former team mate then and an international team mate at the time. Terry was also married at the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 The best African players technique is slightly under-rated. He's not directly African but Benteke scored an overhead kick the other day and all I heard was about his power, this was after his goal. Same thing Yaya gets. Talk all day about his power and athleticism but truthfully his footballing skills are under-rated. This year he's scoring and assisting like a prime Gerrard/Lampard with quality finishes/final balls but you'll sooner hear about his athleticism. I wouldn't call it racism. Just lazy.

Dr.Spaceman Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 If you look beyond the headline it kinda makes sense. FIFA have implemented all recommendations set out by the task force. Projects are still ongoing, they haven't declared a victory whatsoever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deuce Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 According to research conducted by RunRepeat and published by the Professional Footballers’ Association, the union for players in England and Wales, the difference in the way European soccer commentators describe black and white players is stark. Documenting an issue players have long bemoaned, the researchers found that broadcast commentators were not only far more likely to praise white players for their intelligence, leadership qualities and versatility, they were also substantially more likely to criticize black players for what they regarded as the absence of those attributes. Instead, the study found that nonwhite players tend to receive praise for their physical qualities: what Romelu Lukaku, the Inter Milan striker, has referred to as the “pace and power element.” Black players were four times more likely than their white counterparts to be discussed in terms of their strength, and seven times more likely to be praised for their speed. Those were not the only differences. White players, according to the study, were more likely to be credited with an admirable work ethic. Black players’ performances, even when stellar, were more likely to be attributed to a burst of good form. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/30/sports/soccer/soccer-racism-broadcasting.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapo Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 I thought that was just a N-O conspiracy theory according to some on here. Clear as day, particularly during the World Cup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
