You have some good points I saw in the past I think but like today you just lack or blows out of proportion. Just for the hattrick thing, Son would not know what to do if he got one today. Was he going to bow 3 times?Dude give up.
It's hard telling white people how to feel about something they can never relate to. Also a lot of the feelings towards Son is of course racist but its often so subconscious that people do not classify it as racist. Like racism comes in forms of institutionalism and our mental subconscious that as a white male in particular you never have to deal with.
the article below does a good job of half explaining the situation with son.The Superstar Hiding in Plain Sight (Published 2019)
Persistent stereotypes about Asian players obscure the quality of Tottenham Hotspur’s Son Heung-min, a star by any metric.www.nytimes.com
the racist abuse that Son has gotten from everton fans and in general how people have seen son as a cry baby is just ridiculous. for me I can never be a tottenham fan because of it. A lot of people are outraged by son crying but do not care that literally their own player gets racially abused.
maybe in western culture, people have forgotten how to show empathy or that empathy can only be shown when someone dies. but how Son reacted is for me, is more manly and humane and a show of strength than ever. fuck what all these people think in all honesty.
Again tonight Son scored two goals against belgrade and was SUBBED off to prevent him from scoring ahattrick. Son is the most subbed player in tottenham despite showing a tendency to score late goals. Imagine Kane being on two goals - he would never dare be subbed all together.
Why dont you go watch the replay.Go back a few pages and look at the images that Guido 🇺🇦 posted..... Aurier is nowhere near Gomez when he plants his leg.
Why dont you go watch the replay.
Can't believe this guy told me to go see an image when I'm seeing the fucking replay.
Aren't you a day late now for this? Time to move on and rock on with the team again unless what you want is running a page arguingWhy dont you go watch the replay.

Dude give up.

BBC News - Son Heung-min: Tottenham forward 'really sorry' for Andre Gomes incident
Son 'really sorry' for Gomes incident
Tottenham forward Son Heung-min says he is "really sorry" for his tackle which led to Everton midfielder Andre Gomes' horrific ankle injury.www.bbc.co.uk
No one here brought up sons ethnicity.
He does eat Dogs though
Haha yeah,read those.Its a conspiracy so we do well.There are some shocking comments from the usual forums regarding Son and the whole tackle incident.
Won't name check them.
Conspiracy theories and paranoia abound.
I Love this man so much
Full Of KoqWould you FOK him though
Everton fan here. Obviously I'm gutted about Gomes but if he's forgiven Son, and they've discussed it in private, that's fair enough. I also don't get the Coleman hate. Coleman is a nice bloke, it's the kind of thing he would do, but apparently this means he's not fit to be our captain anymore.
ETA: and some of our stupid fans seem to have forgotten that Son is KOREAN, not Chinese.
