Player Rodrigo Bentancur

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I prefer him in that position than Bissouma now tbh. Wide range of passes as he can play fairly well off both feet and never really jittery under pressure. We looked better when he came on against Palace as well at the weekend. Still a class player. Deceptively a good mover as well.
 
If the ban starts from this week then the games he will miss will be:
Man City (A)
Fulham (H)
Bou (A)
Chelsea (H)
Southampton (A)
Man United (Cup QF)
Liverpool (H)

Need Bissouma to stay fit for this entire run or we'll find ourselves in big trouble. Atleast Bentancur can play both Europa league games during this run. We might get to see Archie Gray play midfield in some of these games too so big opportunity for him.
 
I'm not saying he should or shouldn't get a ban... If he does, then so be it...
But when THIS happened pretty much around the same time;
And NOTHING is done, then it smacks of double standards, or someone being paid off to push it under the carpet!

Racism is racism, no ..?
Regardless of the colour or ethnicity of the target...

...same as there's blatant racism, as opposed to a lack of education associated with an admittedly ill thought, throwaway comment (in Bentancur's case)
...compared to a song sung where the singer(s) of that song know ALL the words... have no doubt sung it before, so must know EXACTLY the type of song they're singing, and it's meaning...
Or did he just make it up as he went along??

Or maybe there IS such a thing as bad racism and Good racism after all?!

Good grief, people get less for maiming a player.
He's jinxed, when you take into consideration the time he's been out with serious injuries because someone went in to hurt him.
:(

There is only being human and all humans are a mixture of good and bad.

Good people sometimes do bad things and bad people sometimes do good things.

All racism is wrong.

I don't personally believe that Rodrigo Bentancur believes in racial supremacy.

However; his choice of words will have offended many people.

Bentancur's apology seemed sincere and heartfelt to me. I doubt he would ever make a similar error of judgement.

I sincerely hope any punishment is proportionate.
