Not supprised one bit.
But do you name your team "Hitler's XI"?How do they know if a team doesn't pick black players because they are black? Are those teams named "Apartheid"?
I have Masuaku and Calvert-Lewin but I might as well had Cresswell and Bamford.
Yep. Just a pun on Anal Cunt and Conte, I named it AnalConte. Pretty sure they just have a dumb brute force algorithm that goes through the database searching for specific words. I assume you can outwit it if you like but it seems like quite a fuss for a racist thing hardly anyone notice.Think RocketRonny had his team name changed. Nothing racist involved either.
What's any of that got to do with anything? The whole article, as made pretty clear by the headline, is about racist language used openly in team names.How do they know if a team doesn't pick black players because they are black? Are those teams named "Apartheid"?

And our TFC league name has to be changed for having cock in the nameThink RocketRonny had his team name changed. Nothing racist involved either.
The second tweet mentioned "segregationist" teams, how they determined which teams were purposefully segregationist they didn't say.What's any of that got to do with anything? The whole article, as made pretty clear by the headline, is about racist language used openly in team names.
The tweet say "in addition to this". Which seems a bit unnecessary as it's not determinable if it was made with racist intention. They don't specify if these were the same teams who had highly offensive names.But do you name your team "Hitler's XI"?
Sorry, I missed that bit, but come on, a team never having a single black player doesn’t happen unintentionallyThe second tweet mentioned "segregationist" teams, how they determined which teams were purposefully segregationist they didn't say.
It was probably determined by the team name being "Aryans" or whatever. Bit vague
Sure if it's never over several seasons. But some just pick a team at the start and then barely switch players.Sorry, I missed that bit, but come on, a team never having a single black player doesn’t happen unintentionally
Maybe they read it asLol, my team name has to be changed. It was “Son the Jewels” which was really a dumb name anyway, just because I like Run the Jewels. I don’t have a clue how that’s offensive, but apparently it is.
I imagine because it has 'jew' in it and they just banned any team that contained 'jew' to get rid of all the antisemitic ones. You could probably still have 'Son the Jules' like Jules RimetLol, my team name has to be changed. It was “Son the Jewels” which was really a dumb name anyway, just because I like Run the Jewels.
