Aren't you getting bored trying to bait me on your main account Spursmeds? What are we on now, 150 attempts to get me to react in about 5 months but I still haven't?
I don't care who you addressed institutional racism is a serious problem in this country and as you said this is the least racist country, so it's going to be worse in other western European countries. I tell you what, we should start dwelling less on racism in this country, when black players aren't racially abused for missing a penalty or stopped because the car they are driving is deemed too good for them as well as a host of other things.
Instead of talking about the black players that were racial abused and the action that the government we've been talking about this image and headline and that's because of you. You brought that up and talked about a whole country being slurred which is your perception, this is what you've chosen to 'dwell' on and by doing that and saying the other things that you've said you are trivialising the racial abuse of the players.
True, they were racists. A lot of Hungary and the Eastern block countries are sadly, i don't think they'll ever change. But NOT the whole country, which that headline implied.
Dont follow what you mean mate.
Yea im sure it wasnt meant as if all Hungarian men women and children are racists. That would be really stupid. The newspaper just panders to it audience.
Like most tabloids.....
You're the one dwelling on it, I was just offering a more positive outlook to Goat. I certainly didn't say we should ignore anything, and when do you ever offer positivity on anything? You're completely obsessed with spreading doom and gloom all the time, much like that hread in which everyone who shared your views were practically willing there to be more racism than there was. I think that's abhorrent as should anybody who is against racism. That's twisted, again like you are because you're trying to maniuplate this argument into something else. The truth doesn't apear to matter at all, just how you can frame something to pat yourself on the back. Well it's backfired hasn't it? Just like in that thread.
The way you worded it mate that's all.
That's the positive outlook you offered, East Asia is as racist Hungary which makes the whole notion of institutional racism ridiculous, we live in the least racist country on earth so just accept it, don't complain because it's better than those places is your argument. No thanks to sticking my head in the sand like you do. That's why you put the Brexit thread on ignore, you couldn't bare to think about the car crash you voted for. There's no roses to smell when you're not afforded the same rights and treatment because of your colour.
You didn't make any positive point and the slur was a perceived one. You can complain about what you like I'm just saying black players were racial abused during the game which was clear abuse and you want to rant about a headline you perceive as racist against all Hungarians while not being outraged at the money chants at all, instead choosing to talk about racism is exaggerated in this country.
Blah blah blah I can't even be bothered to read all of this rant. You lost the debate mate. Sorry.
You just appreciate what's good in the world like... the toilet thread, what a happy thread that was and you were lovely and positive!
Thing is because it such a sunny lovely day the man who posted 20 times about racism in this thread alone. Will not be able to reply as he will be too busy enjoying himself.Hilarious to see PowPow get thoroughly ended. Will take him decades to come back from that one. Well done MVP on winning the debate and doing it in a classy manner. Anybody with an ounce of common sense and decency will agree. And you didn't even to announce your victory, such is the classiness of your behaviour. I approve.
Biggest ending since Australia beat American Samoa 31-0 in the Fifa 2002 World Cup qualifiers!
Also, read this in an article and I thoroughly agree:
"In any normal workplace, if an employer thinks someone is going to be abused as they go about their job, something would be done to ensure it couldn’t happen. For some reason football almost self-deselects from the standards of behaviour we expect in other employment scenarios – and that’s got to stop. If my son or daughter was playing for England in Budapest, I would expect the football authorities to have a duty of care to protect them.
Prevention has to come first. And if that means countries that can’t guarantee player safety are not allowed to participate in tournaments, then we have to go that far. You can’t ban countries in perpetuity but a decision has then to be taken as to when it is appropriate to let them back in, just as there was after fan violence led to European bans for English clubs in the 1980s."
That's me out of this thread, having had my final say. But once more...well done MVP. You the true...well....MVP!
