BERNANDO BANNED

1 game ban for his racist tweet to mendy and a £50,000 fine, is this punishment enough?

Feels like hes got very lucky.

Though this is more of a punishment than what bulgaria got.

So...does Mendy look like this character...?

I think flores at Watford looks like Gregory House (Hugh Lawrie)
Is this racist or actorist - just wondering
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Is Hugh Lawrie a cartoon based on racist tropes?

No.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
But Hugh Lawrie is English and Flores is Spanish...there's a race issue here surely whereby one looks like another for no other reason than they do

Well...no more than a cartoon on some food that is apparently quite acceptable...if someone looks like something it's just that...

Neither item exactly the black and white minstrel show is it

For those who have never seen or heard of it....not the BBC's finest twenty odd years really

Not only was it racist..it was fack awful television in it's own right

----------------------------------------------------------------------
So...back on topic....how racist was Mendy thing compared to this...?

WTAF is your point? I get the feeling you think you have some kind of angle, you dont.

Well upon re reading the info on the sweet image - maybe Silva was slightly inappropriate - even given the picture of his long time and very good friend Mendy was of him as a kid where you could say he resembles the cartoon...

Hardly merits the fuss though...unlike the programme I alluded to

Which is fine but let's not pretend the sea has been boiled. He got a 1 match ban and a fine. Personally I think the ban is OTT but its done.

Posting something like the minstrals is just stupid imo and serves only to try and devalue modern sensibilities and social progress.

I've noted your opinion...although despite this im unclear why you think a one match ban is OTT....or indeed what boiling the sea has to do with anything whatsoever.

If it was such a henous thing...what punishment should he get...out out of interest

Fine would have been well, fine. No need to bring football into it with a ban imo.
