WTF ?😂

Racism is shocking and needs to be dealt with however why is it that it gets all the attention in the media yet what is worse for me is the disgusting comments such as the one directed at Scott Brown. These comments for me are worse and are still used week in week out yet nothing is said.

And Souness thinks Kean signed for Everton because he had an attitude problem/isn’t good enough for Juve. Nothing to do with the abuse he got.

It’s a disgraceful place.

Totally agree with Souness. He clearly isn't good enough

What was said to Scott Brown was terrible but it wasn’t worse than racism

It’s pure ignorance and a complete lack of education on the subject.

Incredible levels of ignorance.

posted on 4/9/19

That is actually incredible. bizarre. I kind of understand the point he is TRYING to make(try and unsettle a good player etcetc), but the historical meaning and total ignorance towards the actual message and harm of the abuse is ridiculous.

This isn't some "ohhhhhhhh" when a goalie is taking a gk ffs.

So someone having a go at your skin colour is worse than someone ridiculing one of your family members dying.
Feck off

I guess each instance would need to be looked at individually. I would wager most would prefer being called a choc ice (rio to ashley cole) for example than a dead family member being dragged up, on the flip side a hate crime is probably worse.

I find racism completely abhorrent but what was said to Brown was on a different level

Shut up you idiot. I have said its shocking but i said someone mocking a dead family is worse. Called an opinion just because you don't agree doesn't mean a lack of understanding on my part

You're not mature enough, nor knowledgable enough, to debate this subject properly.

I suggest you shut up and let the adults talk.

Of course you won't do that, so I won't be entertaining your ignorant crap any further.

Not really relevant. What Rio said to Cole wasn't racist. I'd say ridiculing the death of someone's family is worse than racist (verbal) abuse.

posted on 4/9/19

Of course it is, or atleast has racial connotations.

Either way not relevant

Elvis, that’s because you’re looking at it as a stand-alone event, which is actually quite a poor thing to do.

You need to consider the wider context and how this affects Lukaku’s life, not just this single event.

---------------

depends on context that.. I was called a vice vicer when I grew up, (similar to the choc ice comment) but by my mates.. all bantz..

I honestly believe that racism is more in feeling than actual words, hard to describe exactly what I mean, I grew up in a very multi cultural neighborhood where racial banter and stero types was the norm.. so now I hear AJ say things like 'superior black race' to a fellow boxer and I'm not offended in the slightest..

that said, monkey chants to a black footballer is disgraceful.. because its fans of a certain colour, targeting a player of a different colour (doesn't matter which way round), whom are not mates, and banter is not appropriate.

I hope I've come not come across as disrespectful here in any way, just trying put my thoughts into words.. again, my view is tainted a little because of how I grew up.. and the mates I have now!

True, the death of a family member is forgotten instantly after the funeral.

Its not racist. Rio is calling Cole a coward.
