The stupid ignorance I can agree with you
then you lose me . It’s not really like those examples because they’re just far to extreme
you can be totalitarian in your application of ignorance or you can quite easily reason that there are less obvious cases
assuming dele is the type to hold prejudice that most Afroamericans are fried chicken eating convicts because he generalised an Asian man in an airport may or may not be from the source of his (awful) effort at humour (in the middle of a media frenzy) is not really the same at all .
It’s this forums favourite of reducing to the ridiculous for some hardcore virtue signally
he’s been a dick , tasteless rude , embarrassed himself and our club
I’m not prepared to hang him out to dry
It's one thing being young and stupid through ignorance but quite another when you work for a club that has dealt with perceived racism such as the 'Y' word, and much recently Rutiger.
Well I hope the sun doesn’t come out today as the majority of snow flakes will fucking melt if it does! A lot of people were quick to jump on the band wagon after the chelsea games calling out our fans as racist which come to nothing , is dele a racist, no he isn’t , he is just fucking stupid and immature and should know better, the talk of him never playing football for spurs and England again? Get a fucking grip of ya non binary vegan fucking selves!
I agree with you and we’ve all done stupid things but the unfortunate thing with Dele is that when you’re that famous the consequences are much bigger for him.
One of them being loads of spurs fans destroying his character on a spurs forum
I've asked before and I'll ask again, please don't use this sort of language, so offensive. And I really don't see what's funny either.
He's been an idiot, but at least he's had the sense to apologise. Unfortunately, I think the damage has been done, and the way the media treat us, this won't go away any time soon.
At least he was quick to make things right.
90 percent of the people who have seen the video / read an article about it / heard about it will probably never know about 'the apologies'.
How dare he make a mistake??? Hang him
Destroying his character is certainly not my intention, I am trying to explain what I find is wrong with what he is done to those who can’t seem to see it.
Just because he’s one of our own we can’t all shush up about it and defend what’s obviously wrong.
Dele has himself seen what he did could be offensive so he has immediately apologised, I consider the matter to be over to be honest.
I didn't say that, I gave him credit for apologising quickly. But knowing how things have panned out for us recently, the Club will be pulled through the mire yet again. That's my concern.
Im actually glad most people aren’t brushing it under the carpet because he’s Spurs to be honest
Nobody has defended what he’s done some on here say it was racist others say it was tasteless and foolish, nobody from my WhatsApp groups, on Twitter or this forum has either advocated or defended
I thought it was way too severe
I definitely acknowledged he messed up and he’s atoned best he can with an apology
agree with you and hopefully it’s enough to put this to rest
Nobody has 'ruined his character'.
How dare a Spurs player be held accountable for being a dick
Let him off, don’t mention it, and only speak up if it’s an Woolwich player
I mean people have lost their jobs for less. I doubt people who are defending Dele and saying his racist video is just "banter" were too quick to defend the autistic kid who was banned from NWHL for mocking Asian supporters.
