Racism in football - Ndombele and Sissoko

[trifficTotnum]

I don't think there is a place for racism in football, as it's all about competence and delivering results. Even the thickest racist will get behind a non-white player if he bolsters his clubs performance.

I think your thread has opened a bit of can of worms. In general I don't like the media or press, they like to st*r shit up. Love to pick a side & control the narrative. If they have a gripe with a player or manager they will go after them, while continually bigging up their favourites.

Virtue signalling is fast going out of fashion.

This is a real 'summer' thread

my take on this is the other types of bias:
Delcan Rice wrote a tweet glorifying terrorism when he was 19 (an actual criminal offence) and merely got a slap on the wrist from the football authorities.
Hamza Choudhury wrote some ghetto slang when he was 15 and got slapped with a formal disciplinary.
For lopsided shit like that I would abandon the international squad to be honest.
