I am appalled that in 2019 a Spanish confectionary brand would have that logo. The Spanish are barely above the Italians in cultural maturity.



Anyway Bernie is a good Portuguese lad and meant well, let this be a teachable moment

just before kick off when the cameras are on, the team forms a circle chain chanting very loudly, "CONGUITO! CONGUITO! CONGUITO!

How do you even defend that tweet? I mean the loving mascot is racist as poo poo by itself which is the real issue here, let alone comparing it to another person. If they are friends and cool with that then do it in private... Southern Europe gonna Southern Europe I guess.

More like pep doesn’t want his really good utility tool winger midfielder copping a ban for something he should be educated about instead

This is a great example of where the justice should be reformative instead of punitive.

I would say he's way more likely to get a ban now that Man City are showing themselves to be institutionally racist. If he apologised like any normal person would and promised to learn about the issues he raised with his post then that could be seen as an acceptable response.

They're used to hiding them to get them into the stadium in the first place. If you could see them, they'd stand out like christmas lights to the average Brazilian soccer fan.

Is there any gossip on why the kid did it? It still puzzles me that he thought he could get away with it. Also, if he was already on professional terms, I imagine he was on decent wages.

Silly questions, I know, but the whole affair puzzles me.

Presumably, because no one at Paris FC can afford a nice watch, let alone a Nice watch.

He actually put out an official statement:

quote:

“After several days of an unprecedented media storm for me, I have decided to give myself a voice via a communiqué. I would like to first of all apologise to the fans and those who love Le Gym. A lot of them supported me and showed me kindness since I made my professional debut, as a youngster from the local region who joined the club when I was 14. Their reactions embody the level of disappointment that they feel towards me and I owe them an explanation.”

“I proudly wore the club of my childhood’s shirt last season in Ligue 1. I was unfortunately injured for several months and my return to competitive action was further delayed following a red card I picked up whilst playing for the U19s. That affected me mentally and my difficult situation contrasted starkly the success and aura of Kasper, my team-mate. I took it out on him without having any reason to do so, maybe a bit because of jealousy. Instead of trying to battle on the pitch to provide him with competition for places, I reacted stupidly towards him.”

“My actions were not taken out of an appetite to gain something from it, but out of disappointment, frustration and feeling discredited. Of course, I am only 18, but my age excuses nothing. I therefore owned up to what I had done to Kasper, Mr Fournier, the Director General of the club, Patrick Vieira, my coach and Dante, my captain. One by one, I apologised to each one of them. I also took on the responsibility of reimbursing my team-mate fully, which I have now done. I wish him a lot of success at OGC Nice and in his career. Maybe one day we will come across each other on a pitch and this affair will be merely a bad memory.”

“Now, I am leaving the club where I had always wanted to succeed and enjoy myself, which for me is the greatest possible punishment. I thank all those who believed in me. I hope to be able to prove one day that they were right and that I am worth more than what has happened. Redemption for me will come on the football pitch and I now want to concentrate on my passion, football.”
