I can't remember the last time I read about someone doing blackface to upset anyone, it's more or less always a case of someone doing it and not realising it's massively offensive to some people.

The last one I can remember is from a few years ago in Australia where Qantas organised a competition where participants were encouraged to attend a Wallabies test match dressed to look like Radike Samo. For those who don't know, Radike Samo looks like this:




I'm sure you can imagine where this is headed.

Then surely, it should also be permissible for someone to say "ugh, I hope Sheffield United don't re-sign a literal rapist."

You guys remember Cuauhtémoc Blanco, right? The bouncy guy who was a bit of an unhinged oval office? He's a mayor of a Mexican city now. It's going like you would probably expect it to.

He added: "I accept that I broke the rules governing professional footballers, but I do feel the penalty is heavier than it might be for other less controversial players."

Of course it is, and the only person at fault for this is Joey Barton. I guess it explains why he's constantly doing stupid loving poo poo - it's always someone else's fault, never his, and if he is made to be held accountable, it's just everyone picking on good ol' Joey. What a loving idiot baby.

Naturalising Brazilians: totally fine for Portugal, Spain, Croatia, Japan... but Africans can gently caress off apparently

There's a difference between how Portugal, Spain, Croatia or Japan went about things, and how Equatorial Guinea went about it.

Feel free to highlight cases where the Portuguese, Spaniards, Croats and Japanese fielded Brazilian players with forged documents to fast track them into the national set-up.

What a piece of work. How bitter do you have to be to belittle someone for having any success? I mean, aren't the age-group sides about developing young talent and then sending them through to the senior team? How pathetic do you have to be to resent someone for achieving that?
