Bored of these conversations. This whole ‘tackling racism in football’ thing is so often misdirected. Tbh, in society in general. He will probably get banned now for a comment his mate took no offence to at all, while the governing bodies get to look ‘tough on racism’. The real problems with racism in football, and again, society in general - very rarely have any slurs attached to them and go unaddressed everyday. You will see media witch hunts against people like Sterling and Pogba not discussed, but people would be outraged if Sterling’s teammate who could be godfather to his kids mimicked a Jamaican accent talking to him. You will see Dwight Yorke constantly complain about not getting into management, with a general underlying consensus that he doesn’t really ‘seem’ like the management type. Addressing why not is the real problem.
Besides, 90% of the time ‘racism’ is misdefined anyway. Referencing race, nationality isn’t ‘racist’ by definition. I’m largely unbothered by things like this from Bentancur, personally.
