“Dele Alli has apologised for a video posted on his Snapchat account in which the Tottenham and England midfielder appeared to mock an Asian man and joke about the coronavirus outbreak.

Alli, who has been on holiday during his club’s winter break, posted the video of him wearing a face mask in an airport departure lounge on Saturday with the message: “Corona whattt, please listen with volume.” The 23-year-old then zooms the camera towards an unsuspecting man of Asian appearance before panning to a bottle of antiseptic hand wash captioned: “This virus gunna have to be quicker than that to catch me.””
That lad missed his true calling in life, he should have been a stain on his mother's sheets instead of a stain on humanity.
 
That’s racism, pure and simple. But he’s English so it will be fine according to the FA.
I'll be amazed if he gets away with that.

Bernardo: "I think my mate looks like this cartoon character"
vs.
Alli: "That man's Asian so he must be carrying a deadly virus"

Move along here nothing to see. Watch how the media reports this and what the Fa does about it, I think we can then draw definitive conclusions of where their agendas are.
 
A high profile footballer making a joke about a virus that has killed approaching 1000 people and specifically tagging an Asian person into the so called joke is disgusting.

There should be action taken against this prick.

How would people have reacted if he had made a similar joke about cancer or HIV.

Classy as every Deli Alli the ****.

Plays for England, plays for Spurs, is a minority himself. No chance the spineless media push this story and no chance the FA do anything.
 
The thing that appears to be killing people is the Cytokine Storm that comes from the virus. This requires immunosuppressive drugs (like corticosteroids), but they must be finely balanced with the drugs needed to bolster the immune system to fight the actual underlying virus.

These diseases are sneaky fuckers! One drug helps fight the virus, but the virus has created such respiratory distress that you need steroids to stop you from basically drowning in the disease! Those steroids undermine the drugs needed to fight the original virus.

It’s a fucking tightrope walk once you start to get really sick from this virus.

It is essentially the same as doing it to an African person with HIV or Ebola.

He should be banned for longer than B.Silva but I doubt he will.
 
@karen7 it’s time to go to the bunker.

It won't seem real until somebody you know gets it.
I had my first reality check this morning. I was in Toolstation, and a chinese women in front of me had a face mask on.
It's the first time i've seen somebody wearing one (since the outbreak) that isn't on TV.
Overhearing her conversation with the sales assistant, she was ordering every face mask the shop had.
She was explaining that she was visiting every shop she could, to get as many masks as they had. She said she was going to send them to relatives in China.
I can only assume this is due to a shortage of masks and rising (profiteering?) prices.

Now i've read that some (east) asian people have been suffering racism already. With people refusing to sit near them, or openly referring to coronavirus.
Does wearing a mask only serve to make matters worse, or is it prudent and a safe thing to do?
If i'm honest, it did make me wonder was it for her protection or mine.
A few more local cases may see us all wearing one. (assuming they haven't all been bought up!)
