Bernardo Silva tweet controversy

[kaz7]

At the risk of upsetting some in here, I don't see how any can argue it wasn't, at best, offensive and racially insensitive. Poor by Bernardo Silva, in all honesty.

He is not racist unlike captain leader legend
It's a joke between mates nothing more ad no fucker elses business

Meanwhile, a Dover Athletic player suffered proper racist abuse at Hartlepool.

Now that IS disgusting.

Benny and Mbob liked the post because it was banter between good mates,it is not racist if the people involved are not offended,it's a nothing story,he plays in blue that's why it's being highlighted

Exactly, the scousers and rags think it's the worst thing in the world today, and want Bernardo banned for the rest of the season. Just a story for the rag and scouse sheep to get their knickers wet about.

Yes. I love him, but it was stupid thing to post.

I don’t think you’ll upset anybody and agree it is poor. That said City fans will get naturally defensive as any clamour for sanctions are rightly going to be compared to Suarez and Dippers. I’m sure our club has more sense than to have compulsory training tops bearing Silva’s image and name.

Silva should be sent on an education course. End of story. It’s the double standard clamour for huge sanctions from clubs and fans in glass houses that’ll wind us up.

You can start with his Ted Talk.

BRILLIANT!

Thank you for sharing that.

Suarez racially abused another player during a game,how is this got anything remotely to do with that?

Apparently his original tweet and Mendy's cheerful reply were deleted within minutes, so i wonder who at the club oversaw this and alerted Bernie to the storm that was about to break? Anyway, this too shall pass, though it's already unlikely he'd get FA player of the year no matter how brilliantly he plays football for the rest of the season LIFE.

Fixed it! Saved forever! And, who would ever “reward” a racist?!
In fact, I heard Sterling refused to play against Watford if Bernardo was in the team!

Wait for it.......

Absolutely correct very stupid
I’m sure it was meant as a joke but it becomes newsworthy and other people’s business when it is posted on social media.He surely has The players personal numbers if he wants a private joke
Top guy though apologise and move on is the correct course of action

The story seems to have gained less traction than I expected. Hopefully it will blow over with a few stern words for Bernardo. I don’t think he is racist for a second but it was an unwise thing to tweet.
