Bringing racism into this is ridiculous. People who rightly fight racism can't agree what racism is.
Take Bernie and his cartoon character of mendy. Compare to ganancho posting mojo of a silver back gorilla to Onana. To me one was harmless fun, the other using a gorilla was not.
The problem with playing the racism card to often is it makes the problem of racism worst. Also as with Bernie and ganancho both being treated differently when both should have the same. Even people who fight racism can't decide what is or isn't.
For me Garnacho incident was worse then Bernie, using a gorilla to represent a black man is just so wrong. But Garnacho wasn't punished. This is way i find racism confusing.
I saw Bernie as a joke no worse then posting a picture of Tin Tin as KDB, I didnt see it as racism. But using a silver back gorilla towards a black keeper is ok.
I emailed 'kick out racism' for their view, didnt reply.
As for bellend for me its not about racism, that never entered my mind. It's because I have never seen him play well, his 'look at me' when he scores is all about him not the team. To me he is vasty over rated as a footballer and comes across as a twat who thinks he is brilliant.
I personally blame him, taa and southgate for Foden being poor last season. Phil went into that camp as player of the year, came back a shell of the player he is.
