You’d get sacked for that? (Unless if missed more than that what I’ve read)

A crap joke from another age. It doesn’t justify a 7 game ban though.

‘they all look the same’ - Seems OTT 7 games but you can’t say that this day and age. We have training at work several times a year on all this type of stuff. If I said it and it was reported I’d be sacked.

Ah ok, I’d not seen that bit. Definitely get a good bollocking if not more at the work place.
But posting emoji of a silver back is OK to a team mate ?
But not OK to send images of a cartoon character that looks like a team mate.
I really don't understand racism in football
Because its used as part of the fear factor to make people afraid to write, or speak in a way that the status quo are are to thick to debate.
There's only one race the human race.

His ban helps us but i'm not a fan of the FA determining what is and isnt acceptable, this should be something for the club to figure out and do whatever they feel appropriate. if bentancur and son spoke and both had no issue with it, it should be left at that without the FA interfering. If there was an issue, they can deal with it as they see fit, the FA should only be getting involved if the clubs asks for it.
Context is always critical and we don't seem to have it. Or at least the reporting on this isn't giving it to us if it's put there. Surely he didnt just come out and say all Koreans look the same? Has to have been background to it, as an example was there a comparison to somebody who genuinely looked like Son?
Even if he did just come out with that, it doesn't neccesarily make it offensive. Obviously a blanket statement of they all look the same sounds bad to us but South Americans have a different culture, just because it translates to something our society has deemed inappropriate, It doesn't mean they have the same intentions if they say it.

Why do Spurs always seem to have players with Bent at the start of their name?
