You keep framing everything in terms of what is printed. Try thinking about what isn't printed and why it isn't printed. Then you will be hot on the trail of racism.

We've got social media for the stuff mainstream media want to leave out, but that's another story.

I don't know why you're bringing this sort of argument to a football forum and linking it to current affairs. It's out of context. Shit, the next time you want to moan about Maureen, the Gypos, Chavs, fans being milked by corporations and whatever else, I'll kindly remind you that it's all trivial when kids are being blown up in Gaza. ;)

........
Just so we don't lose track, we were discussing Balotelli....in the Calum Chambers thread for some reason. :shrug:

Probably because the English are not a race who have been oppressed and discriminated against for much of their history.
The difference is pretty obvious.

You don't know why I'm bringing this here? Me? Wasn't me who linked that dumb article to Balotelli in a transfer thread, was it? Look elsewhere for the instigator. I hadn't mentioned anything bar transfers here until somebody brought up racism. But who?

Social media :haha: At least I assume you were joking.

I see, so it's not the principle that counts, it's the statistical application. Good to know. By the way, the very first slave owners were black. We copied them so successfully we surpassed the tutor.

Anyway, I'm happy not to dwell if people want to stop bringing stuff like this up in a transfer thread.

ummm....because it links into what Syn said about Balotelli having a rough ride in the Italian league.:rolleyes:

The only sympathy I have on that front is that I don't think anywhere he has been so far has had the right environment. Either in racist Italy or the Man City circus.

---

Yes, social media, old man. :oldboy: New media. We're in a generation where we can access information from alternative sources if we find the mainstream biased. But continue to patronise. ;) Enlighten us about 'real' racism.....but please do so in the 'general chat' thread. :good:

So... Callum Chambers...
