This is the thing about all the racism. It's the same knobs sending hate to everyone knowing there is no comeback. Skin colour is just a convenient way to abuse them. All the white players / managers get tons of abuse too every time they have a bad game.

You can still find Tweets with woke people saying that the world would be better without white people, BLM and the campaigns about online racism is all just politics. They can use it to ramp up censorship and cancel culture and dismiss anyone who argues against it is a racist.

How many adverts do we need about online hate before people realise the people hating don't give a ****.

Its just stupid isn't it. They are trying to push the narrative that anything negative shouldn't be posted online and that it should just be a lovely little echo chamber where people only ever agree with you. If you use social media for your own gain, don't be surprised when some people don't agree with you or think you are a ****. There is no excuse for racism but unsurprisingly, people who post actually racist messages don't care and won't stop unless caught. Most of the stuff they deem racist isn't racist at all. Its simply directed at someone who is part of a protected group which must be racist because it couldn't be a simple disagreement or someone just being an equal opportunity ****.

Sorry, to be clear are you saying that online racism is not a problem?

Did they just say that Neymar has scored 15 in all competitions this season? Has he been injured? If not that's shocking. Calvert-Lewin has scored 20 and plays in a better league...

He's been injured a lot during his time at PSG, not sure he's managed 30 games in a season for the entire time he's been there. Pretty sure he's only played 15 league games this season. He's basically a Brazilian Matip :D

To be fair to him, as bad as his playacting is at times, he gets lumps kicked out of him most games. Some of the fouls that have caused some of his injuries have been awful.
True. But at the end of the day they paid a ton for him, and he's not managed 20 league goals since joining them. Regardless of the reasons that's a poor return

People thinking Neymar was never up to much not remember the MSN days? GOAT trio
Lot of it is lack of exposure outside of the Champions League games. Messi still hasn't proved he's one of the greatest until he plays in the Prem etc.

Some would suggest that being a playacting **** encourages that sort of challenge...
That definitely plays a part, as does being able to keep the ball by embarrassing the opposition with tricks.
