How You Like Me Now? - The Karim Benzema Thread

There is racism or other negative elements that have nothing to do with racism everywhere. Being selective and telling people to get over soemething or ignore it just because it doesn't affect you or you don't care as much is foolishness.

Especially considering the same person gets on his soap box about certain things he cares about.

Which goes back to the point about him being the one to determine what who we should support, what should be important, etc.. he has to be the authority on everything; especially things he knows nothing about

 

People are so racist that they don’t even realize that they are racist

Take a look at Cuadrado in Colombia. He was for a long time the beloved darling of the casual fans. “I love that guy, he is so humble. He came from such tough beginnings” Same was done for Mina at first. Que humildad tan linda is what they said. They don’t mean humble as a character trait but as a person of poor background or lack of education

They are not realizing but they only use that aww how humble and sweet descriptions for black players. Almost as a sign of pity like when you see a disabled person (which is also WAY wrong). They don’t realize it but it’s obvious. Never saw that joyful aww sweetness towards Falcao for example. Him, they saw as a super man. Yepes or Ivan Cordoba. All humble men who worked hard, but the terms to describe them were class acts, professionals, strong men.

Racism is deep within most people yet they deny it to feel good about their character

Good that Benzema retired from French NT, it's just a circus out there.

 

The minister of sport in france just came out to tell this guy to alologize

 

to Benzema or just Zidane?

 

Zidane sorry for lack of clarity

 

Club just released a comunicado on the situation:

 

how

those things are completely unrelated

or you mean because then we have to fire Carlo and hire ZZ?

 

Why would we do that

 

Completely unrelated. As if the next couple of days can take away those CL titles, that BDr, etc.

It's as stupid as saying Modric should focus on the next days or he isn't one of if not the best midfielders ever.

 

I don’t think two things are related. Sensible decision by the club to come in front and support ZZ and Benz both. What happens in CdR has no repercussions over the club’s stance IMHO.

 

Lyra you know the CDr is only to be used to attack the club.

If we lose earlier it is ammo for people with an agenda to criticize. If we win it is spun as not even being an accomplishment.

When Ancelotti won it years ago the same people were mocking the idea we won a double while trashing Ancelotti and saying he should be removed the season after.

 

Still mind blowing to me how the reigning Ballon d'Or got sent back home in his last ever World Cup for no real reason. Glad they're getting exposed, horrible stuff. I bet Deschamps was livid seeing Zidane handing Benz the award, or not mentioning him in his speech like some articles claimed.

 

Especially when your plan B is Giroud lol

 

Which makes Le Graët's comments about kb even more disrespectful.
