Who knows how many players were too cowardly to oppose it and how many more were too cowardly to stare at their shoes silently in disgust. From the military to football squads, if you put a close knit group of hyped up young men in a small space there will be few who have the moral courage to stand up to it. Otherwise decent people end up going along with deplorable behaviour. My fear is that Emi is in that category. They probably all were. As for the nonsense from a couple of posters around, ‘it’s not really racism’… what bollocks.Yes, absolute bollocks. Then there’s the one(s) who don’t care about racism because they’re not black or something.Having read the translation of what they were singing, it’s really not being snowflake woke to say that is straightforward racism.

The leadership now in Argentina headed by the crackpot Javier Milei isn’t exactly the sort to find any remorse for this situation Argentina's Vice-President Victoria Villarruel: "No colonialist country is going to intimidate us for a football song or for telling the truths that they do not want to admit. Stop feigning indignation, hypocrites. Enzo, I'm with you."https://x.com/football__tweet/status/1813851968047051064?s=46

Liz Truss is currently at the RNC supporting Donald Trump. She’s a former Prime Minister endorsing that ******.

Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel. I had a Welsh boss who viscerally hated the English, did some family research and found out he was descended a few generations ago from the English. He still thought it was ok to call us mongrels, even though he was self identified as an English/Welsh mixed heritage person, which is actually fine but by his definition a mongrel. I love a bit of national pride and I fucking hate nationalism. Edited for crap spelling.
