And there’s an argument to be made that managers still pigeonhole black players into certain positions and roles.

Jose Mourinho is notorious for this. He singlehandly turned Obi Mikel from a dynamic "El Pibe" central midfielder into a plodding defensive midfield water carrier. He loves to limit the skill sets of black players and limit them to roles like they are Gennaro Gattuso (who oddly is a manager now but that could be a whole nother thread on its own :mjlol:).

As racist as America and Canada are, at least you will never see fans throw bananas at black players and make monkey noises directed at black players in the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, NCAA, Canadian junior hockey leagues and minor leagues.

FIFA and other footballing bodies have always taken the same stance on racism - paltry fines and insulting slaps on the wrist that will never serve as a deterrent. I wish Samuel Eto "no mas" walked from the pitch that he was getting abused by those Spanish knuckle draggers in the crowd. Unfortunately, I think that what needs to be done, although by doing so they will undoubtedly get punished more than the actual racists do.


FIFA and their ilk basically don't give a fukk so long as the money keeps rolling in.
