Was probably his agent

Funny you say that but I thought that this morning. Probably a plan to engineer a move away citing racism...

(Not saying he doesn't get racistabuse just very convenient it's come out now).

Honestly, I can’t blame him for wanting to move to a racism safe-haven like Spain.

If racist abuse isn't OK in the ground, it isn't on social media. Simple as that really.

It’s not okay anywhere but you have every media outlet talking about something that 1 faceless idiot has done (maybe it’s a kid, maybe they’re a bit disabled or messed up); if it fixes the issue then great.. otherwise it’s giving 1 more #@&%! on this planet some unwarranted attention.

One is real life. The other is online %@#$&!s.

People have killed themselves over "online %@#$&!s", so its nowhere near that simple.

Apparently Twitter banned the N worders in question.

Maybe only because of the coverage.

If name calling on twitter causes people to kill themselves, it isn’t the online name calling that’s responsible.

I think he’s trying to suggest that if someone is that far gone, if it wasn’t twitter or some other SM outlet it would be something else that tipped them over.

OK, but you can argue that about almost anything if you are sufficiently reductionist.

That ignores the reality that kids grow up on social media now. Being isolated or bullied on social media can be just as powerful as it happening in a classroom. The problem with Twitter is that they have a reputation for not taking this type of abuse seriously.

So easy to call players lazy (it's lazy, even) but very few really are. I see Shaw called lazy on here and he isn't at all. Hard tag to shake.

Pogba struggles with focus, not application.
