It's the suggestion of him having a dodgy african passport that makes it racist. If he finished his sentence with "He looks like he's moving like a 40 year old" nobody bats an eylid.




So you do get it? Whats the problem?



If he said "Enzio moves like an old man" I'm fairly sure everyone moves on pretty quickly from it. I can't imagine he'd have made many friends criticising the longest serving player currently at the club behind his back to his team mates though



My point is that any racism is wrong, all of it does damage and all of it should be gone from football and daily life in general, if you disagree with that I can't really help you...




Superb time for a black or white joke




As explained earlier, you've completely missed the point I was making, which is unfortunate because I tried to make it as simple as possible... A stone would damage a window and a brick would damage it more, but either way it's broken and shouldn't be.

As for "wanting me removed from my job"... Maurice Ross was not removed, in his own words that have been quoted in this topic -

"I had to resign. I did it instantly."

Because he knew he was in the wrong and shouldn't have said it, he also said the club acted impeccably. Why are you still trying to defend someone that has literally admitted they were in the wrong? Do you think Maurice is just a bit confused or being told to give this statement against his will or something?


Questioning Enzio's character over this, who by the way, hasn't said a word about any of this publicly, shows a lot more about your own character than his by the way.
Maybe he thought he had to because of people like you, those that have read a few books on the subject and now own it.
A warning from the club and an Apology from MR should have been more than enough to nullify this problem , no resignation was required.
Some one who compares a rock and a stone thrown to explain levels of abuse sums your whole philosophy up. No I didn't miss the point the point was ridiculous and still is no matter how you try to dress it up.
My questioning of Enzio's character was around his attitude around football.
I would want to have examined if he MR was right to say I was playing like an old man (as you seem to misunderstood the word lazy and use It in your argument ? pedantic at best). and if he was correct how would I go about improving my movement.
I notice that you didn't let me down around the coffee remark , totally anticipated such a response, I think you need to put down your racism in the community, equality and diversity books and get out into the real world.
if you were offended by the stolen passport old man remark believe me there are much much worse forms of verbal abuse going on outside your front door every day.
Nice quote out of context - wanting me removed from my job"... I was referring in my response to your inane comment ,it was about you not MR , so why you have chosen to highlight MR's comment and put it in bold print is beyond me.
In summary of course he was wrong because Enzio was offended , the fact that he chose to resign says a lot about his character , Should he have resigned is open to debate.
