League is very weak
Kane has no choice but put his country first, he’s had nothing to play for at club level for the bulk of his career, has never had the dilemma of constantly going deep in competitions.

Current international football is all trash now anyway outside the tournaments, don’t blame players for missing games. Too watered down and too many games.

Funny thing him and Son share same dressing room things gonna be awkward

It's a weird one because I and many others have accused these orgs of being too lenient on this stuff whilst doing 6 months+ for chronic betting?

But seeing 100k fine and 7 games ban for a comment I have seen many times in my life is a bit shocking, but it's probably needed due to how accepted casual racism is against asians so I have no complaints.

As long as this punishment is consistent then I'm thinking fair play. What I wonder is would this teach Bentancur a lesson or will it build resentment?

It's becoming very normal reading racists comments everyday in social media it's awful to see but as famous guy you must be extremely stupid saying these stuff so this ban is needed so these players know there is limits

Yeah the whole point of punishment is to make people think twice, so yeah run it up.

7 games and 100k he will live.

So saying that all Korean's look alike is a 7 game ban and 100k fine, yet an apology is enough for "Listen, spread the word, they play in France, but they are all from Angola, they are going to run well, they like to sleep with trans people, their mum is Nigerian, their dad is Cameroonian, but on the passport it says: French."

I understand that you can't compare those cases and different jurisdictions but still, Chelsea supposedly opened an internal investigation and there was an official complaint towards FIFA. Months later, nothing happened besides some people claiming Enzo is not racist.

****ed up.

Yeah it does look a bit harsh especially factoring in the Enzo situation.

That said we can only hope people take this as an example and act accordingly as a result. While I'm sure there's no malice behind his words it is a display of casual racism even if it's mostly from ignorance and it's something that needs to be stamped down on. Only problem is tho i can guarantee there'll not be consistent punishments for similar behaviour.

It's amazing that Enzo and his teammates managed to be racist and transphobic and then everyone was just like, "Leave Enzo alone!"

Ah yes, the good old days of Titus Bramble..,he is sorely missed.

Hey he did get to play against and even swap shirts with R9 in that match, more than any of us combined can say lol!

Though he did end up selling the shirt to Darren Bent I think I remember hearing, the idiot couldn't even manage to man mark Ronaldo's shirt effectively ffs 🤣

I read something about the issue being with what organisation is responsible for the punishment, otherwise it doesn't make sense really.

For Bentancur the minimum punishment has been set to six games minimum for time, no sympathy there whatsoever.

Football is a bit like elections. Before it's unpredictable. After it's unexplainable... But there's an opportunity for us to make it unforgettable.
