Yep it’s absolutely overanalysis that modern society loves today.Wise up, I’ve seen players like VDV described as a beast today. Biggest load of bolox . I describe people of all races as beasts that are at the top of their sports . If people are insistent on looking at everything through a filter of looking for offence then go ahead , but don’t expect everyone else to comply . And it’s also all too easy to accuse people of racism when they clearly aren’t . I’m sick of it .
Any racist words or words with those connotations are absolutely not on EVER.
However to call Udogie a beast of a player is not racist at all. It’s a compliment to say that he’s one heck of a player, a beast, a warrior, a gladiator which is the type of player he is, he’s all action, he’s physical, he’s very strong for someone of his age, he’s explosively fast and he’s a fantastic player, that is what people mean by a ‘beast’ of a player.
No-one is NOT acknowledging his technical skills if anything saying a player is a beast kind of denotes that they’re a very good all-round player.
Diego Costa was a beast of a forward in his prime, John Terry was a beast of a defender, Dembele & Wanyama were beasts of midfielders for us as they dominated the game, Nadal is a ‘beast’ of a tennis player, Bryson Dechambeau is a beast of a Golfer.
Take our other full-back Porro you’d not call him a ‘beast’ and nothing to do with race, he simply isn’t a ‘beast’ type of a player, he’s much smaller and slighter and so if you want to compliment him we can compliment his passing and say he is a ‘baller’ but Udogie is both a baller and a beast. I’d also not call Emerson a ‘beast’ of a player as he’s not as explosive and powerful and quick and strong as Destiny is. It’s just a way to describe a certain style of player that’s it, end of.
I completely get we have to be very careful and sensitive with wording but at the same time let’s not make something into a big deal when it isn’t needed, that is the issue that people have.
Love Destiny, fully COYS
