Dele Alli at Everton

[mmidgers]

I think we all know the intention behind it besides it's not you're right to call out what is and what isn't offensive if it doesn't effect you.

Anyway silly joke, he apologised and now we can move on.

Just curious, did anyone from China call it offensive? Honest question

They've probably got bigger things to worry about.

not sure its racist but pretty stupid. OTOH, most 23 year olds are pretty stupid.

at least Spurs Shanghai, an official fan club requested an apology from Dele through the club

Dunno mate, haven't got round to ask all 1B people that live there, will let you know when I do - might wait until this virus things calms down though

That’s disappointing from him. I actually thought that he had grown up. People have been sacked for less. So he’s fortunate to still be playing.

 

[cozzo]

It's not racist its a fact. The virus comes from China. Why is it offensive. I hate society today. Can't do or say anything without it being offensive

Was the guy he was filming 100% Chinese? Or just “looked” Chinese? It reminds me when all Africans were stigmatised with having AIDS (it was said that AIDS came from Africa) in the eighties. I don’t see how people are blind to the casual racism going on.

This is a young man in the public eye, he should know much better than to post videos like this to a social media outlet !!!

Must they in order for it to be offensive?

Well you now have a task to do this morning.

FA should throw the book at him and once thats over we kick him out of the first team for a year or 2 before letting him leave on a free or selling for anything. No excuse. Hundreds, soon to be thousands, of people are dead over this virus. Still absurdly immature after all this time. Disgraceful. Really growing tired of Dele. If he’s not fucking up on the pitch, he does off of it. Million dollar talent, 2 cent head.

wow, not like a an american to ove react eh hank?

 

[Ron Burgundy]

He made a mistake and he apologised now let’s move on

Agreed. It was stupid, but not racist or particularly malicious.

He apologised and will learn from it. He's 23 FFS

Like he learned from the last mistake huh?

People like him will never learn.

Was a badly judged joke which in all honesty was more naive than anything else. Watched a re-run of Little Britain the other day, and boy oh boy did it open my eyes to just how things have changed in the last few years. Surprised David Walliams and Matt Lucas are not the victims of daily hate crime for their atrocities. World's gone batsoup crazy!

 

[NickHSpurs]

It was insensitive and very fucking stupid but not racist, bottom line is he should know better by now. Shame off the back of such a quality appearance as well but it will be forgotten about in a couple of weeks.

This is from @whitechina in the Coronavirus Thread:

Just a small update on the new precautions taking place in the city that I live in in China
In my local community about 8 families have been isolated as maybe they have caught this virus. From today only one member from each household is permitted to leave this community- every other day! We must collect a pass from a management office and then we can leave the security enclosed gates. The feeling today is pretty much down TBH. For the first time I feel trapped and I am more apprehensive than before.
My wife and I went shopping the other day and 95% of places are closed. We bought everything we wanted and the basic fruit and veg is about 50% more expensive than before- but at least we got what we wanted!

Oh, that prat Dele Alli was on the news here- I didn't catch what was being said in relation to the video he posted, but it won't be good that's for sure! I hope that they don't blank Spurs out like they did for Arsanal!

 

[JUSTINSIGNAL]

Very, very stupid from Dele. Let's not gloss over it because he is one of our players. He should know better(especially being mixed-raced) than to make ignorant comments about someone based on their race.

 

[OPModric]

Think about Bobby Madley. His career was over after filming and "making a bad joke".

I am not saying he is racist but its a racist thing to do. Because he plays football for us, shouldn't come in to it
