He's not racist. He's all that but not racist. Didn't you see him dancing with that Nigerian lady?
The classic "Wait no... I've got a black friend"
Gods are unfathomable to mortals
He's the most skilful player ever. Don't see how that can be debated.
If he self destructs soon it changes nothing about his ability when playing.

I wonder if all of you spoke the same way of George Best. The man that ruined his liver and decided to take another man's which could have gone to someone actually deserving of it.
This was ill advised
“Maradona not so cool now. Some South Korea fans just shouted “Diego” and he obliged with a smile, kiss and wave. Then pulled his eyes to the side in a clearly racist gesture. All of us who saw it are stunned,” Oatley posted on Twitter.

Two hosts of Mexican network Telumundo have been suspended for doing the same while celebrating Mexico's escape from elimination thanks to South Korea.

I can get on board with this
But her emails!
correct not bitter at all. these days not only would that handball goal be disallowed but he'd have got a straight red. as for the second goal, the only guy I'm pissed of with is Peter Reid! All that season he'd hacked opponents down but just let Maradona; he was close enough to foul him early ha ha. oh and what does it matter if I was bitter? I do not have to bow to public opinion that maradona was even close to pele; just like I don't have to think Messi is close to ronaldo
Whatever helps you sleep at night.

He likes Colombia does Diego. Nice friendly people.
He's a fat fecking idiot.
Like Spain as well because it has Koke
Oh come on guys, he’s just an old-schooler who supports South American solidarity...
At what point does Maradona's post football clown show begin to detract from his football career ?
For me, part of being a great is also being an ambassador for the game. Or at least having dignity. In my opinion Maradona is a low-life yob not fit to be on the same page as Pele when we talk about footballing greatness.
A bit old fashioned, I know. But that's how I feel.
I generally prefer to avoid bringing a player's personal life into the mix but in Diego's case its sort of unavoidable when he shows up in front of the world coked up and behaving like a complete clown. Pele for the most part, seems to have done it the right way.
What a fecking clown, also the Columbian manager complaining about Englands tactics ffs
For those that watched him, never. For those who didn't and can be influenced by off-the-pitch antics, I guess his legacy will eventually be tainted if the bad is presented over the good.
Same for any player really - our own Roy Keane is a victim of it on this very site, whilst Best 'gets away with it' because what he did isn't spoken about in a negative light as often.
The curse of his idolatry. Not enough around him with the feckin balls to intervene. I can't say for sure without being there, but I just imagine that if they tried and he resisted they leave him on his own... With the hope of some self reflection. Instead he's always got this posse hanging around.. Like you say, continually enabling.
Kill the idol. Save his life Argentina.
I watched him throughout the 80s and can't seem to decouple his playing with this post playing antics.
Suck it up Diego. Fat feckers never liked England, period. Forget the hand of god fallout, see his interview about Prince Charles.
Bitter Argentinian in anti-England shocker.
Of course he thinks that he needs to keep friendly with the Colombians so he can get his gear
Does anyone really care what this drugged up bloater thinks anymore?

He's a spectacular bellend and sadly likely to be a dead bellend before the next WC comes around
Can't get an erection though can he?
Cry me a fecking river, Diego. Colombia acted like thugs and their fans now complaining. In reality, every non European person in office seem to think that the referee was biased toward England, when in fact the biggest decision went Colombia's way, they were lucky to play with 11 for most of the match, and virtually every player of them should have been booked.
They are separate in practice but not in perception since its the same individual.
In a more extreme example, OJ Simpson in the US, was a famous US football player who had an incredible college and pro career, but then in retirement killed his ex-wife and a bartender. Few today consider his name as synonymous with being a great athletes- they instead view him as a murderer. The point being there are always going to be limits by which our memories of glories past are overrun by more recent events by the same individuals.
Aye, they both fall in the same category for me.
Having been too young to see him play, my impression of Best whilst growing up in the 90's/00's was largely informed by things like domestic violence allegations and that drink driving incident following his liver transplant.
As with Maradona, it's hard to escape the conclusion that he was in many ways a rather unpleasant man.
The curse of kings.
I’m conflicted on this. I’ve just had my Morrissey concert cancelled as some bellend was unable to separate his odious political views from ththe fact he writes a good tune, and organised a protest concert which led to Morrissey cancelling. Yet with Maradona I agree with you. So in short I suppose people will separate the art from the artist depending on personal investment.
Embarrassment of a human being.
Doesn't take away from the fact that he was the greatest footballer ever, though.

I think even that clown knows how to spell the country in question.What a fecking clown, also the Columbian manager complaining about Englands tactics ffs
Like the Colombian team, just a small time mentality.
Sorry, i just prefer that spelling lol, its not like you didn’t know what I meant, or perhaps it was a predictive text error but yeah call me a clown
I'm not even getting into the alleged freedom of speech that Western Europe proclaims but it's only logical why celebs/artists side with the other side despite mostly having no clue on politics. Imagine having your performance cancelled because you think that one sorry politician is better than another sorry one.
