Seems like an enlightened man. He even respects fat people. Not to mention black people.

Messi will ask the Barca board to sell him soon.

No wonder so little pro players come out. Or wait until they are retired. Imagine having to deal with that idiot and i'm sure he's not the only one in that dressing room or any dressing room for that matter.

Sounds like a grade a wankstain. feck him, in that case I’m delighted it was Gini and Origi who scored the goals that knocked his side out.

He respects the little pro players, too.

I was going to write something about him being Croatian and it being unsurprising. Didn’t know he was born in Switzerland though.

Stepping away from the fact that he was blessed with talent, can you imagine how dumb he is for a human male. Like if he wasn't a footballer what sort of miserable, bitter, hateful life would he be living.

Not that it excuses anything but isn't this from 2012? Normally it's opposition fans digging up old stuff but guessing it was a Barca fan this time.

Why doesn’t he tell us how he really feels.

I bet he can’t stand gingers though!

The comment was made in 2012. I hope since making it he has had some education on the matter.

So, is Croatia an especially homophobic country or did ol' Ivan just turn into a bigot cnut on his own?

Since his 2012 comments have resurfaced, it is only fair to bring up his 2014 follow-up statement:
"It was a misunderstanding. I'm an open person and I have no problems with gay players. I'm open to sharing a dressing room with anyone who is a good person and a good player, and sexual orientation is not important to me."

Constantly at the STD clinic.
A lot of people share his mindset to be honest and if you dont like a certain kind of person but dont act on it, dont think it makes it illegal.

Still makes you look really bad and you should never say it in public.

Hold the pitchforks then if it was taken out of context.

Opened the article and saw it was in Croatian. Do you know it or you used google translate?

Did he really need further education to not spew stupid crap like this though :lol:
No. Ignorance isn't an excuse and i'm not excusing him for his comments either. I do however believe that people can change and that tweets like that don't help the situation when they omitt details of when this was said (7 years ago) and the later comments he made in 2014. Do we know if Rakitic is being sincere in the 2014 comments? No, but i'd like to believe in a world where we can act on reconciliation and education of ignorance. A lot of people that make these sort of comments do not understand why it is a problem at the deep rooted level and I think educating them as to why is the only thing that will make them realise, aside from the obvious.

Yeah I agree. He should have been more careful with his views but it isn’t like it’s a total left field view.

He’s the kind of guy who would employ dwarves for a night and use them as bowling balls.
