Just say all lives matter would make more sense.
Exactly, we're all equal and face the exact same challenges. Being white is just as hard as being black in Western society. White people are just as likely to face police brutality or discrimination due to the colour of their skin. Just like white English players are more likely to be booked or viewed negatively when they do something wrong.

Lots of replies to Robbie’s tweet rightly calling him out.

Even adding all nationalities matter and people from all over the globe. I do think football managers do not discriminate very much and goes for who is best.
Although in PL it is the home grow rule which is discriminating a bit. Don't think you should force clubs to produce their own players or that others should be worth less.
It is good for us now and it is nice to see local players though, but I don't think it should be forced.

I'm disappointed this happened with Claude having watched his videos and knowing the depression he went through etc.

However, I'm also more disappointed that he had those views and thoughts more than the fact he actually said it and he needs to truly wise up and I'm glad he's rightly banned for it.

Why did he come out and make up total nonsense over something that was clear as day? Baffling, and Robbie just bought it. What a disaster.

Robbie no doubt in my mind told him to say that as a defence.

I mean this obviously isn't true. What are you on about?

I do. However most of "racist" things get blown way out of proportion such as this comment about Kane. I mean seriously, since I am white, am I supposed ti be offended by what Troopz said...?
It’s your choice mate. But why did he have to bring up race here, or when he called Burnley ‘white lives matter’ for one stupid man’s actions?

Racism is abhorrent, and people relating everything to race plays a major part in it.

How can Troopz get away with saying ‘ Kane didn’t get booked because he’s white’! Imagine if that was the other way round...??

Troopz clearly sees race in everything & making such an obvious race baiting comment needs educating too
Not the first time. Remember the nonsense he was saying few months back about that Ajax tweet.

First of all whether Claude meant it or no, AFTV will not be in trouble for it. They have good excuse to use and as what Claude mentioned he was referring to Spurs and it was a common joke. They will get away with that.

Second, the DVD thing is first time I heard. And Son probably doesn't care much about what Claude said since he already clarify he didn't mean it.

I actually consider our chant on Park worse than what Claude said. We got away from it because the fans made excuse that it was meant to insult Liverpool which again similar to what Claude did.

This kid gets it:

I really dislike this argument. The club has been trending downwards for years, and we have some of the highest ticket prices in the country. Should we just accept it because we're not as bad as Hull?

Whether you "offend" someone isn't the point. It's a totally off comment, and he shouldn't get away with it just because whites don't typically get anywhere near the prejudice historically that black people have dealt with.

I mean livestreaming you watching a football match is probably the dumbest idea ever. Was only a matter of time until someone said something stupid.

A bunch of idiots being live-streamed for 2+ hours every three days... it was obvious someone would eventually say something wrong.
Exactly this!!

You've got a bunch of seriously dense, seriously viciously aggressive people in a scenario designed to get their anger to a peak, and there's surprised their usually foul language slips into even more sinister territory!

Yeah I actually misread that line which is where I went wrong, it’s late and I’m tired. My bad
Fair does, bud...i almost made the exact same mistake, especially as someone had said "oh but all lives matter" just above

It’s a shame for me because Claude was my favourite one on the channel and the only one I watched. I’m Chinese and I didn’t find his comment offensive, but I don’t speak for the whole Asian population so my opinion is just that; my own.

Regarding the Harry Kane comment, I think Troopz should be sacked too. By definition racism is hating an individual or entire group, or making judgements on someone based off skin colour or race which Troopz clearly did.

Claude thing is weak in my opinion - inappropriate banter at worst. I found fans singing songs about Park eating dogs more offensive.
It's a racial stereotype. It's pretty out of order.

And a hilarious utter BS excuse video.

Yeah, i shouted DVD when i meant "oh you'll be bringing a dvd out about this fine win"

Courrrsee you meant that mate.

Troopz comment was ridiculous, but i suppose it wasn't any sort of racial slur against whites. It was more an absolutely totally unfounded accusation that whites get favoured in football.

It was a racial slur, indicating that because Kane is white he’ll get away with something.

It definitely was dodgy, but what is the actual slur?

It's not a stereotype, it's not him discriminating himself.

It's insinuating someone else is discriminating positively towards him, which is nonsense, but i'm not sure it's actually a racial slur.

Don't get me wrong, I think he's an absolute idiot of almost immeasurable levels. Before this.

Son is subbed off: "DVD is going off"

"Well they're making a DVD now, Tottenham". For a fecking substitution? And since when was "going off" a synonym for "being released"?

That explanation is laughable :lol: :lol:
It's all time worst BS explanation territory isn't it.

I thought he might just have shouted "DVD" but saying DVD is coming off, totally discredits any sort of argument, as he is quite literally calling Son DVD!

Dreadful. And the way he's not even angry suggests he does it quite often to his mates.

Robbie backs Claude, they fudge together a hasty cover up video, then Robbie back tracks and bans him when the sponsor pulled out.

So much for being ‘for the fans’. This could have been handled so much better by pretty much everyone involved.

I wonder how often sky sports fan zone commentators were close to saying something stupid.
