You said 'Girls don't know anything about the beautiful game'

I said 'Boys don't know anything about girls'

Should I have added a ??

Racism turning to sexism was a dig at the absurdity of it all, not at you.

I guess inflection is lost on here.

GO BELGIUM!!

there was actually a documentary during the world cup that talked about racism in soccer. its really sad how some of the black players get treated in the premier leauges. i couldnt belive what i saw. people throwing bananas and screaming at players even on there own team. so disgusting that it really pisses me off. stop the racism. even everyone on here. there is no need for it. some of you may think its funny but it really isnt.

Who thinks it's funny? I don't think anyone here believes racism is funny. It is a serious issue. However, another serious issue is calling racism something that isn't and people seem to like to throw the word "racism" around like no tomorrow lately. Calling a team "divers" or showing disapproval for an individual's actions is not racism! Stop calling it that way, it only damages our already, to an extend, ignorant society.

btw, I've seen that documentary and I'm not sure what you mean by "Premier leagues", but for the record, it wasn't about the Premier League. It was mainly about Seria A (Italy) and La Liga (Spain)
