Watching ESPN I found out that the coach of the Brit soccer team resigned because one of his players was stripped of his captaincy because he’s on trial for a racial remark. So I wanted to find out what it was about.
Apparently, the player has been accused of saying this to another player during a game, “********** ******** *********”. Seriously, it wasn’t enough that he said, “*******”, but then he had to go add, “*********” and even “*********”.
Unbelievabile. I mean, how can we allow such a person to live? Why, next he might even say, “**********” or even (gasp!) “*************”!!!!!!!
It must suck living under Engsoc, especially if you don’t have the newest edition of the Newspeak dictionary.
That’s pretty ********* insulting and ********** threatening, even if he didn’t add “**** my ****”. If you are going to be stripped of captaincy before being found guilty wouldn’t you almost want to be guilty of it for all that trouble?
You know what I find funny?
The term “black” can’t be used, but neither can “African-American”, for obvious reasons, and they do not have a hyphenated substitute for it. They are trying to eradicate all colors but white. Being white is now a crime.
Also, the “C” word, which is the word I assume he used, doesn’t mean the same thing as it does here.
Seems to me that Ferdinand dude is whinging.
“Ferdinand, who told officers he did not hear the alleged comments, is expected to give evidence during the trial.”
Prosecutor: “So, Mr. Ferdinand, did you hear him call you a ********* ****?”
Ferdinand: “No, I did not.”
Prosecutor: “… But he DID call you a ********* ****?”
Ferdinand: “That’s what they tell me.”
Seriously? He didn’t hear it, but is expected to give evidence? Evidence of what exactly? Everything he didn’t hear?
