Isegrim 10001 Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 he's also confirmed that he's been offered a new contract but might reject it if he loses this case Eh? His current contract is still running until 2010 and he is already on alleged 60k a week. He hasn't really earned a pay raise on these enormous wages, has he?

Fop 1 Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Saying in the Mirror that it's normal in Turkey for players to call other players negros and he's not a racist because he's a Muslim Wow a fight between factions both usually used to have PCness firmly on their side, potential racism vs Islam. Probably won't have seen as much bitterness and low blows since the time I saw the cyclist lobby go up against the pedestrianisation lobby in a bloody all out fight..... nothing worse than when two high horses collide.

Oh god if they'd got involved as well there would have been actual deaths, and their involvement would have dragged in the responsible dog walkers coalition destabalising the whole region.

There has been some reports of sniping from the countryside alliance, further muddying the waters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Referring to someones racial or ethnic background in the heat of battle whatever the intention can only be really taken one way by the recipient. It's a real shame as Emre was really starting to get his act together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know calling someone a Pakistani is saying where they come from. How does that equate to Negro? I think Emre using the word 'Negro' has been taken out of context though. What he's saying is probably true, for example I have a black ink cartridge sat on my desk at work with negro clearly printed on the side - it's not racist it's the colour of the cartridge in a different language. Therefore Emre using the word negro is no worse than saying black. Now, if Emre said Yobo was a "F*ckin Coon" it'd be a different matter. I don't think he's racist and I also think if Everton and Newcastle see fit to leave this be I don't see why the FA has to blow it all out of proportion. It'd be sad to see Emre go over a misunderstanding of translation and the PC brigade jumping in on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
