Is it really such a crime for your XI to have the same skin colour? Are 11 white people not allowed to be together without it requiring a club statement anymore?

Fucking hell man.

I get what you're getting at, but people are reacting to the full squad photo, not just the XI, so 27 players.

It's still ridiculous. They have players from all over the world, and they are diverse. Signing a black player for the sake of diversity is pure tokenism.

Just saying what the article says in response to a guy who just read the title. Not saying it justifies the outrage, did I?

Dread it, run from it, the Reddit hivemind still arrives

lol at you being downvoted for a factually correct observation

[–] Internetwielder@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Not quite understanding that one myself. Just pointing out what the article they obviously didn’t read says, not saying the outrage is justified or anything.

[–] Solivaga@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Absolutely - the comments and voting on this thread are wild.

Disgusting the world we live in where being white is considered racist.

I used to get down about silly threads like this but these days I genuinely find the pearl clutching hilarious

Why are people who clearly never read the article writing stupid posts like this
