The media wants to dictate what is and what isn't offensive, good on Onana

Onana: "This matter should go no further"

Reddit: 320 comments and counting

How dare you! FA has a final say! /s

This the year 2046, the contract of United striker Castello has been cancelled because of his social media post containing a yellow smiley emojis which is viewed as an insult to the Chinese community.

Manfuctured rascim is undermining real racism and its effect

I'll stay it once and again

That should put this matter to bed, it won't, but it should.

Garnacho isn’t racist but why is everyone acting like racists don’t equate black people to primates? Isn’t it Eugenics 101?

You can't stop the virtue signalling train!

This is the biggest issue in todays society, someone getting offended on other behalfs.

This should be all that is heard of it.

Not really racist, araujo refers to himself with the gorilla emoji.

Why two gorillas is the other one Maguire?

FA: You've offended Onana.

Onana: No he didn't.

FA: ...How dare you??

“This matter should go no further” that’s a man right there. Onana swings his own sword.

This a fair and reasonable take.

Classy response on Onana’s part.

Respect 🫡

I’m not sure why everyone here is mad about people perceiving gorilla as a racist remark

Like yeah out of context it would look like a racist remark to me too

People are aware of history

Such a non story. Maybe the FA should focus on real issues, not imagined ones.

Focus is on this BS instead of Onanas performance and single handed winning the game in the last minute.

Obviously not racist or motivated by racism and will be blown out of proportion but jesus fucking christ any danger of just some common sense?

All I know is according to FIFA all you mfr’s who are discussing this topic need to be banned for 10 months a minimum! 😂

Done and done.

Didn't he mean "beast" or something? Are we really gonna ban people over Emoji? Then allowing these emoji to exist in the first place is racist then.

FA is just a bunch of over-pretentious fellas.

FA bans Onana for defending racism

Do people really think he would be racist towards his own teammate? Lol

Every human is an ape.

Sad monke noises

Bissouma uses the gorilla emoji in lots of tweets, and it’s in his Twitter name 🦍❤️

The problem is that the FA operates without critical thinking and is coming purely from a white, British-American ethnocentric view of the world. These old dying boomers will benefit from a cultural awareness class.

Serious question here... So where's all the fuss about Kobe and Black mamba and Auba and Black Panther?

Is this not enough to close the matter

Appropiating Latinos is more racist that whatever Cavani & Garnacho supposedly did.

This stuff posted by a team mate/friend is harmless and in good spirit.

If same stuff is posted by a opposition player or a fan, it becomes terribly offensive and racist.

That's the truth. The duality of interpretation is ironical.

Welcome to politically correct era Onana...it sucks I know :)

The FA's Response

I wish people compared me to a gorilla. Unfortunately I’m more like a macaque.

Where is this gonna end? Why are people so sensitive? Im done 😓

What the FA doesn't know is that Garnacho is actually a peronist and he is calling Onana a gorilla for voting for Milei.

I'd say that the FA might be racist for considering a pic with a gorilla emoji racist.

Someone needs to explain uk law to him. It doesn’t matter if the recipients is offended, if someone else sees, or overhears something and THEY are offended, your nicked

Just to add, when I saw the post I thought the 2 gorillas referred to Onana AND Maguire. I read it as him calling them beasts basically

This is the best response. I'm sorry you assumed he was racist when he posted a monkey

Common sense prevails (hopefully).
