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?

lol at you being downvoted for a factually correct observation

[–] Internetwielder@alien.top 1 points 1 year 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.

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