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?

You can't stop the virtue signalling train!

[–] qwerty1519@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This should be all that is heard of it.

[–] LunarRaven7@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] shoxjr@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Thats like saying: Black people call themself nig*** all them time. Hence why I called him that

[–] KOKO69BISHES@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

If you ignore all the context and historical significance around it, sure, same thing

[–] Magnific3nt@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] mynameismulan@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

FA: You've offended Onana.

Onana: No he didn't.

FA: ...How dare you??

[–] Sapaio@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Why two gorillas is the other one Maguire?

[–] ThankYouOle@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] JAYZ303@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

swings

Is that a racist metaphor? Banned.

[–] pilgrim05@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

and it's a massive sword too

[–] HowtoHaveaGoodName@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] FauxGenius@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This a fair and reasonable take.

[–] HanshinFan@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Onana: "This matter should go no further"

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

[–] SanitizexHands@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] More_You_681@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Classy response on Onana’s part.

Respect 🫡

[–] as017@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

FA bans Onana for defending racism

[–] aro_plane@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] karnnumart@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] el_corso@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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! 😂

[–] RepeatDTD@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Done and done.

[–] boomer959@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

FA is just a bunch of over-pretentious fellas.

[–] sonnydabaus@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] jasonketterer@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Every human is an ape.

[–] VValtherB@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] redditsuckz99@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Sad monke noises

[–] iEatPastaForaLiving@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] captsubasa25@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] turdy_tree_n_a_turd@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] evilbob99@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Is this not enough to close the matter

[–] stpstrt@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Ficnkle@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] ashwinsalian@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] NachoMartin1985@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Sirdystic1@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Nofap_du_Plessis@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] HansAlan@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] JohnnySnow99@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] parmesanandhoney@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] PocketFullOfRondos@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] iestebanez@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Using a gorilla/silverback emoji to compliment your team members after a win is 100% different from shouting or mimicking a gorilla to insult someone. I mean… Onana should be the first one to call a racist insult out if it was the case. Garnacho being argentinian does not help and the internet went mad 😂

[–] thisiskyle77@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Greenwood Gf should come out with the same statement. It might quell some outrage.

[–] Kaisah16@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Common sense prevails (hopefully).

[–] stoneandnjpwfan@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Manfuctured rascim is undermining real racism and its effect

I'll stay it once and again

[–] TheSchminx@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Would have been cooler if he said

I know exactly what Garnacho meant: FUCKING BEAST
