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?

The FA's Response

Based

You can't stop the virtue signalling train!

This should be all that is heard of it.

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

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

FA: You've offended Onana.

Onana: No he didn't.

FA: ...How dare you??

Why two gorillas is the other one Maguire?

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

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

This a fair and reasonable take.

Onana: "This matter should go no further"

Reddit: 320 comments and counting

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

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

Classy response on Onana’s part.

Respect 🫡

FA bans Onana for defending racism

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

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.

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.

FA is just a bunch of over-pretentious fellas.

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

Every human is an ape.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 :)

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

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.

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

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 😂

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

Common sense prevails (hopefully).

Manfuctured rascim is undermining real racism and its effect

I'll stay it once and again

Would have been cooler if he said

I know exactly what Garnacho meant: FUCKING BEAST
