Mendy

Recommended Posts

Overcoming things like homophobia or racism is countries like the UK or US will take generations of change.

We can’t take a racist and force him to not be that way.  The best thing we can do is try to understand why they think the way they do, and educate them to overcome.  
For example, check out the great things Daryl Davis has done.  He’s done it with understanding and education - not shaming or ridiculing, which is a lot of peoples first reaction.

I only came on this thread to see if we were keeping Mendy or getting rid. 

Seagrave re-education wing.

Matchsticks in the eyelids and a season of the Canadian National Gay Flag Football League (NGFFL)

Brendan currently reviewing the Europa League campaign next to him, so Mendy gets of pretty lightly

EDIT. Just realised that Clockwork Orange aversion therapy would be contrary to desired outcome, but hey ho, the scenario amused me anyway

If Mendy is being homophobic,, we should move him on.  

 

This is in the same week that the first current pro football player came out.  Respect to Jake Daniels.  There are probably hundreds of secretly LGBTQ+ players in the professional game.

 

Many people aren't cis and straight.  Some of the Senegalese team need to grow up. As role models, they should rise above their limitations.

 

Mendy chose to show support.  Drop him. Bin him.

We know the position of only ONE member of the Senegalese team (Gueye)…

So quit making prejudiced presumptions about “some of the Senegalese team” anymore than one could make about some of the England team.

Several have backed Gueye.  You are calling me prejudiced for objecting to prejudice.

Didn’t know that…:blush:

 

Nor the context in which they supposedly “backed” him. Please expound.

I read about it on twitter following seeing the story o  here.

 

When I say 'some' Senegal players, it recognises it is not everyone.

Mendy has been great , his work rate is fantastic, he fetches and goes forward , I would give him a new contract 

Those stats above suggest that’s decidedly not true.

 

He’s fine for what he is as an emergency squad player who recycles the ball and you’d hope only plays 4 or 5 times a season.

 

But I’d get frustrated as feck if he was starting every week. He breaks up our potential counter-attacks so often by turning round and passing it backwards when there’s players in running into space ahead of him. 

 

Basically, he’s the perfect proponent of the “Rodgers-ball” people have moaned about as boring all season when you pass the ball aimlessly side to side 100 times for no real reason.
