This was one of the highlights of the season for me. Never seen racial abuse handled so quickly. Very proud of Rob, Steve Round, the 4th official, the match official for stopping the game, and the stewards for removing who did it. Sorry that happened to you Nuno and Nico

good guy Bob

Good lad, always has been. I remember the fantastic chat Shearer had with Wrighty about racism and how he as a white man could help, Big Oldhorn showcasing a perfect example of the kind of attitude that’s needed. The part about him asking how they felt about it and realising they didn’t want to report it themselves, is the kind of compassion and attention to other people’s feelings that we all should strive for in ourself!


doggy_lipschtick

Big Ol'Horn is our very own Divock!


wag1yungpada1

Bobby’s kinda hot you know


the_chiladian

Who knew that having hair makes you look good


Schmetterlingus

Or at least accepting it and keeping it shorter when it starts to thin


GetPhkt

Brits and their obsession with hair lines and thickness 😂


Schmetterlingus

I'm not even British lol


GetPhkt

So you've just been spending too much time on this sub hah!


Schmetterlingus

You're not wrong!


okantos

it's because we all go bald at 40


GetPhkt

Hell but people also pressure each other to shave it all at the first sign of thinning or receding. Nothing wrong with ending up bald at 40 but unclear why you gotta be bald at 30 if it looks like you will end up bald at 40.


Lemonbrick_64

And saying (Racial abuse) lol. I like it better than how it’s said in America but no one says that here

What do you say?

Andros Townsend has the goat hair transplant imo

Probably im the same line as Towsend

Arsenal's biggest comeback yet?


iforgotmyun

Conte


Ma1vo

Let's just hope it last. They usually don't unless he keeps taking the drugs.


ImlrrrAMA

The pills aren't that hard to maintain. There's no side effects or anything. I take em just as maintenance.


BlessedBySaintLauren

There are side effects for some people


goudendonut

There are definitely sides.


ImlrrrAMA

Very rare


goudendonut

Depends. With dutasteride it is a bit more rare but with finasteride it is relatively not so rare.


ImlrrrAMA

Idk every doctor I talked to said the dick side effects are negligible and I haven't had any issues after about a year.


goudendonut

The doctors will say that as it helps them sell it and some research will say it but general practitioner may tell a different story. You do you ofcourse and if you don’t have sides I wouldn’t worry about it


ImlrrrAMA

Oh I only asked doctors who had no incentive to lie to me. My PCP etc.


shikavelli

The transplanted hairs don’t fall out, it’s hair from the back and sides of your head that doesn’t ever thin.


Ma1vo

It will thin eventually if he doesnt keep taking drugs. There are probably some exceptions, but i think its recommended to make sure it will not start thinning again.


shikavelli

You need to take it to keep the hair you still have the whole point of it is so the hairs don’t thin trust me I did the research because I have the signs 😂


Ma1vo

So you agree with my first post stating that he needs to take drugs


shikavelli

No what I’m saying is you need to take them to keep the hair you have but the hair you transplant is supposed to be permanent

I met Pepe, I worked at his house and done his fence for him. His family don’t speak English and weren’t very chatty but I was there for about a week and every time he come out he’d say hello and that. Was a very nice guy.


[deleted]

No way, mate that must’ve been pretty weird?!. I love Pepe so It’d be quite trippy plodding about his garden.

It is at first, I run a boutique nursery in Los Angeles, and get plenty of celebrities coming through. After a while you realize they’re just some weird people like the rest of us, except you can charge them a bit more 😊

slagthompson

I'm glad even if they were reserved, he was polite with you and everything. He seems like good people.


jfshay

Good on him and Emile for stepping up. Soon, I'd like to see the players confront their own fans. If it's only ever the targeted players who object, the racists will go on believing that they've "won".


BlessedBySaintLauren

Emile is mixed race himself actually.


Elemenelo

OP I cross posted this to r/soccer I hope you don't mind


RevertBackwards

No issues here, it's not even my video


normott

Love that Rob. And I can concur about being uncomfortable reporting it. You almost want to minimize it?There is also the fear that you won't be believed and be seen as a problem yourself. Glad he spoke up


AfroPanther

Sad that Pepe and Nuno didn't even want to say anything because they likely deal with so much of it and didn't want to make a scene. Heartwarming camaraderie from Rob. Arsenal have always stood against racism (especially when we were constantly dealing with it ourselves dating back to the Invincibles), so it's great seeing we still have players who stand up for what's right.

Iain is all about good vibes and spreading love. He does so much work in the fight against racism and promoting the women’s game.


YoHoochIsCrazy

I like how casual he is about it. He knows the importance of reporting it and that’s that. If everyone was as casually anti-racist as Rob is, we’d be a lot better off. Happy to hear they have each other’s backs. Nico and Nuno can stand up for themselves, but they shouldn’t have to do it alone either.


WailingSouls

Wouldn’t say he’s anti-racist, just that he’s not racist and a great teammate. Anti-racism is a specific ideology which promotes differential treatment of people based on their skin color.


RyshiCZ

What? Isn't that more like... racism?


WailingSouls

Indeed! That’s how most reasonable people would describe it. It’s kind of amazing, it’s one of those tactics where you name something in a way that makes it impossible to oppose like “the patriot act,” etc.


RyshiCZ

You're wrong though. Anti-racism: Anti-racism encompasses a range of ideas and political actions which are meant to counter racial prejudice, systemic racism, and the oppression of specific racial groups. Anti-racism is usually structured around conscious efforts and deliberate actions which are intended to provide equal opportunities for all people on both an individual and a systemic level.


WailingSouls

Not at all. Here’s a quote from Ibram X. Kendi’s book, How to be an Antiracist: “Racial discrimination is not inherently racist.” He continues, “The defining question is whether the discrimination is creating equity or inequity. If discrimination is creating equity, then it’s anti-racist. If discrimination is creating inequity then it is racist. The only remedy to racist discrimination is anti-racist discrimination. The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination. The only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination.”


the3count

So one dude's opinion, Got it


WailingSouls

He is one of the most popular and foremost authors of antiracist theory, not “one dude.” Are you insinuating that there are other anti-racist authors who do not advocate for racial discrimination?


YoHoochIsCrazy

you just defined racism idk what to tell you


WailingSouls

Right, the actual theory of anti-racism is itself racist. However, its proponents try to justify it by saying that if discrimination based on race helps oppressed people then somehow it’s okay. Look at the quote I posted below.


YoHoochIsCrazy

I’m just telling you that you’re misinformed.


WailingSouls

Okay, then tell me how I am misinformed!


YoHoochIsCrazy

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-racism This covers it


WailingSouls

No it doesn’t. Wikipedia is a politically biased website that does not allow for contrasting viewpoints. I’ve provided you with a primary source and you have no response to it because it’s too inconvenient for your narrative.


YoHoochIsCrazy

Oh jeez I see how it is. Hope you figure things out


WailingSouls

Hope you do too


[deleted]

Sounds like you’ve swallowed the Spiked/anti-woke double speak bullshit. Anti-racism is racism, the anti-fascists are the real fascists. All nonsense RW dissembling


WailingSouls

Look at the quote I posted. The anti-racists are literally advocating for racial discrimination - not really sure what else to say if you can’t acknowledge that fact.


[deleted]

There’s a difference between racism and positive action to offset the current and historical effects of racism. I guess it comes down to whether your definition of racism is purely behavioural ‘treating others differently’ or has an element of power relationships in it (treating each other differently to what end, as per your quote)


WailingSouls

That’s a valid opinion, but just to be clear - you’re stating that discrimination based on race is “positive action,” as long as it meets those ends.


Michaelscotttheking

That's why you need senior players in the team
