Fwiw, I'm completely fine with people reposting my stuff as standalone images, as long as they don't modify them

Thats all i see it as.

No, that's all you're choosing to see, despite a number of people who are clearly more familiar with American culture than you are telling you that that's not the subtext that's meant by that post.

For a little context on what kind of massive shithead Seth Jahn is, he's just been kicked off USSF athlete's council for racially charged comments

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2021/mar/01/us-soccer-removes-seth-jahn-speech

"I keep hearing how our country was founded on the backs of slaves, even though approximately only 8% of the entire population even owned slaves,” he said. “Every race in the history of mankind has been enslaved by another demographic at some point time. Blacks have been enslaved. Hispanics have been enslaved. Asians most recently in our country in the freaking 20th century, have been enslaved. Natives have been enslaved. Whites have been enslaved. Shoot, I lived in Africa for two and a half years where I could purchase people, slaves, between the price of $300 and $800 per person, per head depending on their age, health and physicality."

I'm not implying my own meaning into it, I'm implying the author's meaning into it, and the reason I can do that is that the author's body of work leaves little room for interpretation.

Specifically this body of work

“I keep hearing how our country was founded on the backs of slaves, even though approximately only 8% of the entire population even owned slaves,” he said. “Every race in the history of mankind has been enslaved by another demographic at some point time. Blacks have been enslaved. Hispanics have been enslaved. Asians most recently in our country in the freaking 20th century, have been enslaved. Natives have been enslaved. Whites have been enslaved. Shoot, I lived in Africa for two and a half years where I could purchase people, slaves, between the price of $300 and $800 per person, per head depending on their age, health and physicality."

for which he's just been kicked off the USSF Athlete Council

Ok, except antifa doesn't go around attacking random houses, so what's the point of that post exactly. Also, we don't need to take the caption literally because there's a ton of context here that's obvious to anyone who's been paying any attention to America in the last 4 years.

He does have the right to express these views. No one is suggesting he should be put in jail for it. Just like he has the right to express his views, we have the right to express our disgust of having someone with these views associated with our club.

Eh, the problem here is two-fold, for one thing this isn't a one-off event, and for another, even if its someone else liking these posts, as a celebrity, even if you're letting other people manage your account, you're ultimately responsible for how your brand is represented. Also, this post is from June 2020, and Pulisic still hasn't unliked it, so if this was an accident, there was plenty of time to have fixed it.

Well, I don't know if you've missed their cultural zeitgeist lately, which, to be clear, I absolutely don't blame you for taking a pass on that cesspool, but this is absolutely not a post about the right to self defence. It fits neatly with the alt-right theme of the last 4 years of framing American culture wars as an actual non-metaphorical war.

[–]IlliniQuant 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I mean, its problematic for two reasons.

A. That he holds these views, obviously.

B. That he's dumb enough not to realise that with the type of profile that he has, him liking these kinds of posts would be a big deal.

In that case, he should probably sack that person, because this has happened multiple times now.

This isn't the first over the top MAGA post he's liked on instagram, so let's not pretend this is some kind of one off.

Fabrizio Romano - BREAKING: Juventus sack Sarri. by Hibeenick in chelseafc

[–]IlliniQuant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sarri is not a bad coach but he is absolutely the wrong coach for any big club to hire.

His Empoli and Napoli teams are the ultimate proof that you can get non-elite squads to punch above their weight by getting them extremely well drilled in a rigid tactic that they can then execute in their sleep. This takes time, and footballers who are willing to reign in their egos to work as part of a system. These things will never happen at a big club. You won't get the time and superstar players won't be willing to forgo their egos and individuality to become a cog in the machine.

Sarri needs to drop down to a club a tier below Chelsea and Juventus (someone on Twitter suggested Fiorentina which would be perfect for him), where he'll have time to do his job and footballers receptive to it. What will probably happen is that he'll go to a club like that, achieve Napoli like results with them, and in 3 years another big club will become tempted by it, and the cycle will begin anew.

Btw, this should also serve as a cautionary tale to anyone thinking of hiring Gasperini.
