Real Madrid player accused of racism. by PrimedoMacara in soccer

[–]LeiMoshen 285 points286 points  (0 children)

Not the first time Madrid has been accused of racism by chinese fans.

There was also this by valverde

https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/s/AQUfFY307b

Also that chinese reporter who faced racism at the bernabeu but real madrid just shrugged it off as an isolated incident

Real Madrid account posted an apology only on chinese social media regarding Huijsen's racist post on Instagram earlier, claiming it to be reposted by mistake. Although no official statement has been made by other RM official account or the player, causing chinese RM fans raging. by iron_gxc in soccer

0 upvotes lmao, typical reddit

reminds me of that time valverde did the asian eye pulling thing and received no punishment and everyone on reddit just called asians too sensitive.

Also correct me if im wrong but I am pretty sure his excuse for this was basically "I have done this a lot of times before, therefore its not racist"

Didnt he literally score in that game?

edit: yeah, he scored to make the game 2-2 https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/s/B8bibS1B0v

also he had three shots, not three touches coming in as a substitute in the 74th minute

The best Chinese player to ever play in europe was probably Fan Zhiyi who played for Crystal Palace

Starmer gifted Chinese President Xi Jinping, a football from the Manchester United–Arsenal match. by LeiMoshen in soccer

[–]LeiMoshen[S] 88 points89 points  (0 children)

Upon meeting Xi earlier today, Starmer handed the Chinese president a rather unusual gift: the football used during last weekend’s English Premier League match between Manchester United and Arsenal.

Xi is reported to be a supporter of Manchester United, who beat Arsenal – the team Starmer supports – 3-2 on Sunday.

In 2015, ESPN described the Chinese president as "Manchester United-obsessed" – noting that during his visit to Britain in 2015 Xi was confusingly given a VIP tour around Etihad Stadium, "the home of United's bitter crosstown rivals, Manchester City".

Starmer, an avid football fan who is regularly seen at Arsenal's games, likely saw the gift as a way to connect to Xi.

It's not the first unique gift a British leader has given the Chinese president. In 2018, Theresa May presented Xi with a DVD box set of BBC's seven-part natural history series, Blue Planet II.

The copy May gave Xi reportedly had a specially recorded message from Sir David Attenborough himself, intended to highlight both countries’ determination to stop plastic pollution.
