I don't think Southgate can be criticised for his actions, whenit seems obvious he is trying to get ahead of the social media event this was always going to bring out. He was damned if he did nothing, and damned if he tried to stay ahead and control what he could.
The jerkoff was Sterling and his actions.

I thought he had matured under Peps guidance .
His football has but his behaviour ( depending on what story you believe) is open to question.

That’s a bit steep for a bit of Bantz.
Or is it lenient for racism?

Well John Barnes has just stated on Radio 5, if I understood him correctly, that he doesn't consider it to be racist.
Indeed it would seem that he is suggesting that those who complained are themselves doing so as they consider black skin to be a negative.

Was it a tweet of him comparing Mendy to a cartoon character ?! Was it really racist ?
I don’t know how we could judge it racist ? Was anyone offended by it ? Did Mendy complain that he felt it was racist
It’s a very strange one and I’m not sure if there is a right answer
And how can a bunch of white men in suits in the FA decide what is racist to a black man ?
It certainly didn’t seem to be a insult based on his race 🤔

Maybe being simplistic but if what he tweeted was not racist why has he been fined and banned.?

Because other people felt the need to get offended on behalf of Mendy and as a result Silva was charged.

Ban seems very weak considering Harvey Elliot got a 2 week ban for calling Kane a mong on a private WhatsApp.

Just because other people might be offended .
They must have spoken to Mendy.
So to fine and ban him there must be something to find him guilty.
It’s not nice to be accused of this and it seems sometimes people have to prove themselves innocent and not the other way around, not the easiest thing to do .

As a white person I don't think that I am in any position to determine if a comment is or isn't racist.
Without being patronising I would say that John Barnes is far better qualified than me.

Are Harvey Elliot and Harry Kane team mates, best friends and known each other for years?
As I’m sure it’s nothing to do with Elliott being a Lpool player and admitting it was a stupid senseless act and it being leaked on Twitter.
Move on Dave, not everything is about you lot.

Nobody sayings that, but it’s not even the same offence, it’s like asking why somebody got done more for speeding than the person drink driving.

Yes. A bunch of elderly white men decided that because the professionally offended got offended that they must be seen to be doing something even though Mendy himself said he had no problem with the original tweet.
I'm not sure i go along with this notion that white middle aged can't have an opinion on what should be deemed as racist. Obviously they haven't gone through the same experiences. But surely that helps rule. Out them having a prejudice in making a decision. Surely ruling someone's opinion out based on their skin colour is in itself racist 🤯
In this case I think it was more a case or people being offended for the sake of it. But it was a black caricature, which as has been shown in previous cases can be deemed as racist.
Its a minefield. For me though the FA bottled. If they find him guilty of racism then it has to be more than a 1 match ban.

If a word or term is rascist, it's rascist no matter what colour of skin the person saying it has.
