Dr. Gonzo Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I mean, him playing in China does make him more likely to have coronavirus than if United were signing a striker that wasn't in China. I don't think it's racist to say this coronavirus (that's got countries and airlines stopping flights in and out of China) is from China. Because it did originate in Wuhan, which is in China.

No one seriously believes Ighalo has coronavirus just cos he's in China ffs. That’s up there with the daftest thing posted on here and we’ve had Brian on here for years. 1 minute ago, Dr. Gonzo said: I mean, him playing in China does make him more likely to have coronavirus than if United were signing a striker that wasn't in China.

Bit racist to say he’s got it based off the fact he’s in China and nothing else. Shanghai is over 800km away from Wuhan but he’s got it, because, you know, he’s in China.

DeadLinesman Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 The very definition of racism comes from somebody thinking they’re of a superior race. This hasn’t happened here. Prejudging someone to have a virus due to their geographical location isn’t racism. At all. There’s been cases in every province of a China, not just Hubei. There’s no discrimination against Ighalo and it’s clear a joke with no antagonistic content. I’m off the bed. Goodnight all X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Gonzo Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I'm pretty sure it's all over China now tbh, it's also spread outside China as well. It's more a joke about United signing a player from China at a time where the rest of the world seems pretty terrified of anyone traveling from China. Rather than a racist joke about Chinese people being disease ridden, or however that's been read into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnivore Chris Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 If this virus came from Germany, United were about to sign Haaland and people made the same joke, would that be racism aswell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Unbelievable really, United were so close to signing Haaland, when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer went out himself to speak to his fellow countryman Haaland about a move to United. But unfortunately for United, they missed out on signing the best teenage player in the world. Instead they have signed an ex-Watford player who has showed his lack of ambition by going to play in China when he was only 27 years of age. Don't get me wrong, I think that ability wise, Ighalo is a decent player. But he is more a player for a mid-table Premier League club and not a club like Man United who have much higher expectations. Imagine the improvement Haaland would of made to United's front line, unfortunately I don't think that Ighalo will have half the impact that a player like Haaland would of made. But this is typical United, they miss out on signing world beaters and eventually opt for players with much less ability. Oh and guys, lets not be racist towards the Chinese, the Africans or Indians or Middle Easterners or any other group of people. That's low level stuff, lets rise above that and just enjoy this beautiful game we call football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted February 2, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted February 2, 2020 Gary Neville hit it on the head. Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville believes the deal for Ighalo shows poor transfer planning. (Sky Sports) Nigeria striker Odion Ighalo's agent says he spoke to Manchester United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward for a few days before the 30-year-old completed his deadline-day move. (Aftenposten, via Express) Ighalo was shocked by United's deadline-day move after it had appeared the deal would not be happening. (Mail) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mpache Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 I hate to break this to you all, but making racist jokes is still racist. Maybe not maliciously but it's still racist to say things like Ighalo has Coronavirus juat cos he is in China. I'm with @Smiley Culture on this one even though he had a pop at me. Honestly there's no winning when Stan and Phil team up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never once said what you posted was wrong because it wasn't malicious. Jokes are fine, but it's still racism I'm afraid. Saying Ighalo has coronavirus just because he is in China is racist, whether you like it or not. Think you're a bit blinded by your own want to always be right, as usual. Hell, I make racist jokes all the time and I admit they are racist. I'm just careful around who. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mpache Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 You know what the funniest thing is, I haven't thrown around one insult in the past few days. All I've done is argue my case and that's royally pissed Phil off. Mate, you complain about me being sensitive but you get all touchy if someone disagrees with you. Now that you've gone months encouraging me and Teso to not throw insults, you've done it yourself just cos you don't like my tone. "Arguing with staff, insufferable bore" etc. Proves my point that some people can't win if it's up against someone who's been on the forum 10 years. It's beyond embarrassing.
