Biggest story of the week and not one thread about it. This forum goes to sh1t when I'm not here.

[Cherie]

A link would be good?

[Alf]

A link would be good?Exactly, not 1 posted all week, Arista is losing his touch if you ask me.

[user104658]

Yuck. I've just read up on it but I'm not getting my hands dirty by posting a link. Bunch of silly children being hailed as champions over a load of nonsense and now yet more mind-numbing Trump tweets about it. No thanks. It's hardly the biggest story of the week Alf, it's painful trash journalism at its worst.

Google this if you want folks but I all but guarantee it will ruin your day and lower your faith in western politics even further.

[Livia]

Those rich white boys were taunting a Native American. And their rich parents hired lawyers and publicists and media "experts"...

So the main focus of this story is twofold: 1) No one cares about Native Americans... what claim have they got on the USA anyway? and 2) So long as you've got enough money, we can spin your ridiculous racist, entitled, abhorrent self to look what passes for normal.

And now there's Trump making out that these boys are actually the victims who have been misrepresented and bullied by the media, and talking about inviting them to the Whitehouse like national heroes.

I'm not even saying that they're "villains" but they're daft kids who were being immature and disrespectful... they should be being hauled in by their school and told that... told to apologize... and that should pretty much be the end of it.

It is indeed their parents and other high-profile adults who have decided to laud them as champions and created this circus.

I think it's been big in the US (mainly because they're wearing Trump hats so of course Trump got involved!) but it's not exactly international news...

[user104658]

4th word in this time.

Trump is a major part of the story, as they're wearing MAGA hats and he's been tweeting about it constantly and is the reason it's gained mass media attention? If they weren't wearing MAGA hats the video wouldn't have gone viral in the first place. Have YOU been following the story, Alf? :think: If you have how can you think it's not a Trump story?

[Alf]

I think it's been big in the US (mainly because they're wearing Trump hats so of course Trump got involved!) but it's not exactly international news...You did them 2 on purpose didn't you?

Have YOU been following the story, Alf? :think: If you have how can you think it's not a Trump story?He was actually very late to tweet about it (days) , infact people where asking why he hadn't tweeted and he hasn't tweeted more than once about it to my knowledge (I could be wrong on that)

[Crimson Dynamo]

Thank goodness Alf is on the ball this week, Iv been off looking after me old mum so missed this

How is she?

I personally blame Marsh.

Well, Marshy is my go-to bloke for blame, so... we agree again!

[Alf]

tbf when I googled the story Trump was mentioned in the first paragraph and MAGA the first line.........Of course, the mainstream media hate him, and they're the headlines you're gonna see. But the only link to Trump in this story is that he looks to be proved right when he says that the media is just fake news.

[user104658]

This is the image / video thumbnail that has been representing this story since it went viral;

http://i66.tinypic.com/25uik54.jpg

The fact that the kids are wearing MAGA hats is a major focus and the main reason that the video went viral at all. MAGA hats / the entire MAGA slogan and campaign are inextricably linked with Trump's presidency.

It's a Trump story, there's just no way around that.

[user104658]

I'm pretty sure the kid in the middle and his pal with the phone have escaped from a 1st division football crowd though :hehe:

[Liam-]

The smug look on that kids face though, it’s like looking at a random Trump spawn ugh

mmm wearing the hats kind of represents, imo, the fact that kids think now it's ok to be a racist **** because the President says so. "Make America Great Again" seems to stand for get the dirty immigrants out............although he'd want to check his history with this one

[user104658]

Honestly though if you watch through some of the videos, there's inteview footage of him later and he just looks like a scared little kid. Rabbit caught in the headlights. What a mess all round, really.

[Livia]

He looked pretty confident when he was trying to intimidate the Native American, who is also, I read a veteran. I've been looking at this school... seems they still think blackface is okay. Sorry the link's the Mail...

Strewth.
Absolutely atrocious behaviour.:fist:
I would like to say more but words just fail me on this.:sad:

[Niamh.]

Well I for one am shocked by that news :o

[arista]

He said on NBC
he was sorry and would meet the red indian

He's only sorry because he got caught out

Sure but he is just a 16 year old
he regrets standing there

that bit I'm least surprised by, the old racist defending young racists

but where was the church all these years? the catholic church, after all john paul ii and francis have said and done to undo the historic wrongs of racial and religious discrimination? the bishop should be sacked for starters and the school reformed, jfc!
honestly I'm genuinely shocked... :facepalm:

America finds way of blaming black men for white Catholic boys behavior, the world is unshocked.

[Crimson Dynamo]

So the school colours are black and they are jst face painting like all black rugby fans do?

and they are goading a player from the oppo team like all fans do

looks like a storm in a teacup if you ask me but i will look out my pitchfork just the same



look at these vile racists below

oh wait you mean you lumped 2 nations together and made a sweeping negative stereotype?


how ironic of you

[Nicky91]

new zealand's nickname ''all blacks'' comes more from them playing in dark shirts, in rugby, football, speed skating i saw their Shane Dobbin in a dark speed skating outfit (who isn't that bad, despite them not having good ice and training facilities for this sports event)

[Alf]

He said on NBC
he was sorry and would meet the red indianNo he didn't say he was sorry, the interviewer bizarrely asked him if he was sorry, but as he had nothing to be sorry about, he didn't say that.

I think the American Indian has apologised though.

merely pointing out how one can be hoodwinked by pictures

its not just you so dont feel bad

Your trolling doesn't really work on me. You pointed out nothing, so your only option was to runaway from the post, try and claim victory and put it on me. Good luck with that approach.

The only person trolling im afraid is you with your constant and tiresome use of the term to describe anyone who exposes you on a regular basis.

But again dont let it worry and anger you as it is counterproductive to enjoying your time here on the forum

i know you are angry and wound up that is my point. If you jumped in too quickly without the facts then I get that (you were not alone)

is what I am saying

Its the age old problem of using an image as evidence, happens here all the time

Except you know nothing about my mood, you just think you do. Why would I be angry when you're as transparent as a glass octopus?

I'm sure others are able to see that even this post of yours follows the pattern I've highlighted as your MO.

If you wish to continue a discussion about the subject, I'm down with it, otherwise, this is the same crap you've posted 4 times in a row, so I'm out.

this appears to be off topicI'd say people refusing to acknowledge suspect behaviour where it is quite probable, and doing mental gymnastics to explain away said behaviour as "innocent misunderstanding", is directly ON topic :think:. It's literally what this entire news story is about.

i plainly explained why they were wearing face paint and giving it to rival players as is the norm. i even gave you a n example. I am disappointed you prefer to stick to your assumed prejudice based on a still image but i understand that is essentially the party line.
