If the guys got enough power and your career in the industry is over if you challenge it then well maybe are left uncomfortable and sad but stay quiet. seems loads of people knew the Weinstein stuff even if he didn't walk into a room grabbing T&A but no-body said anything.

Plenty of cases where the bloke with the power gets away with it even though people 'know'

It's also worth noting that this sort of power will not help you were there to be a tragic accident.

A social media message containing "racist references" posted by Russian club Spartak Moscow "shows a shocking level of ignorance", says the chief of anti-discriminatory body Fare.

Spartak tweeted a video of some black players training in sunny conditions with a message translating as "see how the chocolates melt in the sun".

Jaysus. Why would a PoC play in Russia if there were any other alternatives?
 
No, Russia looks amazing. It's the Russians that seem to be largely shit.
They have a superiority complex of sorts, I reckon. The biggest country on earth with a big population, plus they're mad bastards who seem to be as tough as old boots. They absorbed everything the Nazis threw at them then crushed then below their feet.

Plus, they're bonkers. Have I mentioned that?
 
I often think the same about Dantes.
We've seen evidence that you're bonkers, now you need to show us evidence of being able to withstand the brutality of the Russian winter before hammering the 6th army in the ruins of Stalingrad.
 
By the way, should this amount to you calling Russia a shithole, then I'm afraid you may be racist doc.

I think the argument here ist he fact that after a racist tweet about Black people, Doc has the teremity to put the blame on poc.
Like hey black ppl seriously ya fucked up cos you shudda known Russia is full of racist weirdos,why did you even go.
Rather than challenge the Russian racism.

Victim bashing doc

I'm not victim bashing. Russian racism IS to blame. I'm just saying, if I was a black dude with footballing skillz and was weighing up offers from various leagues, I'd be avoiding Russia.

Nah. I've thought the same thing loads. Why bother going to a place where every cunt hates you when you can just chill somewhere else? It's not victim blaming, it's a valid question. If I was black there is no fucking way I'd go live in Russia.
 
Oh I completely agree gents, and totally get where you are coming from, often done that myself thinking about holiday destinations.
The post was a bit tongue in cheek

I guess it depends on the players choice, there's a few brazillian/african lads who play in Russia and presumably they see it as a stepping stone?
Guess few years there then move onto to the big leagues.
Presumably, some of dual ownership of the brazillian also make the choice not so fully in their hands but pressure from owners. I don't know the motivation, maybe it's money for a bit ?
