Surely it cannot be the n word. Is it really reasonable for a team to stop playing a game because a black opponent called a player the n word, when that player is not black and there are no black players in his team? Surely not.
I always thought it would probably be the N-word.
Maybe Abdurisag is a big fan of various African American rappers. Hearing the N-word continously though his head phones could skew, right from wrong in the head of any young impressionable not so smart 23 yr old, without a great knowledge of modern Western values & sensibilities. The Qatari mangement have just gone into coverup mode.
I remember working with a lovely, shy guy who was around 19/20 and was studying English from movies on his own time.
There was this big training exercise role play involving moving bunches of people ( with varying English abilities ) around 5 different rooms. Around 40 minutes in the trainer was getting a little frazzled and asked the dude to move with a group to one of the other stations to which he replied
“Screw You!”
Which was a complete surprise attack and somewhat broke the trainer! I’m still not sure to this day how much he meant it…I think he thought it might be a good joke or something…
