It's interesting, I didn't think we called people black or white in this country, everyone I know refers to people by ethnicity not skin color. Black, white, Tory, MAGA - this really doesn't feel like a NZ forum.
Personally I don't care what the skin color of the person is or what they say, just that offense was given by someone who should have known better.
We're guessing the word but no one has said it officially. Even then, I can't think of any way that word was uttered in that circumstance (just after a tackle) in a way that wasn't meant to offend and antagonise people. It was a heat of the moment thing but it is a very loaded word.
I feel like you're tieing yourself in knots trying to support an unsupportable position imanixsupporter.
Anyway, this is going nowhere I suggest we just all wait and see what FIFA say.
