I was just in a raging mood on the Lewandowski thing - I prefer Kane but acknowledge Robert was world-class. It's more that everyone loves him and protects him from criticism that bothers me.I don't think it is as bad as you try and paint it to be. Not in sport, where the only true reference is the athletic performance.
Otherwise, I am certain that in other, non sport aspects of life, it came to the point where playing the racist card has reached the pivotal point where otherwise talented and, more importantly, competent people are blatantly ignored and dismissed over mediocrity driven by things like the Affirmative Action and what is now known as DEI.
I am not going to dwell on this any further
I won't change my mind. I've lived long enough and seen enough to have my own stance on this.
Besides, this is Lewandowski thread and your raging posts, although mostly substantively arguable, they were literary sweet, almost poetic, and cracked me up quite a bit... which is good.
Affirmative action is the other side of the coin, indeed. It's a very delicate balancing act; how do you respect and acknowledge black people, without going the entire other way and overcompensating and apologising for being white? It's a very difficult and sensitive subject.
