Double standards.



Did El hadji diouf ever go to court for calling the ball boy



..........White boy ?...........

[magicmick]

Like Terry he has a chequred past,

[Mick-Talbot]

But unlike Terry he never had to appear infront of a court to explain himself...........did he ?

[tonyav]

He ought to have been done for stupid hair cuts.

[magicmick]

Don't think so mick his wrong doings were sorted out at club level or the fa spitting, fighting, etc

[Mick-Talbot]

Can I assume the usual 'news posters' are doing their research ?

[magicmick]

I did not know he had been arrested and bailed with Anton Ferdinand for fighting at a night club in Manchester I do not know the outcome of that?

[jno]

that would be because "white boy" isn't abuse. If he'd called him a bleeping white bleep, the courts would have taken an interest.

[Mick-Talbot]

Nonsense, jno


F**k off white boy

That is what he allegedly said to the boy.

[Mick-Talbot]

On 20 September 2009, Diouf was questioned by police after allegations that he had made a racist slur to a ball-boy during a match at Everton, telling him to "flump off, white boy".[46] Diouf defended his actions by saying that the ball-boy had thrown the ball to him "like a bone to a dog"


Nice.

[jno]

ah, that wasn't the question in your original post.

I don't think eff off counts as abuse either, though I could be wrong; it's not name-calling.

But since it seems he could have called him a bleeping white bleep and it still wouldn't have been racial abuse, I'm not sure what your point is?

[bundleone]

People say things in anger, 'four eyes' 'goofy' ' ginger' 'black' anything that the caller isn't, usually with the added b----d, these things should not need expensive court cases, adults should be able to take name calling, we had to when we were kids.

[anotheoldgit]

Yet another fine example of 'double standards' in play.

Why is it double standards?

Police were called and investigated. Are you privvy to their notes? Have you compared the notes of the John Terry case?

Are you accusing the police in the El Hadji Diouf case of corruption? Sweeping the matter under the carpet, because the alleged victim was white?

How do you know that the police didn't bring charges through lack of evidnce (unlike the John Terry case, where we all got to lip read what he said via the power of YouTube)?

Just questions...

You wrote:

Difference is, as a kid you could react to name calling by giving the caller the slap he/she deserves. As an adult you can't - you'd be arrested for assault.

[ludwig]

I think his defence at the time was that he didn't tell the white boy to 'F off', he simply asked him to 'Play that funky music'.

So sharp you might cut yourself...

;-)

[Mick-Talbot]

I find your answers on previous threads about Diouf and Terry very interesting sp.

[Mick-Talbot]

So a black adult can say to a white teenager 'f*** off white boy'

and that's ok is it?


What do you think would happen if I went out today and shouted 'f*** off black boy' to a random black child in the town centre today ?

[brionon]

A childish spat between Footballers should Never have gone to Court.

[Mick-Talbot]

I'm trying to understand why it did and the el hadji diouf incident did not brionon.

F off white boy .... ok

F ing black c .... not ok


Time and time again I have read on AB that if you use the word 'black' in an insult then it is racist. Why is it not the same when it is the other way round ?
