Well obvs Mane is dead boss and everything, we only lost one game and it happened to be one he was out for, but this thread isn't about all that. To be honest I looked for one I could bump coz this isn't that big of a deal, it's a bit of a nothing-international-week post... but all existing Mane related topics are closed.
So, I was just tooling about on twitter and noticed someone I follow moaning about everyone's favourite sycophant Paul Tomkins. He'd been blocked by him. What's weird for me is that as someone who tools around on twitter quite a bit I don't think I've ever seen a tweet by him, and he's got zillions of followers, so he must exist in the opposite corner of social media to me. Long may it continue.
Anyways, last week Tomkins wrote an article in which he compares Mane to a chimp. He went (probably overboard) in his 'i'm absolutely not saying anything racist but' contextualising of his comments, but likened the low centre of gravity and motion which enables him to glide past people and not get knocked off the ball to that of a chimpanzee. I'd have probs said Suarez myself but whatevers. Regardless, his little bit has been copied and pasted all over the place and there's now a global mob of BLM types calling him a racist. Although I can't stand anything he writes and although for a professional writer who charges people to access his site he's clearly made a stupid error, I do feel sorry for him coz, well, I dunno I just tend to feel bad for people who fuck up and get picked on. Having said that anyone trying to talk to him about it is getting blocked and locked out of his site and he's all threatening to quit the internets and everything.
That is all.
