[QUOTE="Cruz_del_Sur, post: 1011768, member: 55747"] You are right. Just to make it 100% clear, his comment about black people had absolutely nothing to do with race but with education, and socioeconomic position. It is just as bad, even worse if u will, but the meaning is different. The comments about Bolivians are quite straightforward thou. No matter the context, the interpretation, the audience, the tweets are all terrible. He had the intention to offend (poor and poorly educated people). That's the difference between him and Cavani's post. Cavani used (almost) the same word but it is clear beyond any doubt Cavani had no intention whatsoever to offend anyone. His target audience was a specific person who, i guarantee you, did not feel offended. I'm curious about one thing maybe one of the resident lawyers could shed some light. I know most pro athlete contact with clubs and sponsors have moral clauses. Do these apply to the actions since the contract is signed or do pre-existing events can trigger a clause too? Any idea what the standard is? What ii find flabbergasting is that no one at UAR, tigers, SF, Visa, Nike, checked his social media. No one. These are people who stand to lose a lot of money and the task (checking his soc media content) would require an intern an afternoon to perform. It's mind-boggling. Nike-Argentina protected its tweeter account because of how many people posted on their timeline about this. [/QUOTE]
