[QUOTE="Umaga's Witness, post: 1012017, member: 65365"] Well if that’s the case then frankly I’d rather not see Argentina participate in any of the. KKQoqqo no, I agree John is not classist or xenophobic, John is just a forgiving person who believes matera has changed. That was exactly why my question you quoted was asking ( on the presumption at the time that the Argentinian players had gone on strike) whether the strike meant the players were xenophobic or classist, the unwritten alternative - which I thought sufficiently obvious not to write - was that they were striking because they thought the treatment was unfair because the tweets were some time ago and dont represent who those players are now. also, my first reaction to some posts here was similar to your feeling that people are putting themselves on a pedestal, but in the process of drafting a reply to such posts, I realised the posts don’t necessarily imply that at all, they could just mean people think that even if he has changed that doesn’t exonerate him from punishment, ie If you committed a crime ten years ago and you were caught now then you should still do your time, that sort of argument.
