From role model calling for poor children to be guarenteed at least one meal a day to vilan for missing a penalty

What really gets to me (other than the blatant racism) is that if he had committed a crime like domestic abuse but went on to score the winning penalty, the very people who did this would be making excuses for him now and blaming it on his wife/girlfriend.

Our notion of what's important and what defines someone is really messed up.

Somebody wrote the word f*** on the mural. They were probably very annoyed about the fact he missed a penalty. There was no reference to his colour or his ethnicity. I don't see how this graffiti could be construed as being racist.

@Glossy I don't know what the graffiti said word for word but I'm sure if that was all there was to it then this wouldn't be the response.

Police are treated the graffiti as 'racially aggravated' vandalism.

But I suppose this means you don't see an issue here.

@EuphoricTurtle Racism is bad enough without people making things up. I saw the graffiti before it was covered up and there was no racist element in it.

@Glossy then why are they treating it as racially aggravated vandalism? (This is an honest question btw)
