You're an idiot, OP. Soccer is especially popular across South America and Europe.

There are murals and all sorts of things put up in homage to players across a range of skin colours and ethnicities, but because you see this about ablacksportsman, you try to be all smart and post some dumb cr@p. (Where is your post about Cristiano Ronaldo's statuettes or Brazilian Ronaldo's popularity in the noughties? Or Denmark's early love for Schmeichel?)

I bet you'd complain if a pure black billionaire made it to number 6 on the Forbes Billionaire List. You'd probably post something like "oh, affirmative action got him there" or "loads of whities helped him up the ladder" or some other similar dumb sh*t, but pass over all of the other multibillionaires on the list who probably climbed up in the same or similar fashion - or worse!

Perhaps if we pretended the black sportsman was Chinese instead of black, you wouldn't post such cr@p. The way some of you c*nts rail on about black folk, you'd think Black armies invaded the villages of your ancestors and pillaged and raped and whatnot. Freaking hell and I'm not even a Liberal Leftie SJW and even I'm annoyed!
