Well, if a random fan posted this on twitter there would be an outrage.
You can look at it from both sides, just not a smart thing to do on Bernardo's side.

So..Peanut M&Ms? :rofl:

I can’t believe Bernardo is being charged for this.


Mendy said he wasn’t offended, but other busybody degenerates were offended “on his behalf.”

Definitely not a smart thing and I see that they have to set a precedent, but if Bernardo sent an over exaggerated picture of Stones no one would bat an eye. Him and Mendy are like best friends.

I’m sure it’ll only be 1 game.


I get the fact that Mendy isn't offended etc, but it's just not smart to do this on social media where everyone can watch. It just provokes the wrong attention and thoughts and will only result in problems like these.

If you don't like it, unfollow the person. People need to chill. Get offended about anything nowadays. :rofl:

It's pretty dumb. There is a full on campaign going around against racism and then Bernard Silva posts this? I don't find it offensive but it's just stupid, incredibly stupid.

tbh, it's about as smart as just letting the world become a censorfest run by conservative puritans or oversensitive SJWs.

The fact that stupid friends aren't allowed to make stupid jokes without them being policed is pretty worrying.

Not to mention that it always baffles me how in England the FA often intervenes on off the pitch issues and private affairs as if it was their business.

Totally agree that it should be fine, but in this day and age you just simply need to pay attention and be careful. I'm just saying that right now it wasn't the smartest of ideas with the whole kick it out campaign, recent issues in Italy and the whole Sterling saga aswell.

Racism campaign has nothing to do with this. It looks like Mendy, it was a fun joke. KDB looks like the Milky Bar Kid, if someone tweeted that would there be an outcry of racism?

It wasn't even remotely stupid, there was absolutely nothing wrong, white people will cry about racism and try to jump to the defence of blacks at any slight opportunity. Nobody involved in this was to know SJW's would cry about it.

Everything is easier in hindsight. I commend him on his tweet, have fun with your friends, that's what life is about.

It's a difficult one - on one hand the general public is dumb, I can't stress enough how fucking pigshit stupid the general public is, and if they see a footballer do it on social media they will think it's an ok thing to do without giving a thought to the circumstances, and on the other hand it's clearly just banter between friends where both people directly involved are neither offended or meant to offend anyone.
