Please don't drag racism into the mix. Saying someone is racist for questioning the attitude of a player is just crazy talk. Agree or disagree with the comment by all means, don't throw that at someone without real evidence.
For the record, he is wrong. A racist? I doubt it.
Why not?
Person says black player has a bad attitude or is lazy for no valid reason. Doesn’t make any similar comments around white players. Why is that?
It’s an old trope used against black players over the last however many years. It’s total rubbish, it needs calling out.
