I don't think people know what racism is anymore. They call everything racist.
Please proceed what is racism if not claiming you don't want to be associated with them or have them in the dressing room?
The comments that "surfaced" are from about 7 years ago, ,doesn't translate to what the headlines were, and even so, he put out a statement regarding the whole thing a few days later.
You will have to travel far to find a kinder, more level-headed and more-well meaning athlete than Rakitic.
One clumsy mistranslated and misinterpreted statement and the HF boys label the dude a racist.
(although what racism has to do with any sort of sexuality, I don't know)
EDIT: Although I see old Evilo now says Rakitic said he doesn't like playing with black people.
Which wasn't even in that poorly translated, misinterpreted interview.
But F it, if you're dumping on the guy, why not just make things up as you go along.
The quotes are pretty damning. How are they not homophobic and racist? Even if they were 7 years ago there is no time limit on the disgusting remarks.
I don't even want to dump on the guy and actually didn't want to believe the comments were real. He plays for my favourite team and I liked him just enough. Never had anything bad to say about him. Actually liked him... sooo
