Before reacting, consider that this is a 22 year old who is likely clueless about the reality of America. I posted this primarily because it showcases how deluded young people can be in the context of all the propaganda and misinformation that is pushed on society relentlessly. Also, there IS a lot of racism by sports fans in Europe - stuff that would be shouted down and never accepted here. This kid needs to realize that it's not most Americans he has to worry about.

But they might accept him for the content of his character................ That is more important.

Yeah? Still needs a giant slap to the head and dressed down as a moron....as do the people who put this tripe into the head of this individual.
Sickening, gak.

Where did this “monkey noises” offense happen? Europe? I can’t imagine anything like that happening in the USA, and if I heard something like that, I wouldn’t be able to stand by and ignore it.

Yes. Europe. The same Europe that claim we are the racists.

"I went back home to Dallas and I'm afraid to drive at night just because I don't know what's going to happen if I get pulled over. I'm representing a country that possibly doesn't even accept me just for the color of my skin. Utter bullshite, plus he's not representing any country as fall as I could tell from the article.
Also, George Floyd didn't die because he was held down; he died because he had a belly full of drugs which caused some sort of heart failure. He did NOT die from asphyxiation.

"This year, at the beginning of the season, we played and the fans after the game were making monkey noises at me," McKennie said in a video produced by Adidas. "It's devastating. Well, here is another brand I'm for shunning. Adidas is woke, oh how nice!

USMNT, I had to look it up. It’s professional soccer.
No further comment necessary.

He is free to leave at any time and never come back. Maybe he would feel safer in the Congo or Nigeria.

Nah he needs to STFU or have sense knocked into him by walking through brownsville, Brooklyn at 3am.
I dated a gal over there for a few years.
A Puerto Rican gal. Crimes and cops constantly.
I’ll be glad to drive him and we can hang out against my car for a few hours listening to music from 3 to 5am.
He won’t last a half hour before crying like a b.tch to be taken away from there.
I used to love blasting Italian Opera when I was waiting for the gal to come down :)
Got a kick out of the confused looks on the Bloods’ faces.
This punk..they’ll eat him ailve.

Invite him to come down here to the feared South. We have black police officers and sheriff’s, we have towns and cities in which blacks are city councilors and mayors, we have many black judges, we have all black colleges, and on and on. He has nothing to fear but fear itself. (thank you Mr. Churchill)

I doubt this crap would go on from the US Rugby team. If you are good, you play. People accept you. If you suck, you can carry the water.
Easy peasy.
Soccer players seem feminine.
