Oh shut up marxist moron

Call in racist or not.. Cootes friend used the word German in a slanderous manner.

The irony

[CCTV]

In “other languages” you can label many things as you like - there is often no direct translation for many words in English.

But in the English language - which is the language in question race has zero to do with nationality. As you well know

There are other ways to look at it, maybe you're not able to view it any other way.

[justme]

I am not playing word games at all.

Come on how would you describe Klopp’s nationality?

You plonker why was he BOOTED out by the FA?? he used the word German in a derogatory manner

[justme]

That's really not true..

David Coote, a Premier League referee, was sacked by the Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) in December 2024 following an investigation into his conduct. The primary reasons for his termination were:

Derogatory Comments: A video circulated on social media that appeared to show Coote making offensive remarks about Liverpool and their former manager, Jürgen Klopp.

Breach of Contract: The PGMOL stated that his actions were in "serious breach" of his employment contract, making his position "untenable."

There are other ways of looking at everything. But suggesting that a nationality is the same as a race - is clearly false..

[Crimson Dynasty]

In other languages race is related to the language spoken, or the nation of that race.

So you can easily define a person as German race, or German-Speaking race.

This is incorrect.

You're conflating ethnicity with race.
They're not the same thing nor interchangeable.

Language is typically related to, and deritive of ethnicity and more pointedly of culture.
Not necessarily (nor strictly) to or of nationality.

There are very few (if any) monoethnic nations in the world left today in which you could argue that the ethnicity and race of the people is singular (and therefore) interchangeable with the nationality or the national identity.

Even in Africa and sub-Saharan Africa where some would be wont to equate "black" with the countries as their singular identity, it's mostly not true anymore thanks to colonialism and immigration where you have native non-black people that are "African" born, raised and culturally African, but not "black" in the sense of their race.
Places like Japan used to be considered monoethnic due to their strong homogenuity in their ethnic composition, but even they today are more diverse in terms of their ethnic and racial diversity to be considered strictly monoethnic anymore.

There's no such thing as a "German race" - at least not in the English language (which is why you probably tried to qualify it by claiming this to be the case in other languages. It doesn't work that way in English).

Nor a "...German-speaking race"

There is a German nationality (defined by national border but not by a single ethnicity or race), ....or a Germanic Ethnicity (Not specifically defined by, nor confined to national borders, as it's found throughout Europe, including within the British Isles, all the way up to the British monarchy who have Germanic heritage and roots.)

Errrr what comment what was used that was the worst? any? Its likely the criticism of him being "German" was the worst and all in likelihood got him removed..

"Xenophobia and racism are similar as both has roots in discrimination"

[justme]

The vast majority of people would agree. that Coote was kicked into touch,cause of the usage of the word "German" when addressing Jurgen Klopp

[Crimson Dynasty]

Regarding Coote, this new news is not surprising and almost somehow expected in this day and age when child sex offenses and abuses seem to be all the rage and whatnot.

The PGMOL continue to be a rolling embarrassment with their personnel hiring and vetting decisions.

To bad he was not in the US where he could have run for public office and probably won.

The stupid Git probably cost us a title with his on-field fuckery and shithousery ..........if not two.
