Was the appointment of Ryan Mason racist?

[Kiedis]

Couldn't the opening post have been thought of as more of an invite to discuss the topic at hand instead of piling abuse at Chris Miller?

Really quite the cesspit here at times.

Huh? Isn't that exactly what I did?

I stated what Chris had accused the club of across several forums. Stated my opinion. Then asked what others thought. I made it clear that I was open to other opinions.

Chris Miller showed no such restraint as he stated without reservation or fear of contradiction that the appointment ABSOLUTELY WAS RACIST across multiple forums.

Ffs

Sorry. Meant the other posters that didn't do anything else than say "Chris Miller is a prick" etc etc. I found your post perfectly fine.

Oh...

I withdraw my rather overly hostile response then...

No worries. The amount of WTF and D'oh ratings I've received has made me question having started the thread in the first place

yeah i am slightly confused by that, you spotted something and raised a genuine question regarding that opinion. Not sure why you should get any bad responses as you are literally asking the question. Some people don't take time to actually read what they are responding to.

As for your question, i felt Mason being appointed was more to get on the side of the fans and link in with everybody who supports spurs. He was a spurs player at youth all the way through into senior level and is well liked, who knows maybe in youth level he also has his teams playing some good football. I mean for me though i would not have really cared if it was powell, ledley or mason or even a cocker spaniel in charge as long as we actually played some decent football.

How is this thread still going?
And no, I'm not wasting my time reading through it, it just keeps popping up as 'new content'!
Ffs.

Is Mason racist? Why did certain players not feature in the last games who were mostly all of colour

Are we still talking about this???

He might actually have the glimmer of a point here. Mason is the golden boy who has been fast tracked beyond his competence. Powell is a highly experienced coach who was overlooked because.....? We don’t know, but I think it’s fair to assume that optics were more important than experience here, and for whatever reason the inexperienced Mason was seen as more of a crowd pleaser than the highly experienced Powell.

That’s not racism, but it might fall under unconscious bias. The gammons will never accept it though.

Highly experienced? Yes!

Actually a bit shit as a Head Coach? Also yes!!!

Instantly bristling against and rejecting this without consideration isn't a good look.

My instinct is probably not racist but without knowing about the unconscious bias or what was going on in the heads of the higher-ups, it seems silly to 100% rule it out and insult anyone who brought up the possibility.

I agree that my first thought when I saw the thread title was that it was in reference to King, but the Powell argument is a little more convincing.

But on this particular case what is there to consider? The amount of information is completely minimal and any thoughts are mostly hypothetical.

Ive always saw it was a gesture of goodwill (which football falls short so often). As we know, Mason's football career was cut short so it was a nice gesture form Tottenham to have him lead the team in the final and a few games remaining in the season.

This is what I'm talking about.

It's entirely possible that there was an element of racism in the appointment. Bristling against and insulting the "woke" isn't exactly an honest, critical look at the situation.

One idiot saying shit like that doesn't mean that windy has a point.

Unless there’s evidence there’s no argument.

I believe we are all racist to some degree, its the tolerance towards each other is what we need to learn.
