I quoted public facts about his dress and demeanor and I’m an intolerant ignorant bigot by your description...
I think your post and educational philosophy you’re imparting to your children is misguided, color blind and simply wrong mindey evangelical- I wish you luck in educating them for their future as I wish myself on mine, but I couldn’t disagree more with the responses on here and don’t care to debate the point further in the midst of the present culture riots.
I’m sorry that people cannot see just how reactionary and soapbox they’re being and how ‘Ghetto’ though racially loaded is not an expletive or racist word requiing being expunged from the English language in the context of debating an athletes professionalism. Call me a racist and ban me if that is where societies now at but insinuations of a 1000 cuts are a fa more insidious way of fighting a culture war.
Im sorry that I don’t have the ability to source the ITK I referenced at present, but as the almighty is my witness it will certainly be found by someone who cares enough to search ( I don’t).
I can both notice N’Dombelle’s apparently, ‘respectful disposition interpersonally‘ with the simultaneous contradictories like dress, presentation, social media presence, entourage and background pr team and how this will affect our (happily) old school managers judgement paradigm. Im sorry I don’t care if you’re insensitive to the rebellious energy detrimental to team building that a certain dress and ‘energy’ invokes but even now mine still remains a legitimate perspective - I.e. that dressing in a way that’s uniquely outside of the cultural norm amongst your colleagues can be perceived as arrogant incongruity and egotism-qualities detrimental to success in a team sport which exposes the weakest links in a group. Dressing down at the weekend isn’t ok for a highly paid and driven professional whose every action should be discrete and developmental if the target is to reach the Balon dor level. Compare the public persona of the very best Messi and Ronaldo with the not quite make its like Nemar for example.
The idea that the beanie for example ( which he wears sitting on the bench rain or shine) is some exercise tool to generate extra sweat and is a symbol of his workrate and commitment is beyond ridiculous both as a practical idea and as a credulity question from its exponents. Whether intended as such or not it’s a statement of differerence with everyone else in the squad which rightly or not invites questions as to his commitment to the group. People not seeing this aren’t being ‘woke’ but wak Imo. I’m done with this now and won’t be responding further because I’ve more important thing to do than debate the obvious on the internet. Have a great summer y’all
