In all seriousness Suarez got banned for less.

If Mendy is upset then yes, if he isn’t, no.

Noted. Would you object so strongly if in this case theIr HR department rep have a word with Bernardo? Would that be out of line?

[The Golden Eel]

He compared someone to a cartoon character because, in his opinion, they look alike? And what?

Ha.  Yesterday you claimed the HR dept were benign, when the obvious implication is ‘stop or be fired’. 

 

Im pretty sure that the FA have previously taken a ‘joking is no defence’ stance so fully expect him to get a ban.  But it’s City, so expect them to get it over turned.

Only after he vlogged a joke about Mandy being topless.. despite him wearing a black t-shirt. He’s a wrong one Bernardo. I’vm proud to say I’ve always hated his guts.

The historical context of black people being compared to racist caricatures? 

 

If mendy took it as a joke, and it was intended as a joke, that’s one thing. The moment he broadcast it on twitter it took on another dimension. 

[Rico1304]

There is nothing on this on Blue Moon.

No, no guys. It's YOUR fault.

Do you think it would be out of line for City’s HR department rep to have a word with Bernardo wrt his tweets?

[Rico1304]

Seems Mendy is ok with it

He compared a black person to a cartoon of a stereotype of black people. 

 

Very different.

This is so far away from the situation we were discussing yesterday it’s untrue.  I’m amazed you are linking them. Or maybe not.

Interesting because there was earlier. The consensus was what's the world coming too when you can't joke with mates with a bit of "well that's was a bit silly" thrown in.

 

I suspect he will be charged and warned about future tweets.

He should’ve texted it to him then, instead of plastering it over Twitter 

[aRdja]

Full picture of the character he tweeted. Eeeek.

Didn’t think I was gonna get an answer, but happy to let this one go... because i imagine it’d be boring for the rest of the forum.

No it does look like it's gone. Bit mad that, it's definitely something that should be discussed on a discussion forum.

I agree, because you’re being obtuse.  

 

HR having a word means they want you to stop.  They can fire you if you don’t. You seem to be missing that. For two days running.
