Who's Nasri? (Barely have a handle of who Kareem, Meni and Trev are!)

What's a Nasri?

 

[Kareem]

lol
Samir Nasri scored 2 against Man Utd for Arsenal
called the next Zidane, a playmaker, algerian (hence Meni's obsession with him), has pace, vision etc. Was Young player of year in France year before last! Made Euro squad at just 20

Agree with Kareem on the blasphemy issue.

 

[clarence]

OK, I thought it was a fellow forumite.
So if Nasri is the best, where does Fabregas sit in all this?

fabregas>nasri IMHO
but in the future who knows
but Meni B's fascination with Nasri is mainly racist
which is fair enough in that context

Word of advice - you spelt 'sort' wrong.
Thnx.

Back to the main reason for this thread, blasphemy.

What time was kickoff?

 

[Kareem]

its a tough question but isnt it?
preferring your own race over another...
generally racism: is due to the person beign a certain race
however in theory it can be due to them not being your race

What of the sugestions of 6-5 player split (6 hoem grown players, 5 foreign)
What of the non-european spots in some countries (eg. spain I think)
What of non-Aussie players in AFC + A-league?
And if we hold certain players over others due to them being Aussie- are we racist?

Just some thoughts...

 

[Paolo]

i disagree, God's son had a great sense of humour.....

What?

Preferring your own race is racism. I prefer to have only whites in my diner, so no colours.
I prefer to have Aryans in the world, so no gypsies.

Preferring a person based on their class, social group or race rather than their personal merit is discrimination.

The corollary of a preference for a particular race is a negative predisposition to others.

Dear Kareem, the idea behind these restrictions on foreign players is to develop local talent, among other things. It isn't motivated by favouritism or racism. It is quite reasonable for a national league to impose such restrictions as they see fit. Similarly, the AFC might impose restrictions on the number of foreign players allowed to play in the AFC CL because they want to provide an incentive for clubs to develop local talent, which is in turn good for the competitiveness of the AFC at national levels.

Also, you might "prefer" your own race over another because naturally, you understand and identify with your own culture best. But does that preference lead to hate for other races? I would hope not. If anything, you should want to learn more about other cultures, which I think is the natural inclination for most people.

Some interesting thoughts though Kareem, keep them coming. I enjoy your insights, especially the helpful info in the FIFA/PES threads.

Pfft bahahaha

actually

*snort* haha

How the f--k did this thread go from the world's biggest pisstake, to this serious argument in Biblical proportions ?.

Oh and by the way I voted for the bottom Trev, somehow take that as a warning/request/whatever.
