  1. Oh come on!… Its getting ridiculous now… Some guys feelings are hurt and the whole team walks off? Where's all this rubbish going to end? What exactly was said? Jesus when I played football we'd never end a game if everyone who was pissed off or upset at a slur demanded we all left the pitch!!!

  2. So I’ve been trying to find footage of Collin actually playing and see how he is as a midfielder and maybe as a playmaker. I found none so far. All I keep seeing are interviews and stats that saw he’s gone 14 matches, 1 goals and 1 assist. He’s not important on the field, he’s making himself important to media cos that’s the way now. Hilarious.

  3. got herpes from a friend I trusted with my Life, I thought all hope was

    lost untill I met an online doctor from YouTube and I gave him a try and

    after 19 days of the herbal medicine he sent to me through UPS with email:

    doctorokooboh234@gmail.com or through WhatsApp :+2349131601786.

    He truly is legitimate and worth trusting with your money. Contact him now

    and be free from herpes.
    ❤️❤️❤️❤️

  4. Peace and joy is all I see around ever since I came in contact with Dr. Oko-Oboh on Facebook, I complained bitterly to him about me having herpes at it highest stage only for him to tell me it's a minor  stuf. He told me has cured thousands of hundreds of people but I didn't believe until he went me the herbal medicine and I took it as instructed by this great man. I came in contact with his email: doctorokooboh234@gmail.com or Whatsapp him on +2349131601786. He also cured my friend with HIV and ever since I strongly believe that he can do all great works.

  5. Okay. Fine. Protest, but you just let your opponent win the goddamn game. There are better ways of protesting. Now that I think about it, the affair could've gotten very nasty. Still, forfeiting just validates the enemy and his point.

  6. So wait a minute… What happen to the crusade for "equal rights?" If a heterosexual where called this slur, it would be unacceptable, yet no one would bat an eye and the heterosexual would be told to get over it. But because a homosexual was called this slur, everyone rallies around him in an overwhelming show of support not offered to the heterosexual. So, how is this "equal rights?" How is this treating the heterosexual and the homosexual equally?

  7. Same thing happened to me. The opposing team said I sucked. I cried. My coach and teammates stood by me and we all walked off. Ill show them, I’ll never play again.

  8. I realize everyone has taken a side without proof. Now that is the true danger. Disrespect should not be allowed. Along with that the words of Collin should also be taken into account. The full is more important than half.

  9. my testimony All thanks to Dr Uroko spells worked immediately, thanks for helping me win the lottery for $45,700. I also won on an instant ticket 11 days later for $15,800. I know I was impatient and worried. Dr Uroko kept me calm and were very kind and very helpful. I want everyone to know how you helped me and my family. It has only been 8 days since your lottery casting. and i have already won. i hit the pick 4 straight and won $5000. i know more winnings are coming, contact his whatsapp+2347059352550 number or email drurokospellcaster@gmail.com for help and assistance for lottery winning and alot more in all works of life, am so grateful.

  10. the referee can’t go back in time and card someone, especially when there is no objective evidence of a penalty. And for Donovan to demand an opposing coach to remove a player from the pitch after the referee wouldn’t issue a card is entirely laughable. And then they went to the player and asked him to voluntarily remove himself from the game. it’s pathetic leftist mob justice. finish the game. sometimes adversity is experienced in the game, we teach kids to rise above it, not to quit and walk off.

  11. Just another white liberal trying to ruin a black man. When will you people realize antifa and these white liberals fighting for social justice are the real racists. They enable social policy to strip free speech and freedom of choice for everyone. Their communistic and Marxist ideology is ruining our nation and they’ve hopped on the backs of minorities to bring that change.

    White liberals treat blacks like special needs children who need to be coddled. Who’s the real racists? They don’t want to view them as their equal because they want preferential treatment. Gay rights once more is more important than accusing and trying to ruin a black man’s career without a shred of evidence he even said it.

    Even if he did… bro it’s sports. He would be shredded in a hockey or football locker room.

  12. Soccer players wouldn’t survive an NFL locker room. What happened to thick skin and sticks and stones?

    You’ll be losers the rest of your life if you forfeit or walk off your job for everything said you don’t like. This is how governments become tyrannical and “thought police” are created. Sacrifice freedom for “protection”. Grow up. Be proud of who you are. We’re gonna let words stop us? Imagine what Russia, North Korea or Iran would DO to you if an opportunity was had. Promise you it would be WAY worse than a name call. We can’t control the thoughts of people. Simply be above it and succeed. Slam it down their throats. Walking off fields or away from jobs is the most weak move ever. Losers and defeatist mindset. Be proud of who you are. When you give bigots power they’ll continue to do it. Only way to take the power is show them words don’t mean anything. We’re in trouble.

    Everybody wants to be a “hero” and warrior now. 15 minutes of fame. It’s profitable now. So ridiculous. By the way… I do NOT approve of bigoted words or slurs of any demeaning nature. But I want people to be better and not weak about words because this is how free speech will be limited. Next thing is rights and now we have a socialistic/communistic nation. Not having it.

  13. we have one month of the election Joe Biden need to counting campaign moving forward practice universal precautions used face shield – mask – glove – & hand washing to protect himself and everyone around him , I work in healthcare ]]

  14. I LOVE HOW THESE ALL THESE STRAIGHT GUYS PUT RESPECT FOR EACH OTHER FIRST OVER GAME
    We need more people like this team in the world. Standing up for each other and defending your fellow brothers. That is true leadership!

  15. You're all a bunch of Nancies, we called each other gay growing up all the time, it's like calling someone an asshole. Get over yourselves ffs. Not everything is meant how it sounds. Everyone is so fucking sensitive now??!! You do realize nobody cares about you right, other then your family and next of kin, why expect people to be nice when they clearly won't care?? 🤷🏻‍♂️
    Just relax before you cause yourselves a heart attack!
    As far as I remember we have freedom of speech, stop acting like you're the one being objectified. As far as I'm concerned, women in general deserve that right before a fucking race war starts. I'm all for equal rights, believe that, I have friends of every race and orientation but when you act like a pussy it's just LAME!! We're ALL human and we ALL make mistakes!!

    Cheers 🍻

  16. Until people, especially adored people in the public eye, REFUSE to accept UNACCEPTABLE behavior, things will not change. This is a spark of hope toward a more just, kind and peaceful world.
