comrade u are talking a totally different thing...
Ian is just asking for more respect from the European media n u talking about Africans outside the shore that aint proud of dier Roots, dt wan is based on their own personal reasons naa..
they is special factor dt builds loyalty to ones roots n it also gives d pride n drive to speak up for ur root no matter were u are..
That's a personal decision dts in each individual mentality based on his own perspective about wat he is fighting for n it can't be enforced on humans..
for example, a rich kid dt is being sponsored from a rich home in Nigeria, travelled out n he is doing well in England can be easily convinced to come play in Nigeria team even if England also Gv him a callup bcoz Nigeria really favored him tru his rich background,
unlike a poor struggling guy dt hustled his way out of the shores of this country n also did well in England n get a callup, the poor guy will easily choose England than playing for Nigeria dt failed him wen he was here n dnt deserve his service...
loyalty cnt be given to a system that once failed you, mayb the blacks av seen a better system outside n dey would easily relate to dt side than their African roots...
Na personal stuff bro
I couldn’t have said this any better. Trevor Noah comes from a country that works, a country he was also made in, why wouldn’t he be proud of where he is coming from?

We all look but see differently.

Africa too like to bring confusion

Well, for starters... Why does Afcon have to be in January which is the middle of the season for all top leagues across the world?!!

Copa America, Euro, and World cup always take this into cognizance, why can't Africa?!!

If they did, we won't have such issues or complaints... Football is now a universal thing. Africa ought to get with the times.

If they did it like others, it would promote more participation and coverage, not just from the players but the major community of football and the media... This will further improve and increase the standing of the competition.

It all comes down to mutual understanding and cooperation.

Racism is real, yes... But let's not make a meal out of everything!!! Afcon needs to be better organized and coordinated with top clubs and leagues carried along. It's not that hard.
God bless you for this

Why must we do things like everyone else? Colonial mentality at work.

When are the rains heaviest in this part of the world? In January or in June? Some of you need to have some sense drilled into your skulls.
Oga relax
Does the NPFL not run into mid/ ending of July?
Why is rain not a factor when considering it too

Even Africans are disrespectful to Africa. Most Africans, including the ones living in the west, are actually not proud of their roots. A typical example from this article, we can see that only ONE out of the hundreds of Europe based African players have spoken out in defence of AFCON amidst the western media backlash. I listened to Trevoh Noah talking about his African roots with great pride on American national TV without any apology and I was like, this is it. If all Africans talked like this about Africa, trust me we've gotten on the right track.

The reason is because this is Africa and that June and July you are saying cannot work because that is when rainy season will be at highest point in Africa. June and July is their own dry season that is summer in Europe. quote author=chloride6 post=108941257]Why can't they play the competition in June/July like everyone else?[/quote]
Re: Media Coverage Is Disrespectful To AFCON - Ian Wright by Jungpablo: 8:19am On Dec 31, 2021
The corruption in CAF is too much and until they start doing the right thing AFCON will always be disrespected.
Re: Media Coverage Is Disrespectful To AFCON - Ian Wright by izombie(m): 9:17am On Dec 31, 2021
Ian is talking rubbish, all of you here supporting his rubbish dey Yan rubbish. It's quite simple, number 1, no European news outlet should be covering our sports for us, we should be able to do that. Number 2, this afcon is played in January and February when the European clubs are fighting for the leagues and trying to avoid relegation and these African players get paid by their clubs. Imagine if you were the clubs. This has been a big issue but caf has refused to shift the dates of afcon. And if you are here crying racism then you have a bigger problem. We don't here Asians, South Americans shouting racism, only black people. Afcon should be moved. Simple.

NOBODY FORCED THEM TO SIGN AFRICAN PLAYERS. THEY KNEW ABOUT AFCON BEFORE SIGNING THEM, SO KINDLY SPARE US YOUR GARBAGE.
All these ones, the guys on the receiving end are the players, not me and you, not the country they're being loyal to.

You saw what happened to Mikel when he went to represent his country at Olympics. Conte began to bench him and that was the beginning of the end of his career.

Salah may lose his highest goal scorer status because of Afcon

A number of them will fall out of favour when they return. And for all these, what do the players get in return from their country? Countries where they still have to fight for allowances, pay for their hotel from personal money.. Even Guinea president was threatening to make the boys refund money spent on them if they don't win the Afcon

OH SHUT UP WITH YOUR GARBAGE!!!

INFERIORITY COMPLEX is your problem.

PEOPLE SPIT ON YOU AND YOU SAY, ''OH IT IS OK, IT IS BECAUSE I AM POOR, SO NO PROBLEM.. Oh IT IS BECAUSE THERE IS CORRUPTION IN MY COUNTRY, SO NO PROBLEM, OH IT IS BECAUSE THERE IS TERRORISM.....''. etc etc.

You have the mentality of a benighted SLAVE. But the slave trade is over. Wake up. Nobody has the right to treat you like a subhuman, or discriminate against you just because your country or continent is still in development. So instead of being a weakling meekly submitting to racism and white supremacy/neo nazi philosophies, stand up and be a man and insist on your RIGHT T0 EQUAL TREATMENT.
you should shut up. Not everything is racism. The black man has shown the whole world that we can't do anything by ourselves. Buhari still goes yo London for treatment when he can easily build the same hospital in Nigeria. Our fuel is refined outside Nigeria while our refineries rot. Again you can't host a tournament in January without having the European leagues fight you because they pay the African players playing for them huge sums of money.
It's not racism but simple math. The African governments still put money into African sports when it should not be so. we can't monetize our sports.
When a white man does something he does it to benefit the white man buy when a black man does something he does it to benefit himself. That's why the African will never rise, not because of the white man but because of ourselves. We are too selfish, curropt, wicked and mean to ourselves. The black man hates the black man. that's the truth.

Civil with a self-hating dunce like you? Get real.

With your self-hating philosophy, any white man has a right to walk up to you and slap you or even spit in your face. Or refuse to employ you because of your skin colour. Or sing racist chants against you at the stadium. You deserve it, by YOUR own words!
Can you be racist to a Chinese? well not really. Because a Chinese person doesn't really need anything from you. They built their country and made it a world leader so you have nothing to be racist to him about. The black man has nothing, nothing to brag about so we all want to go to other countries in Europe, Asia, north and south America because they have the things we don't. The whites, Chinese, Japanese, Asians are all racist toward the black man. Ask yourself why.

We have to develop our local leagues and attract similar attention as the European leagues. If we can do that, we'll have our best players coming from the local leagues and the nation's can be held peacefully at off season. At this point, the Europeans won't have to worry about losing black players to AFCON cos they won't have any running to them for contract.

Africa does not need to change the rules to suit Europe.

Well before the mass migration to Europe for big pay, the AFCON existed.

The clubs should adjust their calendar to suit the nations Cup.
Na this mentality dey ruin us and yet we dey clamor for international coverage. All the other continents no get sense abi? Make we Siddon there na dey form arrogance.

Arrogance how?

FIFA has made it easy for nations in any case.

Any club that fails to release a player for international engagement would be severely sanctioned.

It's important to note, that international engagements are well scheduled and published well in advance.

The EPL continues to play during the winter period and in fact, creates a congestion of games over the period and does so unashamedly whilst many European leagues go on a winter break.

They claim it is their tradition but you here, think a tournament that is the pride of Africa, that is held every two years should be shifted to appease some European masters.

You no get pride or worse still shame?

When is the World Cup played? When is Europa played? Copa America? Etc. My point is the calendar suits all stakeholders better (even the players) if played after the season. We won't have clubs boycotting African players because they are bound to loose them every two years for a month. Ferguson is a prime example.
When the players also travel for Afcon, they won't give their all because they have their minds on their league form. None wants to go back injured.

Most if not all the African players invited for the tournament are not only foreign based but ply their trade in Europe!
This is not about colonial issues but the timing which coincides with the European club schedule...U expect clubs & coaches to have a smile on their faces while their top African players will spend weeks away from important club games?
Ur suggestion or opinion would a been considered if most of the players were home based!

Lies.

Any African that doesn't give his best at the nations Cup would do say at club level.

The likes of Frederick Kanoute, Samuel Etoo, Osei Kuffour, Kanu, Ikpeba, Okocha, etc. have all graced and given their best at the AFCON.
The dates haven't changed neither has the dates of the European leagues but suddenly we have to change it to please who?

If not your likes who are sellouts, this shouldn't be a discussion.

I remember when my British colleagues were trying to bad mouth Qatar getting the rights to the world Cup, that it's too hot there so it should not be held there. I told them to their faces, it is the WORLD Cup and not the European Cup and they don't have to do shit.

They can try to play at night, or provide air conditioning, but they have the right to host the competition like any other country.

Did it occur to your dumb head that he may be suspicious of political enemies infiltrating a hospital system, and that it is not necessarily about quality of hospitals in Nigeria? No. Your first self hating idea is that ''black people cannot do things for themselves''. Just a completely stupid and dumb deduction based on nothing but skin colour. Are you not black? Can you not do things for yourself or form a consortium with other blacks to do stuff? Stupid, ignorant dunce talking rubbish.

Our fuel is refined outside Nigeria while our refineries rot.
SO? EVEN IF WE START REFINING ALL OUR FUEL TOMORROW, courtesy of the new 12 billion dollar Dangote Refinery in Lagos, will it change your view of being inferior?

Once you feel inferior, you will ALWAYS FIND A REASON TO DO SO. If it is not fuel, it will be something else.


Again you can't host a tournament in January without having the European leagues fight you because they pay the African players playing for them huge sums of money. It's not racism but simple math.
The clubs had a CHOICE NOT TO SIGN AFRICAN PLAYERS, knowing full well their AFCON schedule.

What part of that does your slave head not grasp?

PLEASE GO TO HELL WITH YOUR SELF HATING RUBBISH.

Your head is stuffed with anti-African self hate.

I can GUARANTEE, that like the rest of the conditioned, colonised, brainwashed African MORO.NS like yourself, you do not consider YOURSELF to be among these 'useless, selfish, incompetent' Africans of your imagination.

It is always OTHER Africans who don't know what they're doing, but YOU? Aah, you are not one of them.

You're special and separate.

SICK, DUMB IDIOT. I know your type, and you are repulsive.

If you want to attack Africans, start by attacking YOURSELF and your MOTHER as subhuman incompetents FIRST, or you can go to blazes.
