That's fine.

This is just backdated.

You know, come on.

Like there's gotta be better ways to do this.

Yeah, there is, because he left only after six months arriving in Mexico.

The club isn't Club America, because Lens have supported him.

As a fellow girl dad myself, this really struck a chord with me when he mentioned his daughters being abused.

Because obviously racist abuse is unacceptable even if you are the footballer who's being abused.

And that applies to everybody from Alan Sam X-Men to Vini.

But when you start racially abusing family members on top of that...

To me, that's far more aggravating.

That makes everything even worse than something that is already terrible.

I just really wonder what kind of people we're talking about here.

Yeah, I'm not surprised Senegal did not appeal because this is, dare I say it, kind of a slap on the wrist.

In the greater context of things, if you look at what happened to other clubs that have walked off.

They got to be champions.

You know, they've got two guys suspended for a couple of AFCON qualifiers.

Big deal.

There's 24 teams who qualify for the AFCON.

Senegal will qualify anyway.
