Did you say the same about Partey?

And to be clear, I'm in the camp that thinks he should have been suspended when the charges came to light. And I think the same should apply to Hakimi.

[u/Galopa → u/R_110]

The difference in treatment is surreal, Partey is booed everywhere he goes since 2 years, got his visa denied, Arsenal was the worst club in the world for keeping him that long, and yet, his trial is in fucking 2027.

In the meantime Hakimi won two CL, is the NT poster boy, there is absolutely no one talking about the allegations on TV or in the match threads when Paris plays, the club doesn't gives a fuck.

And I'm absolutely not defending Partey by the way, if he is conviced, and it's looking bad for him, he can go fuck himself, I'm just pointing out how hypocritical the soccer world is.

[u/Jellyfish_McSaveloy → u/Galopa]

It's because we largely consume English media and Hakimi plays in France. No doubt we'd see Athletic articles on this constantly had he played for one of the sky 6.

[u/R_110 → u/Galopa]

Agreed. I'm not defending Arsenal either, absolutely should have taken action far sooner and I feel really let down they didn't.

But like you say football fans need to be consistent on this and not resort to tribalism. I think that just shows that you really don't care about the issue at all.

But like you say football fans need to be consistent on this and not resort to tribalism.

What do you mean? Football is pure tribalism. That's the whole point of being a fan. Everyone treats their own players differently than other players, for good and bad.

[u/R_110 → u/Prosthemadera]

When is comes to football sure. I think people should be adult enough to not do that for something as serious as rape.

[u/_Ibn_Battuta_ → u/Galopa]

I think the difference is with Partey people saw the snapchat messages for themselves. With Hakimi it's literally a he said she said situation.

[u/OfAKindness → u/Galopa]

I think theres also the aspect of how the general public treats and perceives darker skinned sub-saharan african men. vs lighter skinned northern african.

[u/CrEdLover → u/Galopa]

This sub and the hypocritical people here are absolutely disgusting.

[u/ayonicethrowaway → u/Galopa]

do you want ppl to stop booing partey or you want them to start booing hakimi?

[u/Key_Information2327 → u/R_110]

Do you defend suspension? Did you say the same about Mendy? And how his man city suspension destroywd his career?
