marbelladave Posted 10 August 2015 Share Posted 10 August 2015 Vardy is a typical young man in todays England. Not very bright, ill educated and poorly brought up. He reacts to anything he doesn't like with aggression and foul language. Frankly it could have been a lot worse. He and the club will go through the 'PC' motions and at the end of that he will still be not very bright, ill educated and poorly brought up. He's a footballer, not a 'roll model' or 'cultural icon', anyone expecting him to behave like one are going to be sorely disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marbelladave Posted 10 August 2015 Share Posted 10 August 2015 must be an old man, every generation have said the one before them are going down the pan since cavemen! Are you suggesting I am wrong in any way? Young people have always acted aggressively in certain circumstances, that is not the issue. Taking not very bright, ill educated, poorly brought up young men, throwing huge amounts of cash at them, along with a massive sense of 'entitlement' then placing them on a pedestal as some kind of 'icon' was always going to work well. Giving Vardy grief over this is what strikes me as odd since such behaviour is pretty much normal in the general population, why single him out?

dylanlegend Posted 10 August 2015 Share Posted 10 August 2015 Was Vardy kicked out or were the police called by the casino in question? If not- how can it be racist, is racism against the law? People clearly would have heard what he was saying including casino staff. The big question is..... Was it Okazaki!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the good old boys were complaining about that awful Elvis Presley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr The Singh Posted 10 August 2015 Share Posted 10 August 2015 I must admit I didn't know the word 'jap' was offensive, I assume Vardy was just as much ignorant to it. All comes down to the intent Vardy wanted to give, if it was a passing comment eg 'these japs eat funny food', yes it maybe insulting but there is no racial intent. Storm in a tea cup if my assumptions are correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marbelladave Posted 10 August 2015 Share Posted 10 August 2015 also it's ironic you highlight education and 'brightness' (an awful concept) and then type 'roll model' What I find ironic is the political correctness of all this. The man behaves badly, but no worse than many others but because he is a footballer it is somehow different. His behaviour is perfectly normal, not nice but normal. It is not just young people either older folk are just as bad. The basic reaction to anything not to their liking is foul mouthed abuse, it's the way it is.

wokinghamfox Posted 10 August 2015 Share Posted 10 August 2015 Presumably we shouldnt call a Scotsman a Scot!?. I am a bit confused by the whole issue and why are the Mercury fuelling it by posted an article online with a poll as to whether JV should be sacked or not. JV has apologised let that be that.

Larry_LCFC Posted 10 August 2015 Share Posted 10 August 2015 If "Jap" is that bad, how come the likes of the daily mail are directly using it in their headlines about the story. Surely wouldn't be allowed it was really that offensive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely wouldn't be allowed it was really that offensive? It is called click bait. The Daily Mail are running that story not because they are outraged that Vardy has used a racial slur but because they want to outrage people who don't think it is a racial slur. Look at the popular comments beneath the story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely wouldn't be allowed it was really that offensive?It's easy for the far left to attack a single white and/or English person and/or male than it is to attack a corporation, mostly because society have been bullied by them into believing that it is 'ok'.The irony is, Jamie vardy encourages this very thing being contracted to a lefty, multicultural promoting company that '''could''' sack him.

DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 10 August 2015 Share Posted 10 August 2015 Why don't you go try out the word on an East Asian person then? You sir, are an ignorant moron. It is a perfectly acceptable name. On your reckoning the word Scot, would be upsetting to the Scottish. You are one of those numb skulls, who seek out trouble. Try growing up, and get a life.

Firstly the bit not in the video, the Japanese gentleman was 'hanging over' Vardy who thought he was trying to see his cards. The video shows Vardy reacting to this in a very aggressive manner, not so much what was said, but the manner in which it was said. It was not particularly foul mouthed, just unpleasant. In fact, 'language' wise it was really not that bad My other posts were simple pointing out that while such behaviour is not nice, it is pretty normal.

DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 10 August 2015 Share Posted 10 August 2015 Going in a gay pub once doesn't make thinking 'nigger' or 'coon' are tolerable, any more acceptable. Just from that you can tell you're a sad, sad old man. You seem to miss the point. They are not words that I would use in life nowadays, but they were 100% acceptable in my youth, and was a norm among all classes of people. I have never stated that they are acceptable nowadays, just that they were . I would also point that I have been in gay pubs, many times, and always had a good time.

The white populace. blacks and browns, were and always have been disgusted by the type of language you deemed acceptable as a youth. The fact that you bring it up as a case for using such language, rather then being disgusted by the stuff that was spouted, shows the type of person you are.
