Barcelona has staunchly defended Lionel Messi over claims he racially abused a black Real Madrid player several seasons ago, calling such claims "well wide of the mark"
I think Royston Drenthe is jealous of Messi's success & out of dis world football skills while he (Drenth) is a bench warmer Report Abuse

Drenthe - always in the papers for the wrong reason!! And if his calling Messi racist...then Higuain who was playing with him at Madrid is also a racist....Hinguain also called Drenthe 'negro/negrito'...then why is the media not accusing Higuain of racism...they are after Messi...trying to make that hair gel model Penaldo player of the year...what a stunt!!

This Drenthe is Dented ngempela.
I doubt Messi is a racist Report Abuse
I never saw Messi talking to anyone in the field of play, except his teammates. Players kick him left right centre, but he says nothing.
People are just jealous that the little man will win the world player for a record 4th year in a row. People are annoying sometimes. Report Abuse

True cde Shredder, both carry the same weight and are used in the same context except the context under which Afro-Americans use them. Even the context under which General Mahatma Ghandi used the k-word in the samne derogatory way, but in SA he (Ghandi) is a hero. Report Abuse

@KarlZimbiri - I ussually hear Balck South Africans call each other nigg@z, but wonder why do they get mad when they are being called k@ffir. That is stupid. The thing is we have embraced Black American lifestyle and made it part of us. Even the Black Americans don't like it when somebody who is not their friend call them nigg@. But anyway, what can we say....... Report Abuse

If this was said by Ronaldo I would understand, but not this Dwarf it does not suit him. The timing of Drenthe is questionable as well, his team mates at Madrid called him Negro.s but he did not report them why only single out the Dwarf is it because Messi ( Dwarf) has got skills and he does not?

Drenthe played several seasons at Madrid before being loaned to Hercules last season, and he moved to Everton this season. The 25-year-old never cemented his place at either Spanish club due to on-field performances and off-field problems, and was recently excluded from manager David Moyes' squad for disciplinary reasons.

@Drenthe, you lack discipline......... no wonder you are being "shuffled" around from one team to the next. Instead of clutching at straws rather work on your performance Report Abuse
