Re: #JeSuisMessi ? Barcelona unveils campaign to support Lionel Messi .

yes, its very possible. a lot of athletes are cry babies. its not just the fault of perez. its perez, refdrid, "corrupt" argentine fa, and higuain (higuain purposely didn't tell him when he and his agent where working on their own tax payments). i expect a list of former football greats who were also accused of not paying their taxes and not treated how "cruelly" messi's being treated to make one of these threads in 5...4...3

Here Messi has been convicted of fraud with overwhelming evidence against him, not only is it different because he's clearly in the wrong and there's no argument to the contrary it's much, much worse.

There was a chance Suarez was innocent? What is this rubbish? There is absolutely no doubt he called Evra an extremely offensive racist insult. He is the lowest of the low, complete scum. Tax evasion is bad yes but it does not compare to racism, that is pure evil. If anything Messi's the one that might be innocent as I highly doubt he knew anything about his taxes. There probably isn't one high level player who does.

But even if he knew it and did it (which is horrible) it's still not as bad as what Suarez did. A club standing by a racist is infinitely worse than standing by a tax evader.

You'd defend him to the end of time, wouldn't you rofl

Extremely offensive Laughing

And people call me a Messi fanboy lol.

by Cruijf Sat Jul 09, 2016 11:14 pm

Negro is of course just merely referring to the color of his skin and is not at all offensive, emotionally charged, and intentionally insulting Rolling Eyes

What is it with you all and your bloody extremes? You can only love and adore Messi or absolutely hate him. Only think he is completely innocent or the worst person on the planet. Only think Suarez did nothing or Suarez is Satan incarnate. Is it so difficult for you to actually read my posts and understand what I am saying?

Messi evaded taxes which is a serious crime and a bad thing. But are you so stubborn that you're willing to downplay racism in order to vilify him? Astonishing idiocy.

Embarrassing football club.

by Doc Sat Jul 09, 2016 11:16 pm

I call you Rupert tbh. Also, Cruijf is sadly trying to choose which of the evils is lesser: a man who broke the law through tax evasion and a man who made racist remarks.

Both are the same sort of awful to me.

by Cruijf Sat Jul 09, 2016 11:17 pm

I wasn't even the person that brought this up Laughing

I said before it's a crime and a bad thing and Messi shouldn't have done it and left it at that. But if you come out with this nonsense that somehow racism and supporting racism is better than what Barca is doing of course I'm going to disagree.

by Thimmy Sat Jul 09, 2016 11:28 pm

Don't worry about it, guy who can't spell Cruyff correctly. I'll take it from here Molenation

Messi is innocent. He didn't even know that extra money was pouring into his offshore bank account!

Hey, did ya'll hear about Adam Johnson? Now, that's a real criminal! His father wasn't even involved in any of it! Let's talk about Adam Johnson or Bill Cosby Very Happy

by Doc Sat Jul 09, 2016 11:30 pm

This is less about Messi and more about Barcelona's actions though. I wouldn't vilify Messi since he is already doing a fine job on his own. Or his old man, one or the other.

by Cruijf Sat Jul 09, 2016 11:32 pm

It's spelled Cruijff hmm

I don't particularly care though I thought it was spelled Cruijf when I first used it as a username 10 years ago and I cba to change it.

It's quite obvious you aren't a day over 12 though and would rather go for cheap digs than actually read anything. Continue living in your world where everyone is either you or a fanboy/hater and racism is only bad when it's someone other than Messi doing it.

Yeah, and I find a massive football club publicly supporting a racist much more abhorrent than a tax evader.

Of course the fact that I was comparing the actions of Barca to the actions of Liverpool went far over the head of our friend here, who would much rather whine about how I'm a Messi fanboy.

Still attempting to divert the attention towards racism Rolling Eyes

by Cruijf Sat Jul 09, 2016 11:36 pm

Of course I'm diverting attention Rolling Eyes

Not like it was someone else who first said Liverpool supporting Suarez wasn't as bad as this and I disagreed.

by zigra Sat Jul 09, 2016 11:39 pm

Come on guys... we all know Liverpool were a disgraceful joke with how they handled the whole situation and we all know Barcelona are a *bleep* joke right now. How does it even matter who's worse? Right, it doesn't.

This is selfish move by court tbh. attention bitches. they did it only because its messi and he is a barcelona player. and most probably angry messi didnt answer their calls after he lost the final

how 20 years old can have such tax fraud plans? at that time he was fighting to win trophies and ballon dor. Who cared about tax? who cared about extra 4 million in 7-8 years? its just messi's weekly income. they paid back 6-7 millions in fines and you can see messi doesnt even care about fines or money. Only thing he cares is winning with Argentina atm. at that time he had another things to win. he wants more salary in barcelona because of ego. nothing more.

Cant believe messi plans all these crimes when a football event affects him so much and ruins his mood. He thinks about football all the time. its true for all players not just messi . Their fathers and managers is to blame here
