Referring to The Chase's Beast as an example misses the point completely. It's something quite difficult to nail down why referring to large black players using terms usually used to describe enormous powerful animals is not sensitive to race. Beast when it refers to The Chase man is because he is a very powerful quiz opponent. He's also a very big man. No one is making a comparison to a large feral animal. He is just a fearsome trivia expert who fills out a very large suit. He is The Beast, not a beast. The use of the term beast or monster as it refers to a black football player has connotations of a feral uncivilised enormous powerful animal. Like a large bear or gorilla. Powerful white strikers like Harry Kane don't get referred to in these terms because it's considered that their play is more intelligent and technical, and doesn't rely on pure physicality and strength like a black player. It's a cultural quirk that means that beasts like Didier Drogba will find it harder to get into management than Harry Kane. And young black people will read about people who look like them being referred to in derogatory, dehumanising terms in ways that white people will not. (Yes Harry Kane got referred to as a beast by an opposition player after some match against Dortmund, but also within those results "Harry Kane's deadly artistry fires Spurs past Dortmund") This isn't relegated to just football and the UK too. Key and Peele once satirized the very same phenomenon you're referring to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re the big boys down there now and should be showing it by raiding PL clubs. At £15 million he’d be a snip for a PL striker. I hope we can keep him, but what can you do if a big offer comes in?? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 (edited) It wouldn't matter if he scored a hattrick against Gibraltar, no team is going to pay this guy the wages he is currently earning. He will be loaned out until his contract comes to an end. Edited June 10, 2019 by Vive_La_Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
