Can’t they just drug test him and fire him?

Something about the Rothschild family that was deemed potentially anti-Semitic. It was all a bit of a storm in a teacup in all honesty.

If any professional footballer in this country has not yet grasped the quite simple fact that racist or anti Semitic tweets are going to end up with an FA charge, they deserve the inevitable punishment they get if they are found guilty. He has got form for bloody stupid tweets landing him in hot water - quite why his club is defending him is a mystery.

Maybe not... at worst anti Semitic, at best stupid. Either way he should learn, but he doesn’t seem to.

I never realised that it was deemed anti Semitic to say stuff about the Rothchilds. I thought it was just harmless conspiracy stuff said by nutters and that’s full where I’d put Pope. 😂 That said I know someone that works for them and they were given home working kits just before Christmas that’s true btw but I don’t think it’s a conspiracy, just a funky coincidence!

I disagree - more importantly, so do the FA. As I say, Pope has form for tweets which get him into hot water. He should have worked out by now that for a professional footballer to parrot tropes about Jewish bankers is likely to end in tears.

And I’d suggest a lot of people don’t. I think it’s very harsh for what he would have seen as being entirely harmless. (Not saying it is harmless). Unless he is a massive anti Semite then he’s fooled me.

He would have been mortified (you’d hope and expect) when he found out where it all came from but it’s a mistake. Should he be punished, yes. The fine I agree with but a fine and some form of education and programme and community work, ideally with the Jewish community. But a 6 game ban for being ignorant? Just seems harsh.

Semites are a race not a particular religious group.

Saying the Rothschilds own the banking system is mildly offensive at the least and definitely not anti-semetic. If this is the way things are going then people aren't going to be able to scrutinise anything without being labelled as something or other.
I happened to work with a lot of Rothschild bank employees a couple of years ago, most of which are complete arseholes. By me saying that does it make me anti-semetic just because the family happen to be Jewish? People are pathetic.

Considering Semites are not exclusively Jewish, they are just a group of people who spoke a particular language and it included Arabs then maybe its just a convenience to accuse him of it.

I'm no expert on Judaism, but I would have thought that the Rothschild family were one of the, if not the most, well known families of the Jewish Diaspora. I'd have expected a majority of adults in our country and in much of the Western World, were well aware of their religion.
