so if you thought you've banned a bad apple ... think again; but just in case you still didn't get it, they are the ones winning right now. Because fans of pro-sports and racism have never gone hand in hand. And weren't majority of those players born in France? Yes, they could have at least masked it by adding some white players whose families originate from other countries in that image, such as Griezmann or Hernandez. But racists aren't the brightest.

If I was a real person on the street I would be insulted at the insinuation.

If it had been someone else posting that, maybe you could have argued that pic was celebrating immigration and how folks whose parents came from different origins all united together as Frenchmen and won the cup. Alas we can't have nice things.

That's how i saw it, .. and i want furthermore to point out that that's how many people think: that frogs are multicolored since the 1900s and that it is a strength and something to be celebrated.. trust me i'm french!

Jealous should be banned portraying a 1000% zoom as a 300% zoom. That's over 3 times the difference in Zoom!
