hmmm....like "send DC back to hospital" maybe

dysko · 03-17-2006, 10:09 AM

My vote is a little more harsh...

"Send Nowak back to Poland!"

Stucki · 03-17-2006, 10:09 AM

We could just ask him where the hospital is.

I think we should all wear hospital scrubs and carry signs telling Nowak where to go!
I will wear mine unless I am on the field this year... in that case I have a full set of scrubs i can donate to the cause....

In defense of Harris, we could all buy and wrap ourselves in the flag of St. Kitts & Nevis.

"if Nowak had said such a phrase, he would need to fired (or do the right thing and resign). Soccer has a problem with racism, thankfully that problem is typically in Europe and not here in the US. However, that's because US Soccer, and MLS, must have a zero tolerance policy for racism. The sport doesn't need that taint in this country. Even if Piotr Nowak believed he is not a racist, and he said such a thing, he would need to go."

So, now we've established that he did say what he was alleged to have said, does that mean he should go?

I think everyone deserves a second chance. I don't think most people deserve a 3rd, however, especially when it comes to something as sensitive as this. Whatever he said, he has been fined and warned. If he minds his mouth, good for him. If not, MLS will probably be forced to sack him.

Speaking of racism in soccer, check this out.

3 point deduction for first infraction, 6 points for the second, and then relegation for the third. This will give clubs and nations plenty of reason to police their fans a little more. I just hope that FIFA is reasonable with the application of these new measures.

Not to troll, but there is a false assumption in that question you are asking.
