Just because you don’t find it racist doesn’t mean others don’t. I don’t really see the issue with blackface as long as it doesn’t have the racist lips involved, but I’m not black.

Doing something that you know pisses off other people is also just a dick thing to do.

A white dude painting himself black is going to piss off a vocal community of social media.

It is possible he is a fricking idiot and didn’t know any better, but I find that hard to believe.

There is NOTHING wrong with the Griezmann picture.

Nah he just looks stupid

Like Mcbro said if it has the lips done like back in the 20s it would be fricked up.

I think he’s just completely oblivious to what he’s even getting himself into

I had fraternity brothers do that shite looking like Mr T or the Chappelle show crackhead

But not close to that dark

Agree. Looks like a dumb arse. Wonder what the thought process was. “Gee, I really love the Harlem Globetrotters. I think I’ll spend two hours painting my entire body black in homage to them.”

Piers Morgan quickly gave his take on the situation, quote-tweeting Griezmann's image along with the added caption: 'And Overseas Racially Insensitive Imbecile of the Year goes to.'

What difference does it make if he painted his body? AG is generally a twat anyway but this is harmless.

It is a full costume intended for fun at nobody's expense, a dumb party joke and nothing more. Political correctness lunacy and hypersensitivity to anything race related is sapping the life out of everything, ppl need to snap the frick out of whatever hypnosis they're in.

Lol the best part is that he hasn’t even deleted it yet.

I honestly think it’s something dumb for people to get mad about, but the dude has to be a bit more aware and know that people are waiting for famous athletes to make a mistake like this. I do wonder though, is this even a thing in Europe? I’d assume so, but I guess you never know.


It is most certainly a thing in Spain. Especially this time of year with Rey Baltasar (one of the three wisemen). There are people who don't like it when white people put on blackface to dress up as him.
