When it comes to Jose Mourinho's comments about Vinicius Junior alleging he was racially abused by a Benfica player, it is difficult to know where to start.
But the line about Benfica legend Eusebio is as good a place as any.
The idea that because the greatest player in the club’s history is Black, therefore nobody connected with them could possibly be racist, is at best surreal and absurd, at worst vicious gaslighting.
Mourinho was, in effect, telling Vinicius that he didn’t hear what he says he heard — because there’s a statue of a black footballer outside Estadio da Luz.
Then there’s the criticism of Vinicius for celebrating in what Mourinho deems to be an inappropriate manner.
And then the killer, the repeated slur that is often aimed towards Vinicius. The implication that this is all his fault.
“There is something wrong because it happens in every stadium. Every stadium where Vinicius plays, something happens. Always.”
This was a night that Jose Mourinho sunk to a new low, writes @NickMiller79.

Tak til @muldertweeting for at minde mig om #tinglisesiger Jeg har lige fundet en note på min telefon fra 2018 med dem som ikke blev delt. Spørgsmålet er om verden er klar? #detvarenandentid
Tokyo Override is released on @netflix today. It is co-directed and produced by my great friend and super talented filmmaker Yuske Fukada. I'm really excited to watch it! I hope you wanna check it out too.

I read this drivel so you don't have to! The summation of the thread is a guy who doesn't know how many people do the type of work he wants and doesn't know how much it costs thinks that it should be possible so long as the numbers he *makes up* fit together. Stellar. No notes.
Glad that @Bungie took extreme measures to protect their employee but it’s so awful they had to. Shoutout to Alyssa for the funny yet informative write up!
@BungieHelp@A_dmg04@DirtyEffinHippy@Cozmo23 The ability to claim some Destiny raid sherpa emblems from https://t.co/Fq8wUM4irA is expiring at New Years. With the API being down we can't claim them. Any plans to extend the deadline?
@PixelsofMark I've been told 2 different things from friends. 1: "Ranked" sounds serious and they think they will play super serious matches against really good players. "Quick play", "Pubs" etc sounds more chill. 2: Some fun things are removed from the ranked playlist (modes, weapons etc.).
@PixelsofMark@PlayXDefiant I'm not sure I can give a good, unbiased answer to that. It's been a long time since those games, so I might not be remembering right, and I was around top 10% I think. But I can tell what SBMM does for those of my friends who are not very good at shooters.
