Using it as a stick to beat him with as to why he shouldn’t “play the victim card” as you put it for someone who has suffered huge amounts of racist abuse though?
Irrespective, across all types of sports there are people who have this sort of shithousery/nastiness in their performances which pushes them to perform and helps separate them from others. Max Verstappen in F1. Nick Kyrgios in tennis. Bellingham also alongside Vini in football. Countless others been and gone.
Did you think the likes of JT, Ashley Cole, Diego Costa were all saints also? Theres 3 players who off the top of my head from here who had that same sort of shithousery or nastiness about them when they needed to and definitely helped them perform better. Mourinho, Conte, Tuchel as managers also intentionally did things that rubbed people up the wrong way to gain psychological advantages here and throughout their careers 🤔
Seems to be a reoccurring theme though, a lot of these people are all elite level sportsmen who have won or achieved a lot across their respective sports. Nice guys don’t win fuck all.
