but the racism is for so many years and it s not just football. you mean the will isn t there, to really tackle racism? yeah, the real will is not there. like i say, i will tell you something really sensitive i m not sure we should ban racist people. because because which message they going to get? they re not going to learn. they can say, oh, we put them in a box because i m racist . we need to understand the reason why. they tonight other friends that say, patrice, you know you my friend, but my daughter and my son will never be with a black person because my dad or my grandparents won t accept it. so that s when i go back to the education. what do you think the football authorities could do now? or is it more about what the wider society can do, particularly for example, the social media platforms, the huge tech companies who run these sites where abusive, vile, racist comments can be sent so very easily to professional footballers?
why have you decided to tell the world about it now? i decided because i had an extra push with a woman of my life and i was talking about toxic masculinity and to open myself and ifeel safe. and, she would say, patrice, you are such a good person and funny, positive but she said i can feel something wrong with you. and i didn t want to know the reason but we watch a documentary about the paedophile and she looked at me and she said, what s wrong? and i said, nothing, nothing. and i burst into tears. and after that i tell her everything. she was the first person, i didn t say it to my mum, to my dad, to any of my brothers and sisters. so when i talk to her i said finally, i think it s time also to tell to my mum. and when i read the book, it was finished one year ago, just three months ago called the writer i said we need
they make sure they come because they want to win money. they boo us when.i see some people that were like, patrice, even if you win 3 1, i bet were going to win three, to the goalkeeper next time you do a betterjob. it is ruining everything. money ruining everything. football is for the poor people. it s like when you used to play in the street. but now we become a game for the rich people and they re ruining it. in a way, as i hear you talk, i m thinking to myself, here s a professional footballer who s made a very good living out of the game who s basically telling me, you know what? football really isn t that important and we are far too obsessed with it. do you think we are? yes. i ll be honest. if you told me, patrice, i wasn t happy playing football, i m happy now. and you know, i would prefer. if you asked me if i wasn t a footballer, i would be a doctor, i would wish to be a doctor to saving lives with up that s why i do on my social media and i received
think parents have had enough at this point? tammy, you know, i think a lot of parents are very concerned and especially if you are in new york city. and a lot of other cities that are probably going to follow suit. because, now all of a sudden you are not making the decision over whether your child needs to get vaccinated. it s been made by the mayor. it s not being made by healthcare provider you trust. frankly, i think this mandate is harsh. it s unwarranted. it s going to be devastating economically. and frankly it may be unconstitutional. i think it s going to take some time for us to figure out if that s going to happen. boy, i feel sorry for the small businesses that are already struggling trying to survive in new york city. now they are going to face it mandate. tammy: excellent point, patrice. this is four days before the holiday. the other mandate a few days before the end ever the year when he is out and eric adams is in. it s really like new york is being punched in the
so it s interesting because they are absolutely planting that idea already that other cities should follow this lead. the main thing that needs to be understood though is that when the original vaccine passport was passed when de blasio implemented it in the middle offing on the, the covid case numbers were lower than they are i m sorry, they have not gotten lower since then. they were actually higher today than they were in the middle of october. so it hasn t helped anything. that s really the key thing that other cities need to notice it has not worked. tammy: we have seen that across the world, patrice. great to see you. is that these where masks are implemented, where the pass properties implemented, cases are going up. then we look at florida. we look at sweden and that s a big difference. here with doing with kids, you know, to the moms and families out there to have to have a guarantee for a 5-year-old vaccinated before that child can get their chicken sticks. what s your
