They must know who it is, sounds like the local police are winding him up.
I very much imagine many footballers get stopped. They are often young lads (even teenagers) driving 50k+ cars.
The very nature of that will get you stopped no matter what colour you are. Also the very blacked out windows probably don't help.
We have a lad at work who's 22. He recently got a Audi S3 on finance. He's been pulled over 3-4 times in a couple of months. The usual response is 'that's a nice car' from the police and ask what he's up too etc. They just think he's a drug dealer
He's white. Clearly being pulled over for a different 'stereotype' of young lad in S3 = dealer. I don't see him bleating over social media.
I am sure most people would like Danny Roses 'problems'.
No, it's not, by any stretch of the imagination.Teenager profiling, racial profiling - it's the same thing.

I did imagine it and it's not remotely the same.Imagine the train ticket scenario I put forward just now - you don't have to stretch that far.

How can you possibly equate age with ethnicity?I've given my explanation, I'd like to hear yours.
A simple 'not the same' means nothing.
Are you familiar with the phrase "false equivalence"?Imagine the train ticket scenario I put forward just now - you don't have to stretch that far.

Equating age with skin colour is a perfect example, to put it as simply as you seem to need, you don't grow out of being black.
The number of people here dismissing his experiences just shows how far as a society we have to go. Frightening.
Just to clarify I’m not trying to minimise the core issue of racism but I do think there is a bigger picture with the police and how they operate and some of the people in society of any colour that they have to deal with.It’s shameful really, so many posters looking to minimise the core issue and his reality. Sad that folks can’t empathise and imagine being in his shoes. Could be rich or poor or young or old, but always black.
