Ajax icon Cruyff accused of racism

More about:

The row between Amsterdam Ajax football club and Johan Cruyff hit a new low on Monday, with the footballing legend being accused of making racist and sexist remarks about two of his fellow supervisory board members.

Late on Sunday, Edgar Davids claimed Johan Cruyff told him, “you're only on the board because you're black." According to Dutch public broadcaster NOS, Cruyff said Marjan Olfers was “only on the board because she's a woman.”

On Sunday Cruyff said he was unwilling to continue working with Ajax’s current supervisory board members after they appointed Louis van Gaal as chairman of the management board without consulting him. Speaking to journalists outside the Amsterdam Arena stadium, Johan Cruyff said the move was “unacceptable" but it was up to the club as to what happened next.

After a meeting of the club's members’ council on Sunday, Ajax chair Uri Coronel said there was a “breach of trust between Johan Cruyff and the other members of the supervisory board.”

Meanwhile, Uri Coronel, Joop Krant and Cor van Eijden will stand down as members of the club's management as of today. Their departure was announced in March but the date will now be brought forward. An interim board will be nominated at the next members’ council meeting, currently scheduled for the end of the month.

The Cruyff-Ajax soap opera rumbles on but it has taken a very unpleasant turn. Expect another episode soon.

Everybody says there is this RACE problem. Everybody says this RACE problem will be solved when the third world pours into EVERY white country and ONLY into white countries.

The Netherlands and Belgium are just as crowded as Japan or Taiwan, but nobody says Japan or Taiwan will solve this RACE problem by bringing in millions of third worlders and quote assimilating unquote with them.

Everybody says the final solution to this RACE problem is for EVERY white country and ONLY white countries to “assimilate,” i.e., intermarry, with all those non-whites.

What if I said there was this RACE problem and this RACE problem would be solved only if hundreds of millions of non-blacks were brought into EVERY black country and ONLY into black countries?

How long would it take anyone to realize I’m not talking about a RACE problem. I am talking about the final solution to the BLACK problem?

And how long would it take any sane black man to notice this and what kind of psycho black man wouldn’t object to this?

But if I tell that obvious truth about the ongoing program of genocide against my race, the white race, Liberals and respectable conservatives agree that I am a naziwhowantstokillsixmillionjews.

They say they are anti-racist. What they are is anti-white.

Anti-racist is a code word for anti-white.

Cruyff the emperor, l'Etat(Ajax) c'est moi! What an absurd and obtuse mentality.Thank God he never became a worldchampion!

With due apologies to the ardent Cruyff fans, why does he keep himself above the game that has given him the name and fame? He needs to introspect-what is important-his ego or Ajax football?
