So it turns out the owner of Romanian club Steaua Bucharest is a real piece of work.
Not like this owner, but a real, legitimate lowlife, according to recent quotes attributed to him.
Steaua owner Gigi Becali said Thursday he’s changing his club’s transfer policy. No longer will the Romanian giants buy black players from Africa. If the team buys a black player, he will be from Europe.
Becali explained why:
“The African guys can not work. No civilization, no education. … They are rude.”
In light of Becali’s atrocious comments, we at The18 have compiled an all-Africa XI that will never play for Steaua but could undoubtedly kick Steaua’s ass.
