Looks to me to be the often seen reaction when 2 player square up, that one then implies the others breath stinks. Seen it a 100 times before. Bong has probably misinterpreted this.
It depends why he said he stinks if it was something along the lines of you ______s always stink, then how anyone can claim that isn't racist is beyond me.

.....IF it was something along those lines then I’m sure all would agree with you.

It just amazes me that people jump to assumptions either way he might have been childish or highly offensive, I expect we will find out either way.
The "B.O." thing seems very unlikely to me. If there is a single professional footballer anywhere who doesn't stink to high heaven after running around a football pitch for an hour or so wearing a polyester shirt, I'd suggest he's not doing his job.
For those that havent seen it I tried to find a video, yet in this day and age when everything is on twitter, I cant find one person who took a video of MOTD.
All you could see on MOTD was Bong square up to Rodriguez, Rodriquez held his nose and made a 'smelly hand gesture' Bong then said something about Racism to the referee to which Rodriguez looked completly shocked about.

If that's all you could see on MOTD it's probably best not to draw conclusions now, let's wait and see what comes out in the wash over the next few days/weeks.
Look guys, I know that what I have said has obviously caused a mini uproar and please don’t think that I agree with the point I am making. Someone being racist and someone saying they smell of B.O are two completely different things in my view. I was however making the point that I have seen it first hand that with connotations in modern society as they are going mad, some people do find it offensive and have seen it taken in a racist way.
I know I said ‘and rightly so’, and maybe that wasn’t the exact phrase I was looking for, it does insinuate that I agree, when I don’t, but ultimately we don’t know what was said, and this thread has also showed how unfortunately it seems we can’t say anything without it being potentially taken the wrong way or offensively.
Maybe I should stop here before I dig myself a hole due to my poor explanation.

I wouldn't worry about it. Those people who see racism everywhere are only matched in their fervour by those who want to be outraged by political correctness gone mad. This thread was always going to turn or like this.
What if, hang with me here, he made a gesture about Bong smelling bad....wait for it...and said something racist...at the same time.
DUN DUN DUN!!!!!!
What if, hang with me here, he made a gesture about Bong smelling bad....wait for it...and said absolutely nothing racist...and....wait for it.....Bong made the whole thing up to cause the most uproar possible due to Rodriguez winding him up and Bong only having the very powerful and emotive race card in his back pocket?

Crazy, I know.
DUN DUN DUN indeed!!!!!!
meh mine was funnier
Now, obviously I have no idea what Rodriguez said. My comment was in response to those outraged claiming "ahhhhh saying someone smells isn't racism it's PC world gone mad!!!" when they don't know what was said.

And could just be following the Mason Holgate line who could have been subject to racism from Firmino himself or could have retreated behind the racism card himself after throwing the latter into the stands

Professional lip readers have already confirmed Firmino was not racist.
Firmino doesnt speak english Holgate doesnt speak Portuguese
Why did Holgate assume what Firmino said was racist

worldcountry gone fucking madShould @cabbles resign from his position as a moderator after ‘smellgate’ last summer?
We need an independent review.
@i_b_b_o_r_g - can you look in to it?
Why is everyone going on about B.O. and saying that calling someone smelly is not racist? That does not appear to be the issue.
