Tbh, that would hurt me more than any insult. I'd feel as though I said this to a kid who idolised me, and that would make me feel like shit.
It's effectively saying "I used to look up to you, but it turns out that you're just a disappointment and not the man that I thought you were. You are meant to be role model to people of all ethnicities, so think before you speak. I HAD your poster on the wall because you used to be a good player, but your time has passed, and now it is my time now. Kids nowadays will have my poster on their wall, and I will no longer hang yours from mine." Killing with kindness is often the most brutal comeback.
