If you tried to bang my girlfriend and said "oh well, the foot pump didn't work anyway" do you think that would be acceptable? |
That's not the same thing at all.
For that to work as a comparison she would have had to agree to the 'meet' but then not go through with it.
Again, I appreciate it probably wouldn't be the best thing to do to someone, but if it's any consolation, it wouldn't be the worst thing I've ever done.
That doesn't quite wash, but I stand by the point that your attempt at equivalence is rubbish. |  |

I'm wondering what the worst thing you've ever done is now... |  |

Obviously I wouldn’t disagree with that. I’m just saying players can’t carry on doing it forever | |

They can carry on doing it until racism is eradicated. It might take a long time but that shouldn't stop them. |  |

There's nothing 'obviously' about it as far as you're concerned.
This thread is a cesspit. |  |

I'm not non pc. I said l may not agree with the OP. But this guy goes round swearing and name calling all the time. Argues and then just goes into one. As l said not very articulate. |
You bang the drum for the Tories, who are quite literally the opposite of being politically correct. | | | |

As a one time gesture it made a good point but if it gets over done it will become counter productive as it will just fuel those who think it’s all pc nonsense. Just my opinion. | |

You’re quite welcome to speak freely here and you often do. It makes you look like a thick, uneducated cretin but nobody is stopping you from doing it. | | | |

So because racists get offended by people protesting against racism then people shouldn't protest against racism? Okay mate. | |

Genuine question - why does it bother you? |
Interesting, a perfectly reasonable question put in a polite way.
As yet, not answered. |  | | |

Absolutely not what I said. You have wilfully misconstrued my point. What I’m saying is that a gesture becomes less powerful the more it is repeated. | |

I dont agree with that
A simply repeated act like that can continue to have effect partly in helping those affected realise that they aren't forgotten.
If it was meaningless people wouldn't still react to it |  |

Or it makes people think this isn't going away. The Premier League brand has been built on the superstar players, a large number of them black. The Premier League should use that platform to lead the fight. Then other clubs in the pyramid can decide if we want to join them or whether we're happy to look the other way and pretend it's not happening.
You say it's becoming less powerful but with all due respect to them I can't tell you one thing Kick It Out or Show Racism The Red Card have done. This is direct action from the players. It's powerful because at kick off almost everyone is in their seats in normal times or everyone is in front of their tv ready for the game.
The whole thing takes about 5 seconds. Over a season if you watch us in all 46 league games it will 'cost you' less than 4 minutes. | |
