Kid Icarus

Wullie[/member] Summary?

Dunno if anyone on here's seen it, but this reminds me a lot of the closing line in Fighting in the Age of Loneliness, a documentary by Felix Biederman about MMA. "If you've somehow made it to the end of this and you're not an MMA fan, I hope you take one thing away from this - this will happen to everything you love. Nothing you like will remain untouched and it'll get further and further monetised into meaninglessness. This isn't just our problem in our idiotic blood sport. You're fucked too."

If it happens we'll sure enough find out the courage in whatever convictions we have. Personally I'm dead against them being owners in every way, but will probably end up being a hypocrite and backing down and watching matches. If ever give them any money to them though, you have permission to throw me off a building.

I don't give a s**** about human rights abuses within the context of a sport Thanks bud. Good to get the moral depravity out in the open. You have no idea of my moral depravity. Keep virtue signalling though, you pure sainted man, sure that'll stop the bombs. You won't support the propaganda vehicle of a murderous, theocratic, terrorism-sponsoring regime? What a lily-livered virtue-signaller you are! Got anything made in China in your house? Got a car? Eat chicken? You turn a blind eye to abuses all the time, every day. Get tae f*** with this holier than thou bullshit. It's a football club. Politics is sorted at the ballot box, not on the pitch. One of the classics, that.

You’ve stopped caring. Now let us celebrate the likely dethroning of the biggest tyrant nufc has had since the last one. We’ll check our moral compasses in due course. All I said was that not being happy about your club being owned by murderers doesn't mean you're virtue signalling.

How many do you think are doing the same but with the concept of us being owned by 'probable murderers' instead of 'muzzies'? Lots, hence the first line of my post

Is it really fair to say that giving a shit about whether your club is owned by murderers and human rights abusers is virtue signalling?

Imagine coming back to the forum after a while away and realising this isn't one of James' wacky football posts, but actually totally reasonable.

I haven't kept up with the forum or this thread for a long time, so I don't know if this has been touched upon before?

This has come a good 18 months after I gave up and stopped caring, annoyingly but big congratulations to you all if it actually goes through this time. :party:
