David Icke - Son of God Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 http://prpretaporter.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/public_relations_for_dummies.jpg I've got that book I've met Andrew Lisgo who runs their PR department a few times. Great lad who is really good at his job. He's been dropped right in it by the club. This is your area of expertise. What should had Sunderland done PR wise? Not appoint a fascist. That simple. It's not as if this is something that's just came out since he took the job. His political views are known to all. They sound aggrieved that they're being taken to task over this issue but what did they expect? It's not as if he has much in the way of pedigree to distract from the fact he's the man who gave a Nazi salute to a vile section of Lazio's support.

summerof69 Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 I honestly couldn't give a monkeys if Di Canio's a fascist, a nazi, a tory or a f***ing moomin. That's his business. As long as he takes them clowns down he can do whatever else he likes. I personally find this amazing.. You really dont care about openly fascist views being given a platform by a high profile manager within the PL? You really dont care that an openly racist viewpoint will potentially now be given some credence and time? Have we sunk so far, become so de-politacized as a society that a "blind eye" can be turned to these vile, pernicious and abhorent views? I know its sport, and for many the two shouldnt mix. I disagree, I remember the same arguements around sport and the openly racist South Africa during the apartheid years. The apeasers and apologists making the same noises... Its a sad day for sport that this man is allowed anywhere near our national game. Yes its the mackems, but some things are actually more important than football,,this is one of em. He isnt a misguided young un, one of the skin heads selling the bulldog ouside SJP from the 70s and 80s that we had to contend with. A youngster feeling marginalised by society, easy prey for the base arguements of "3 million blacks, 3 million on the dole"et al.... Hes a certified, self confessed ideological fascist and by that ideological link a racist, anti semite, anti trade unionist, anti sexual freedom... it wasnt just the heat of the moment rash fascist salute in 2005/6..This guys a committed racist. Lets laugh at the Mackems eh? I wonder if any of their Jewish, Bangaladeshi, Indian, Pakistani or other ethnic minority supporters are laughing. I wonder if any of the elderly population, who fought against fascism in the 30s and 40s are laughing? We should actually be uniting with any of their support who are rightly disgusted at this appointment by showing some solidarity with them. I see there was actually an Anti Fascist Action event on in Wearside this weekend...ironic. It would be very difficult to keep politics out of football, given that certain clubs have been built around a certain people's identity, religion, or status of class with in society. For as long as the clubs have existed, Rangers and Celtic, have been engulfed in a rivalry that has been based around religion. St Pauli as a club, have been built around left wing socialism and in Argentina you have Boca v River a rivalry based around the wealthy against the poor, there are many other examples how politics have crept in to the game, which now would make it extremely difficult remove from the game . If we were to say politics should have no place in football, does that mean we can't have "kick racism out of football" campaigns ? If you have a view on racism one way or the other, then that is a political opinion, personally i believe that everyone should be allowed to participate in either watching or playing football, regardless of race, gender or sexual orientation, and that could be also argued as a political stance.

Ishmael Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 I've really tried, but I just cannot make heads nor tails of that Di Canio statement. At what point in that jumble of words does he refute the allegations made? Would like him to get a Newsnight interview with Paxman to clear things up.
