Started last season too they'd have upcoming news on arsenal or spurs etc so your expecting somthing on the mens game and it was news on the woman's teams that no ones bothered about. I really can’t emphasise how grim I find your opinions sometimes. Whoever “they” are, nobody is forcing anything on to you - you can literally just not watch it by choosing to do literally anything else when it’s on. Before the match today I had conversations with every person I was with about the final, and every person I spoke to (10-15 people, I’d guess) all said they are watching the final and all were looking forward to it. It’s a positive thing for gender equality, it’s a positive thing for the country at a time when it’s not in a good state and it’s a positive thing for sport.

Disco Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Weird as I watched Soccer Saturday and latterly the highlights on itv4 of the EFL and it looked exactly the same as every other time I have done. Match day undecidedly not ruined. Not a mention of the lasses and programming as usual. Odd that. Not going to lie however, I’ve been very distressed to the point of tears that during the womens euros the leftwaffe and wokerati have blocked my channels meaning an honest white man like myself can’t use the “doofer” to watch real programmes like The Bill and Londonistan’s Burning. I’ve written to my beloved Ric Holden to see if he can force the police to open a much needed case over it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafalove Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 (edited) Got to say the whole thing seems rather pointless in hindsight. When this started I expected a real push towards certain policies. Blank names on cv’s, more transparency from police, talking heads from the actual organisation doing the rounds and making the case policy x,y,z. instead we got nothing. In the end this whole thing might have been counter Productive and just stirred up division for nothing. Edited August 2, 2022 by Rafalove Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was performance not it's wider scheme of things ? Could someone from a mid table club have the best game ever but nah, it didn't win you anything or save you from relegation.

Don't think it's anything to do with stirring up division really, it's more that people are far too willing to let these things become cop-out replacements for actual systemic change. No denying it's had a big impact and I have no issue with anyone taking the knee, but I do find it crazy how quickly it's gone from: Colin Kaepernick risking and losing a lot in a stand against racially motivated police brutality, on his own, largely against the establishment, and it being a huge talking point. to It being co-opted by inherently racist companies and an establishment that only want to use it for PR, it being expanded to 'all forms of discrimination', and it now being diluted to the point where it's becoming a solely symbolic gesture that's getting closer and closer to having about as much impact as Kick Racism out of Football. It's an obvious tactic to suppress any chance for actual change. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to be one of the most influential. Given the fact that we—thanks to him—managed to lose a game we dominated, was effectively the difference between us and Man Utd winning the league.

Rafalove Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 I think it has stirred up division. I mean anytime you bring the topic of race up it’s going too. It was worth doing in the short run though, if actual policies were going to be atleast put forward for discussion. Instead of grabbing their moment and running with it they’ve done nothing. All we’ve done is talk about racism for the sake of it. A few non white people on adverts isn’t going to change the daily reality all that much for the vast majority of people. Having Black Lives Matter written accross our screens every so often isn’t really going to change anyone’s mind. They’ve been invisible and probably someone like Gary Neville has spoken more about this issue than I’ve seen anyone from black lives matter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defender gets the ball at right back, dribbles past 9 opposition players, knocks it over the head of the last defender and overheads it past the lkeeper from 30yds.....yeah but it was Southampton against Palace and both teams were safe so didn't count for anything really ?
