Do you guys think Football is too woke now? Based on Maqwell's YouTube video.
 

What are your opinions about this?

To me I don't really see why some people get so angry at seeing an LGBT armband or flag, I think that you can easily ignore them if they bother you.

I am probably seen as an anti-Woke person to some people depending on the topic, so I'm not someone that's without any sympathy towards everything that the Anti-Woke crowd argues against.

I just personally can't understand or support the anti-LGBT stuff.

football follows the money. We are kidding ourselves if we think its anything else. Sponsors will change, politics will change and football will follow along

woke far left ideology has no place in sport

I've really nothing to add to your post.
I agree with it all.

Your last line particularly is wholly appropriate in my view

Is a flag far left ideology though?

yes


especially with fake footballers like Xavi Simons, whom are more overpaid influencers

It’s the flag of a new "leftist" identitarian establishment that is determined to let the little people know whose ideas rule in the 21st century. Its used by them to pinkwash global businesses. Look here at our flag but not at us making billions etc

its political and ideology and has NO place in football

politics is in sport, it has been upfront and centre for at least 10 years. There is no going back now

It’s only weak fragile men that seem to be triggered by anything related to LGBTQ. This is proven over and over.

Sport itself in the grand scheme of things is completely irrelevant in terms of things that actually matter. It’s a hobby. One that people take way too seriously.

:joker:

This is the worst take ever

See example of fragile man

it's £60 for a child to go and watch Man U play, of course they take it seriously. Billions are spent by clubs in europe every year on players. Nothing could be further from a hobby

If you’re sad enough to be paying that to watch 22 guys kick a football around then that’s on you. Definitely a hobby. An exploited one.

And all those weak fragile women wanting their private spaces back. Dont forget them.

Which isn’t as big a problem as you’ve been led to believe.

Problems don't have to be big to be a problem.


Take attacks on the LGBT community for instance..Its not really a big problem, is it.

Ok I’ll say it’s an issue that’s been extremely exaggerated by the far right. The same ones that are triggered by a flag.

Like attacks on the LGBT community. It's not that big a problem is it.:shrug:

Lmao not biting mate. To me, you don’t have an opinion worth listening too.

Oh!

Thank you for all the replies, I guess!.:cheer2:

So anyway

Football isn’t ‘woke’ at all, the fan base is just made of a large portion of smooth brain morons that hates anything different to them

I do agree that Political stuff like this should not be in Sport, I also think the Poppy shouldn't be forced on players either. That's not to say players shouldn't be allowed to use their platforms to talk about whatever cause they want to in their own time but making the players wear arm bands etc with those symbols on while at work or be ridiculed for refusing is wrong, they're there to play football and shouldn't be coerced into wearing something they don't want to for whatever reason.

The poppy is worn to remember all the footballers who have died in conflict.

It should always be worn.

If you are refusing to do that, then **** off and become a chef or something.

So political messages are OK when you agree with them? Got it.
