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

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.

It is if you make a point not wearing one when you are in the public eye.


But other than that there is nothing political about wearing a badge to commemorate the war dead.

Parm would give away half the country if we were invaded. Said so himself. Wouldn’t pay that much attention to his patriotic nonsense.

such aggression, calm down lads its only a game

[Beso]

What parm said was, he would give up the whole nation if it kept his family safe.

[Glenn.]

The mere fact you thought that was aggressive kinda proves my point

[Crimson Dynamo]

No need to snap, lets keep the discourse friendly

no need to get another thread shut down

[Glenn.]

The baity threads do need to stop

It wasn't my intention for any arguments to breakout on here.

Admittedly I did make the thread title a bit clickbaity to get the topic some attention, but I am still hoping for the discussion to be civil on both sides.

But yeah, I like my conflict more on TV rather than on here or irl personally.

Rangers have described the display by supporters of an anti-woke banner at their Europa League game against Fenerbahce - and which has led to a disciplinary charge from Uefa - as "shameful" and "embarrassing".

The Scottish Premiership club also hit out at the throwing of objects on to the pitch, and the continued use of pyrotechnics, saying fans who carry out such acts are not welcome at their matches.

While thanking most supporters for their recent backing during games against the Turkish side and Celtic, Rangers state, external it is "deeply saddening and frankly embarrassing that the club is now set to face significant sanctions for the actions of a very small minority".

The banner displayed at Ibrox during Thursday's aggregate win over Fenerbahce stated: "Keep woke foreign ideologies out - defend Europe."

i mean i myself am fed up about the whole anti-turkiye haters against my team Fortuna Sittard, especially on certain forums in my nation, they have quite a xenophobic title for their club thread


i am happy with our current owner Isitan Gun, well co-owner, since Azerion also have shares here


he also doesn't cause controversies with throwing too much money into the club, which the KNVB doesn't like, we are on their radar tbh, so we need to be careful not to turn into a Vitesse 2.0 but thankfully our director of football Americo Branco is quite creative in finding free agents, players with expiring contracts




but honestly, haters gonna keep hating, and we are solidly in a 8th place this season, even still very much in with a chance european ticket play offs



also the atmosphere from our fans is one of the competitions best i think, even our away fans, never cause too many problems unlike the hooligans from Ajax, Feyenoord, PSV or ADO Den Haag

[Nicky91]

btw we even have someone famous among our hardcore fans

top road cyclist Tom Dumoulin, and he is not even from Sittard, but from Maastricht, but he is a hardcore fortuna fan, with scarf and everything

[bots]

just about everything in life is a political message and when you get a large group that collects together to support or attack a message, then it most certainly is political

[bots]

The whole poppy thing is political. It's the government begging for money to look after our ex servicemen rather than funding it directly from the government coffers. I don't think anything could be more political than that

Your post explained it a lot better than mine did.

I'm really bad at explaining my point on here sometimes, especially this morning for some reason.

Mock, I have told you before. 3 pints of Guinness does not constitute a good breakfast

(you should also have a slice of toast)
