I warned two months ago that about sport getting involved in politics and was attacked by the usuual suspects.

You now have a situation where sports all over the western world are kneeling in solidarity with a marxist organistion which in itself is openly racist, just research some of the stuff that has come out of the BLM leaders mouths. If you want to support BLM, fine, thats your choice but this should be nowhere near sport, join the mobs defacing war memorials and pulling down historic statues if thats your thing.

Talking to a couple in their late seventies the other day that have been friends of the family for years. They have been Wigan season ticket holders and Rugby League nuts for decades. It was actually them that got me going to games in the 80s, they used to take me when i was a teenager. They are disgusted by whats taking place and said they will not put another penny into the game. These are people that i expected would be at games until they could no longer physically manage to get there. They are some of the nicest people you could wish to meet and will put themselves out to do anything for anybody, but go ahead, call them racists with your college view of the world.

As i said weeks ago, this should never of been allowed to creep into sport. Fair play to IF and others that are not afraid to break the trend.

Facts are facts.

Unless they are "Alternative Facts" - We know the Right like to use those as well

Jesus, are the useful idiots still falling for the dead cat "culture war" distractions?

Quote ="Jukesays"I was surprised to learn that the Middle east only became a problem in 2008 - I thought it had been going on a lot longer than that? Anyway - in Post's statement he does intimate that Hillary Clinton herself said "Hillary Clinton made the middle east more volatile, I gave perfect examples from [uhorses mouth herself [/uas to why it was a mistake to get rid of Gaddafi" Had a look at the links provided - Not really sure I see any evidence there that she regrets her actions? Whilst https://foreignpolicy.com/2016/04/14/hi ... out-libya/'" Who said it only became a problem then? The middle east has always been a problem and always will, it needs people like Hussein and Gaddafi because they are the lesser of two evils, I don't agree with them as leaders and the things they did but what's the alternative? A less safer world? The UK and Europe have witnessed terror attacks as a result of getting rid of Hussein and Gaddafi, we would be safe to walk the Christmas markets, to walk around London and so on had we left then to it. If Clinton doesn't regret the decision that's even worse. They need to learn their lessons and stay away from the middle east, let them get on with their own business.

See there's plenty room on the bandwagon now everybody has jumped off and moved to the next issue. Maybe it was a bad idea to take a political stance. Now 400 turning up instead of 1,000,000 makes you think. https://www.itv.com/news/2020-08-30/mil ... cism-rally Now further down the road in Trafalgar Square there were thousands protesting against vaccines, 5g and lizard people, should the club take a stance on them too? Maybe warm up in tin foil hats? https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.thegua ... est-london (By the way, I am trolling.)
