Maybe it has been? My argument is against the original poster for accusing the player of homophobia when he has no idea why the plain armband has been chosen.

Has anyone here weaponised the term "Woke" yet? That's a good way of detecting a-holes from the non a-holes. As far as making the world a better place. Earth would be a better place without human beings. The thing is, they don't ask for equality. Equality is where everyone has a chance of improving themselves, and is a very good thing to encourage. What they demand is equity, which means they should be given privilege or preference over others because they are somehow seen as oppressed.Ā Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LiM said: Ā Not in the world of professional men's football, where there are still no players who feel able to be out To be fair, I'd argue that 99% of homosexual footballers don't want to talk about it with the media etc - I would imagine within clubs it's relatively obvious based on relationships outside of football etc and spending time with teammates. I don't like the media's desperation for players to out themselves because we all know the media aren't doing it for the good of that person, but just for a story.Ā Of course you could be right about some but my honest opinion is most just don't want any attention put on it, positive or otherwise. 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
By Hook or Ian crook 943 Posted December 13, 2023 I donāt really see the big deal with this, surely inclusion means including and accepting people who donāt share the same views are you. Freedom of speech and choice doesnāt just mean freedom and choice on just the things you agree with. No one really knows why heās declined to wear it but itās certainly no reason to be calling him out for his choice. In fact Iād rather someone be honest with their actions like that than hypocritical like Henderson who then went and joined the Saudis. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However, the trans debate being spearheaded by groups such as Stonewall is asking for rights for a tiny minority, which directly detriments the rights of all females: Many hold this popular view and are vocal on it, such as JK Rowling and Martina Navratilova, however certain parts of MSM have attempted (and failed) to ostracise and cancel them for their views. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
