[Football] Well said, Tyrone Mings

[Tyrone Biggums]

To create discussion - It is doing a brilliant job of that

Well it is to a degree. It's not really providing any solutions or changing any minds though.

Good idea, you should start a thread about it. This thread is about something different.

No it's the same thing. Man City owners are slave traders. That's as racist as it gets.

This is about racism in football isn't it?

Well for most of us it is about a fairly narrow topic

For you is about whatever you can drag into it in order to deflect from said topic.

Yes I can see your view of racism in football is incredibly narrow.

No wonder it's not getting anywhere slowly.

Flattering as it is, I think you are overestimating my influence a litte.

I was going to put my plate in the dishwasherafter dinner this evening.

Suddenly my wife screamed at me "Don't bother!!!! Stop preaching, I know that plate needs cleaning . . . tomorrow it will be dirty again. nothing will change because of your symbololgy"

I asked why and she replied "Your futile gesture will not clear up the rest of the dishes, look at all these other dishes in the kitchen. What a waste of time"

She continued "and you left a mess on the coffee table earlier, you ****ing hypocrite!! Why don't you show the same amount of passion for the lounge as you do for that plate."

So **** it, I won't do anything.

In fairness I do agree with your wife.

Plates get grubby.
Cars get dirty.
Gardens get weedy.
Carpets get mucky.

Why do we bother.

Whatever he says abt priti Patel, he still an arrogant horrible tosser

Everyone's entitled to their own view. But I think you're wrong. From what I've seen and heard of Mings he's an intelligent, articulate, grounded individual. A little while back I heard him being interviewed by Jake Humphrey. It's genuinely worth a listen

Well I've no issue with the knee. It has no impact on fixing anything but if they feel the symbolism does good then more power to them.

I said what I meant. How serious are athletes about racism if they are taking money from somewhere that's committing crimes against humanity and potentially genocide?

Added while there were a few dimwit racists who abused these players I prefer to view the overwhelmingly majority who came out and supported them as the true picture as the true nature of the majority of people.

One idiot can leave a racist tweet, but tens of thousands will leave messages of support from all walks of life.

Just because you can't do everything, it doesn't mean you should do nothing

You and Biggums need to get together and produce a list of requirements that someone needs to fulfil in order to be against racism. Clearly some of these footballers are falling well short of the bar you are setting to be against racism. Plus, if you order 2 x whataboutery T-shirts together, you'll probably get a discount.

What has Mings got to do with gang culture and London stabbings? Or are all black people now guilty by association in your world?

Strewth this is worse than even some of the shite Tweedle Pink and Tweedle Lite come out with,

You are of course aware that the number one demographic involved in terrorist incidents in the last 5 years is white males.

Therefore (by your own logic), you need to be doing more to combat this, don’t you? Or are you talking utter ****ing shit? Which of the two?

I believe that Tweedle Pink is now temporarily banned for being racist yet again, the same as his friend Tweedle Fergus.

Apparently they are only allowed to post racist/anti-semite/homophobic/etc bile on NSC during certain periods as defined by the owner and mods. Well I guess that's a start (small steps and all that)

Tweedle Pink is banned but mostly for being a dick and posting the same video over and over again.
