That photo is, at best, a reminder that international sport of all kinds has pretty much always been made political.

Anyway, anyone kicking up shit about UEFA refusing the rainbow lighting, suggested to send a message to Hungary, who isn't also actively pushing to have their national team boycott the World Cup in Qatar, well, if for no other reason they can be ignored for that one.

That photo is, at best, a reminder that international sport of all kinds has pretty much always been made political full of misguided, run with the crowd, soul selling, virtue signalling just because it's "in" rather than it signalling any actual virtue on the part of the sender, bullshit. It fully explains why sports should stay the fuck out of it, and even if they haven't before they can and should still start right now.

Fully agree.

Agree fully, but stronger.

Soccer hates gays.

Soccer hates gays.

They kicks balls for heavens sake. They hate men. Big if true.

It sticks in the craw slightly but that is an excellent point.

I'm glad I don't follow sports, there's too much bullshit attached to it.

Has anyone watched the news channel GB news? Ive caught bits of it and I really think I want to beat Dan Wottoon with a toilet brush over his smug kiwi face.
He was on the other night complaining how the new version of The Weakest link has Romish Ragansthan hosting it and had very wittedly (or so he thought) dubbed it the'wokest' link. That jock who does the Coast Program was on it and that blonde screeching women carol something or other was on all having a big circle jerk.

I actually think Romish will be good on the show. If you don't you're probably just being racist.

Aye but can he do the wink

I understand that this sentiment will go against the general thrust of this thread but I'm watching That 70s Show for the first time in twenty years, and what once seemed like an innocent lightweight sitcom now reveals itself for the problematic, backwards, hateful and bigoted work it truly is. The episode that is currently boiling my blood has the kids all doing careers day and the gag is that Jackie is working as a mechanic. As if a beautiful strong independent woman of colour couldn't possibly thrive in such a patriarchal environment. Of course, she smashes it (and why wouldn't she, you fucking Nazi??) to much ensuing ironic hilarity. Hello! Way to drag society backward by, what, fifty years! It's disgusting. And don't even get me started on the sickening caricature of an immigrant that is Fez. Is his accent even real? I doubt it. I think it's appalling that this sick filth is still being aired, and I haven't even mentioned Donna, who is a hottie and a GINGE! Sick, sick, sick...

Haven't watched any of it but I was looking at a gbnewsfails twitter account which is pretty funny. I thought the advertisers running a mile after the launch was an indicator that it might have something going for it but still not enough to go as far as looking at it.

The amount of times the camera is not in the right direction, or on a completely irrelevant guest when someone else is talking or if the sound doesn't come on for a guest for a good few seconds does make it look very amateurish. There was a report that a Welsh episode of paw patrol out drew it in the ratings, but if GBN our drew the BBC or Sky news does that not say more about our news in general?

[astfgyl]

Yeah that gbnewsfails is riddled with that sort of stuff. It seems to have a sort of Channel 5 level of quality. That in itself is no bad thing for a laugh but makes it seem a bit like the Daily Sport vs the apparent Sunday Times that is the BBC news. (apparent).

Here's an offended chap that I just saw and found funny https://twitter.com/i/status/1410062473642733570

If BBC reported the news without adding the postmodern, social justice stuff, it'd blow GB News out of the water.

The multicultural crew of the Mayflower (I know right, fascinating) and 'suspected' of 'far right' 'sympathies' are going to annoy rather than inform.

I like Neil Oliver, though. Passionate about his work.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Romesh Ranganathan as host of The Weakest Link is perfect...for keeping his chronically unfunny persona off my radar.

[livingabortion]

He like to keeps throwing out there that he's Asian too, as if people wouldn't know (Dickhead). He doesn't do himself any favours.
