Let's Kick Politics out of Football

[PalazioVecchio]

Cos we don't bounce a ball around your Parliamentary debating chamber.

Some fans are sick and tired of being preached at. You wouldn't take a sh1.t in my kitchen. So why dump all your unwelcome ideologies onto my entertainments ?

It was unsavoury with Hitler, Jesse Owens and the Olympics. And its still unsavoury today.

I largely agree with this.

The events of the day will always effect things because football is essentially a bringing together of large groups of people and that includes activists.

However how much it's allowed to effect it is definitely a valid talking point.

BLM showed just how rotten it all is.....and I remember it's defenders on here.

I am still not happy over a section of our fans waving Hamas and Palestinian flags last year on the weekend of 7th October.

If I wore a maga hat to a game (which I would not) I'm sure I would get kicked out.

What about philosophy and economics though?

Economics ? well Footballnomics is an exercise in madness. As we have seen with the £330 k that Erling Haaland spend on a handbag for the girlfriend.

Philosophy ?

------------------------------------------------------

as an alternative to 'No Politics in Football' i would offer 'a ton of politics included, yours, mine, everybodies'. The latter to include :

- extra funding for NHS dentures
- superannuated index-linking of Capital Gains Tax onto second homes
- Traffic contra-flow bypass planning regulations

- The bringing back of military conscription for our yoof
- Compulsory wheelchair ramps in the blueprints for all new Public Buildings

......it all looks a bit ridiculous when unfamiliar new shyte gets included. And yet many now consider it acceptable to bore me with a Ukraine speech meanwhile my preference for a nation-state for the Kurds ( Kurdistan ) falls on deaf ears. The genocides & persecutions the Kurds have suffered are right up there with many other persecuted minorities. And their borders have not been respected by many an Evil Empire.

You could get the train from St Pancras to Paris on a Saturday morning and spend the day in The Left Bank.

I seen earlier a Brighton season ticket holder has been banned from football over wearing a Palestine shirt to the game at the weekend. (It's worse even than wearing a Brighton shirt)

I hope it's a lesson to some HFs coming up to the anniversary of the atrocious October 7th attack to not do anything stupid like they did last year.
