It's all about the money.

'Anti racism' groups are massively funded by a wealth of government, corporates and the game. They are like the anti virus companies insomuch as they have an incentive in keeping their...mostly scam going.

Hence, what constitutes 'racism' gets to be smaller and smaller and the reaction to it more and more oddball and disproportionate. Of course you will always have the activist bandwagon class riding on the back of it....for a variety of different reasons.

i bet your a barrel of laughs at party's.

“That’s a joke son, I say, that’s a joke.” “Nice boy, but he’s sharp as a throw pillow.” “He’s so dumb he thinks a Mexican border pays rent” “ “Son… I say, son, some people are so narrow minded they can look through a keyhole with both eyes.”__ Forhorn Leghorn

Let’s be honest, if we were all to meet up and attend a match as a collective, ‘The Holmesdale (Online) Front’, and somebody did that, might be optimistic but I’d be inclined to suggest the vast majority, if not all, would think and perhaps one or two might actually say ‘what a c**t, mind of a child’ etc etc. I’d feel embarrassed to be associated or even within the vicinity of someone like that. At worst it’s juvenile, quite intentionally racist behaviour and at best stupid beyond belief.

My beef would be with the subjectively perceived glee this is often reported with as media outlets almost look to seize any opportunity to report upon it as though they are doing nothing but crusading for justice when really it is motivated exclusively by self interest. I am also inclined to believe that what could potentially be an isolated moment of stupidity often ends up being blown up and utilised to ruin a persons life. Whether this is the case and/or will happen I don’t know but nonetheless have very little sympathy for the individual. The action itself and to claim ignorance of the potentially catastrophic ramifications is not something I’d associate with any competent adult. Some people have had moments of stupidity where they might have thrown a punch in anger during a confrontation and their victim has fallen, hit their head and died. Far worse things happen which may seem unjust but if you’re a middle aged bloke pulling playground associated racist stunts in today’s technological age, that bed is of your own making.

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

Ironically pretty much all of the away end were chanting “w@nker,w@nker” as he ambled past. Is that as unacceptable as this guys gesture which clearly was in the heat of the moment without engaging his brain. Does everyone get banned?
BTW I am not condoning the gesture but I think there should be the opportunity for him to publicly apologise and get on with his life, whereas we all know that won’t happen.
