being a sports fan is about managing your emotions through healthy outlets like harboring hate and nurturing lifelong grudges

First they censored “Protect The Dolls”, now the BBC are censoring pride pin badges leicester.news/bbc-edits-out…
@ anyone who understands the game of association football is it good when this keeps happening
See if you were to give a football fan all of the narratives and opinions of ability for Scales and Murray and have them watch this Celtic game and identify who was who..
they’d all get it wrong.

So a teacher of any nationality can wear their flag, unless they're Palestinian. That's how we define anti-racism in the UK now.

Billionaire leader of anti-trans extremist cult says people with one of the highest poverty and homelessness rates in the UK are "elitist".
J.K. Rowling has published a new essay defending her views on the trans community and calling out trans activism in the 21st century for being "elitist."
"My views haven't changed... what to me represents no change at all in my political or ideological outlook has, in recent years, seen me and women like me subject not only to criticism but also to death threats. This is because we oppose the current, dominant strain of trans activism, which holds that a man who declares himself a woman is, literally, a woman, and is therefore entitled to be treated as a woman in all contexts..."
