I’m saying don’t give them clicks and links. I’ve referenced another hateful terribly bad taste Sun headline last week. But I didn’t go on their twitter or website to do it, I didn’t give them click stats for their advertising revenue stats, I didn’t fund the next filth they spew out. I didn’t have to send traffic their way to point out they are scumbags. They’ve not earned 0.001p from me. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The length that people are going to to discredit the victim or BLM as a political party is nuts Shame there's no college football really, it would really wind the rednecks up no end if their college players went on strike.

villa4europe Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 The MLS players association have said that if the athletic can substantiate their claim about salt lakes owner then they want him to be forced to sell the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Yeah @HanoiVillan came up with it first (on here), I had to google it to see just how much of an insult it was. I’d presumed it was a small scaly Asian mammal but I knew that didn’t quite fit with the rest of what he’d written. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Follyfoot Posted August 28, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted August 28, 2020 (edited) Just been reading about the Black Takeover day on Channel 4 next year where everybody in every program all day will be black. They are even bringing back the Big Breakfast for a one off show. I’m not sure, although probably very well intended that this is the message that needs to be put out, The name itself could be deemed somewhat problematic and is the type of thing black people would want as The whole point I believe is for race to become irrelevant and this could be bizarrely possibly labelled racist. Just seems it may well have been thought out by middle-aged white people who think they know what the black community wants maybe?
