It's A Big (Football) Club And You Ain't In It

Ah yes, the Football Association, where soccer is a mere backdrop to the real business of pandering to the chattering class.

First up, let's see how black stacks up against gay in FA Victimhood Poker: 

Middlesbrough defender Marc Bola has been warned and ordered to complete an education course over a homophobic social media post from when he was 14.

Bola, now 24, accepted a Football Association charge brought after the historic tweet, written in April 2012 when he was a child at the Arsenal Academy, came to light last year.

Yeah, take that you fiend! Zero tolerance for children making a single offensive tweet even if it was ten years ago!

I guess that means gay beats black this time around. 

Don't be shocked though but the rules are a little different for the really important people:

The complaint has been dealt with in the strictest confidentiality inside the FA, who are understood to have offered guidance and advice to John. 

The informal letter cites a number of instances where the employee believes John has over stepped the mark. 

John, in the complaint, is accused of shouting, being dismissive, giving unjust criticism, using aggressive tactics and malicious behaviour.

Yep, she's promoting diversity one Downfall video level freakout at a time. 

In a statement released to Sportsmail, John said: ‘At the heart of who I am, I’m an activist and am direct in my communication style.

Yep, just what football needs: an activist. 

Hey, is it worth asking if, say, the people in the Northern Wall get any activist representation or is that the wrong kind of activism?

As a senior Black woman joining the football-industry in the middle of a pandemic, I am honoured that The FA empowered me to try to be a change agent. 

‘A challenge of driving change is that sometimes, I have to be uncomfortably direct. I ask the questions that no-one wants to ask. I have difficult conversations about topics that people haven’t engaged on for centuries and doing that can mean pushing boundaries and people.

Yep. Centuries, my dudes, Centuries. 

Actual founding date of the FA: 1863. 

She clearly has a deep love and passion for our national sport. 

Also: maths is racisss!

‘I have and always will listen to feedback and continue to grow daily as a leader and I hope that the leeway and scope that we as society afford strong, opinionated and vocal Black women continues to grow with me.’

Hey, is it just me or are other people beginning to suspect that she may be both black and a women?

I keep picking up subtle hints.  

Still, if that's the way she wants to play it, what does she think about the time black footballers were caught hanging out with a racist loon?

Any comments, Ms Activist? 

Or how about the time one of Britain's top clubs tried to destroy a man's career with bogus accusations of racism? 

Is the FA now officially neutral on whether or not referees have the right to do their job without fear of retaliation? 

Big clubs pressuring match officials to give decisions their way seems like it could be even more important than naughty tweets. 

And then there's her other claim to victimhood. What does she think about the  situation at Aston Villa? One of their highest profile players slimed the most senior women in British politics using racially-tinged and certainly misogynistic language. 

Does Ms Activist really think women who say things men don't like are provoking trouble or should England footballers maybe try and sound less like the average wife-beater? 

Hey, I only mention it because  it turns out the same club has had a player convicted of a brutal, possibly racially aggravated, rape. 

As Oscar Wilde might say, to hire one misogynistic moron may be unfortunate, but to have two on the books looks like a cultural issue (and he was gay so his view counts double).

But, no, apparently, she's not always 'vocal'! Either that, or she has no strong opinions one way or the other about the whole 'rape' thing (and don't you dare ask her how she defines a woman). 

Then again, why would she not slither away from any difficult issues? When even the supposedly 'right-wing' Daily Mail won't carry any criticism of her without immediately undercutting it with her own self-glorifying twaddle, it's not like she has anything to fear from the palace eunuchs in the MSM. That's the real issue here. 

The fact she is an obnoxious race-hustling piece of crap is her problem, the fact that our demented society has allowed her to make a life and living from it is our problem.
