hypochondriac

It's an odd thing to bring up. Him being black or uneducated-if that is what he is- has nothing to do with it. It's actually a smart decision on his part or whoever is advising him. If I had the cash and the high profile I'd probably do it too.

I think there's both cultural and ethnic reasons why some groups prefer certain professions over others. I think we all accept that there are biological factors between ethnicties which means they are going to be better or more attracted to certain roles than others.

That's a weird prejudice for you to express. I think that because he used and continues to use a PR firm: Marcus Rashford, the Manchester United star whose free school meals campaign forced the government into a u-turn earlier this month, has join Roc Nation, the American talent agency founded by Shawn Carter, better known as Beyonce's other half Jay-Z. The Telegraph has today reported that the footballer actually signed to the agency in April, and now represents him in his philanthropic work as well as PR and marketing.

Let's entertain the idea for a moment that it is true that one reason there are less participation in football from young women and girls is because they don't like the football being kicked at them. Don't you think that would be worthy of a discussion when talking about lower participation rates?

With respect, I really doubt that particular campaign has an awful lot to do with Marcus Rashford himself and an awful lot more to do with his PR team though I suppose your point could be that Clarke should have employed something similar?

So do you not think there are personality traits that on average are shared to a greater extent amongst a certain ethnicity or cultural group? Not exactly beyond the realms of possibility that this would lead to certain groups of people favouring some professions over others.

But equally understandable why the club are not releasing the specifics?

That's amazing. Thanks for sharing.

Agreed. Not a chance will it be an old white man regardless of their ability.

Reading this topic reminds me of that time some weirdo on here tried to persuade everyone that using the word "Chinaman" was terribly insulting and pointed to some obscure American article as proof.

Educate yourself 😆hysterical. I tried to educate myself by looking in the dictionary and it told me that the word "mong" is slang for "a foolish person." It's still funny that you jumped to outrage over a typo. Oh and Mings was acting incredibly foolish so it's not that out of place then going by that definition.

It was a typo but absolutely hilarious that you've gone all faux outraged over it. Stop being such a mong.

I was just coming in here to write that! I read the story and I couldn't find the offensive language as I assumed it was something actually offensive.

Yes because it doesn't make the word "colour" the subject and they would argue prevents the individual from being defined solely by the colour of their skin.

They would argue that the term "person of colour" centres the person rather than their colour. In summary it's bollocks.

TBF haven't fox news been broadly calling the election for Biden?

I see Mongs is already putting the pressure on to replace him with someone darker skinned.

I know someone who is a nurse who works in track and trace and she says there's been much less examples of losing sense of smell in this second wave. Could be a different variant?

Hope all goes OK.

If this vaccine works at a long term effectiveness of 90% then there will be no need to have a vaccine with a higher percentage.

Great article. Also reminded me how much I love it when JWP winds up Zaha.

In my opinion you're not a football fan if you want to see technology taking multiple minutes to try to figure out if a goal should be disallowed because the flawed technology determines that there could be a possibility that the striker was offside by a gnats bollock. Or if you are comfortable with VAR deciding that someone's arm is offside because they are pointing where they want the ball played. If they carry on with football like that then I can guarantee that it will stay to lose its appeal for many and will not be as popular.

So you just agreed with my post then (albeit there is potential for a slightly higher instance given the amount of postal ballots this time around.)

Not sure why it's so difficult. Clear and obvious is what it should be. If it's a decision that can't be determined quickly and easily within about 30 seconds with slow motion replays then the attackers get the benefit of the doubt. If you have to stay drawing lines or look in terms of millimetres then that's when you don't overturn the decision. Common sense.

Hard to disagree with that either. Both sides have been pretty awful that's why the best hope is that Biden does become some sort of unifying and moderating force.
