Eni Aluko quiting broadcasting for good.

Re: Eni Aluko quiting broadcasting for good.

You must be kidding us here? It is you who have homed in on her skin colour and gender Bob.

It is you who is deciding this has to be the determining factor, and you who is essentially accusing people of racism, with zero evidence whatsoever.

Quit dividing people on race and gender where there is zero evidence of it.

As for social media, that's social media for you. People dish out insults all the time and you turn away all the time.

Indeed, if this forum counts as social media then today you have essentially accused people of being racist with no evidence. So hardly in the best position to accuse others of being nasty online.

Here you go on your high horse yet again.

Colour of skin is just one of four criteria I’ve talked about -it’s perfectly simple. Some people don’t like her because she’s black, some don’t like her because she’s a woman, some don’t like her because she’s a woman who played football, then made a living talking about football and some do’n’t like her for, sometimes dodgy, opinions and then there are those who don’t like her for all of those reasons.

High horse 😂 you swanned in labelling people racist!

But you have absolutely zero evidence for it. None at all. And yet you zone in on her characteristics and decide that's what people are basing their opinion on. You aren't reducing racial differences, you are amplifying them.

There's no evidence for what you allege at all. As stated earlier, two of her biggest critics in this story are Laura Woods and Ian Wright.

You should listen to people's words not prejudge them by their gender and race.

Re: Eni Aluko quiting broadcasting for good.

So why weren't people up in arms when Lawro played the race card? Can't remember simon Jordan or his enabler, Jim White getting him on and grilling him.

Why bother? He was boring and rubbish. If he had asked for an interview with Jordan and White, they would have put him straight.

He was a good player, though and got the job in the first place because he had played the game at the highest men's level, but the game changed, and his experience years earlier became outdated.

They also didn’t clamour to keep him either.

He was crap. As are a significant number of current presenters. Some are grandfathered in and need to go (the old white men) and some are put there for DEI again who need to be replaced.

For me the best at the moment is Gary Neville and that’s not because he’s white or male. He’s just very good.

And so on he goes droning about racism for the rest of the night probably.

This is like that Will Self/Mark Francois video.

Come off it. Many people have a racial bias but don't even realize they have it.

Have you done the test? I bet you have and you don't like the result and that's why you haven't told us all.

Re: Eni Aluko quiting broadcasting for good.

She said that she has worked with some brilliant broadcasters therefore she must be a brilliant broadcaster! She also compared herself to Wayne Rooney.

She is an absolutely deluded buffoon completely devoid of any self awareness. It is no wonder she is so widely disliked.

It would help if you stopped confusing the podcast she did and yesterdays show.

It goes without saying that many people have an inherent bias against certain groups, be it racial, gender, sex, religious, political, age, geographic etc. That's a different debate.

That doesn't mean you can blindly dismiss what people are saying and imply it's all about those characteristics and not the character or actions of the individual in question.

Aside from anything else, it makes a total mockery of real and serious incidents of racism.

I'll do your test this evening 👍

Re: Eni Aluko quiting broadcasting for good.

Nah most people seem to love Alex Scott and she has the full house of being gay.

This one just constantly plays the victim card.

The language of "this one" alone tells a story

Also Alex Scott has received more abuse than probably any other presenter, she was even threatened with acid being thrown in her face

So you've done a great job of proving Bob's point there

Have you watched her interview Bob?

She asked to go on the show and wanted the coverage; she thought she would come out great on it and thinks she's a brilliant pundit.
