mistakes?

you place too much emphasis on words, not deeds. What if he was the best person for the job? what if the FA made great strides in diversity under his stewardship? Is it better to have someone who wants to make real change for the better, but isn't up to date with the current terminology, or is it better to have someone who is woke but hasn't a clue about how to make change happen?

I've said it before, we're in danger of throwing the baby out with the bathwater if we get upset over every single thing.
I can accept your point on him tbh, I can also understand why he thought it was necessary to step down.

I don't think the people I'm talking about needing to shout down are in the same league, I'm talking about genuine racists/sexists/homophobes etc.

He was just a bit a berk , I can understand both points of view on his resignation.
