Sky making a big thing of QPR not taking the knee

So, is he accused of making jokes that aren't funny, like all of us do from time to time, or of being "a misogynist weirdo"? There's a pretty big difference between those two things.

Not really. If you are going to make highly sexist (or racist) ‘jokes’ I’d be extremely wary of doing so on a public message board. Would he say them at work? Would he say them to a large group of people? Maybe to people he knew very well who understood that sort of ‘humour’.

The posts have never been funny and due to their nature are highly likely to offend some people.

Just pointless.

Yet there are comics who come out with a million times worse than Sludge in a public performance.

Last night I caught up with Frankie Boyle's latest series. You either find him funny or not, I like his humour as it's not even on the edge, but he's also a very good wordsmith. A couple of friends of mine used to be big fans of his, but now don't like him as he takes the piss out of Boris Johnson. I guess everyone has their line.

Well said, Bobby.

Why are people up in arms on this thread because some of us are fed up with the knee, and the narrative we’re all racists. Even if we make statistical posts showing the situation in America, is not like the media would have you believe.

Yet, they consider many of Sludge’s demeaning posts about women, as ‘jokes.’

Double standards.

Our fan base is not racist in my opinion, I posted previously I’ve personally heard one comment in over 30 years of attending City and Wales games.

Yet Sludge labels our fan base, with half a dozen comments of incidents he’s seen/heard.

Which are a small handful, when you consider the millions in total, through the gates over those years.

Pretty much all of us abhor racism, but it won’t be eradicated by taking the knee and a black power fist salute. And god help us if the Police were defunded, as they want.

Credit to Les Ferdinand in coming out and speaking so well about it, this week.

Change will only come about through the parents, and how they raise their kids in future generations.

As for Sludge, maybe he should give as much consideration to women, as he does to BLM.

And don’t insult others by labelling them unjustly, as racists.

When it comes to name calling, he shouldn’t give it out, if he can’t take it back.

Bang on.
