I wonder what Desiree Washington would have to say about that?

According to Mike, nothing if she knew what was good for her!

Yeah that's about right for a bully boy rapist!!!

 

[CaptainMorgans]

Loads of Kiwis have that soft tone to their voice. Tend to be quite a humble, well-mannered bunch.

The NZ rugby team always operated with a "no dickheads" policy which was heavily policed by the players.
Renowned for sweeping up their changing rooms after themselves and being very respectful to their hosts.

Would think Tyler is from that sort of stock. I certainly wouldn't read into it that he's a soft bloke.

 

[Linz]

I find it so utterly bizarre that a young lad, a long way from home has been subjected to so much speculation for the crime of being... softly-spoken.

Is that all it takes to set some dickheads off these days?

Proper fucking weirdos.

 

[CrookesBlade]

I deleted twitter a couple of years ago, anybody still on there I’d recommend you do the same. There is no downside.

A few years ago I worked as a sheep catcher on an Australian sheep farm as part of a year off. I had to provide sheep for Kiwi shearers. Good lads but wouldn't describe them as humble or well mannered!

 

[JayGreen17]

ONE thing, that the manager has obviously focused on is the need to get in a centre back as a priority, something that back door Wilder fucked up on and ultimately cost him his job, so it’s great to see that there’s some intelligence already in what’s needed!

I met some kiwis this year who absolutely didn't have the soft tone to their voice. Turns out. Born here. Made sense.

I remember when there was speculation about Graeme le Saux's sexuality because he liked reading books!

 

[FTPE]

Ive only just found out he's been getting homophobic abuse online, that's already heartbreaking.
He's only done one interview and he came across so likeable. Really grounded, polite, well spoken and family orientated. It goes without saying that I don't care what his sexual preference is, why the hell has that got anything to do with his football?
But if anyone has any issue with him playing for us because of it, tell them to come and see me

I saw this thread title on the Middlesbrough forum earlier, and thought, 'Wonder if it's about us?':

"If you think there isn’t a homophobia problem in football…"

Opened the thread - yep, it's about us.

Quite a reputation we're getting for ourselves. Depressing.

Link to the thread, in case anyone wants to read it:

If you think there isn’t a homophobia problem in football…

Just look at the comments from the wonderful Sheffield United fans on this. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1F5fVRGQeL/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Yep, really embarrassing that. I'm sure players do read comments about themselves and this is the first they get as a Blade.

Worth noting that some morons aren't even our fans, the Craig guy with his hilarious shower joke (/s) is Sunderland it seems.

 

[Nickydblade]

When I said respect for making a Stand I was commending you for standing up against homophonic behaviour
If you can find one instance of me being homophonic i will delete my account immediately

If I knew a new player was here and could hear that sort of language I would suggest anyone using it should have a lesson to lessen it.

You just have to write what is right sometimes!

Yeah, I ventured on to see and there were Leeds and Barnsley fans, randomly the owner of a bar in Thailand and a few pigs.

I'm not disputing there is an issue (I deleted one such comment from this thread ) but to say it's just Blades is inaccurate.

I called out a Wednesday fan who did the classic neanderthalic “he’s not gonna shag you mate”. Grown men. Probably never lived more than a mile radius from the home they were born in.

There’re everywhere unfortunately.

The issue is they behave this way in front of their kids and the cycle repeats itself.

I was unfortunate to be on a train packed with Derby fans following their victory over Hull. Most had their kids with them. One group openly talking about the things they’d do to a woman who was on the platform, in front of their daughters, who laughed along with it.

Sickened me to the core tbh.

 

[Bell4]

Apologies then Frank. Think this is a case of misunderstanding on my part. Genuinely thought you were taking the piss. If you weren't then, again, I apologise and hope you have a good evening pal .

 

[Gin&Juice]

Probably same United fans who call out anyone who doesn’t have a strong Sheffield accent.

 

[Flumps]

It's definitely better than it was 20 years ago but then you get these reminders that it's still not as easy to push the knuckle draggers into the modern tolerant world.

And you're never going to get rid of those while we're still allowed the freedom to think for ourselves.

You're quite right, acceptance for minority groups, races etc is waaaay more tolerant than it ever was and by a bloody huge margin yet we still focus so much on the small amount of people who can't and won't accept it.

We love to be outraged and theres clicks and fame in being a victim these days so we focus on the bloody comment section. We could leave those people behind, it would be incredibly easy to leave those behind who can't accept this sort of thing, we all move on as a society and just ignore them, let's be honest there's always going to be people who have a problem with literally anything, so fuck them and leave them to be unhappy.

Instead we make news articles, posts and promote this idea that various 'phobia' and 'ism' is rife and alive and well when as a nation we've done nothing but show we are happy to accept it. You'll get the odd cunt but that's life.

I very nearly did this yesterday, but I've kept it simply because I do use it, I follow some good people and get to see some decent stuff (especially in regards cricket) so I've kept it.

I don't tweet much but yesterday I spoke out against homophobia and got some absolutely nasty, horrible replies. Not only on there, but some people went to the effort to find me on another form of social media (I do use the same username and profile so it isn't hard) to send me direct messages calling me a woke wet lettuce and saying really personal shit about how my son will abandon me for not being a real man etc. I've just blocked and ignored them but fuck me, there are people who read someone having a go at homophobia and the far right - and there response is to find me on another platform to message me abuse. Like what the fuck is wrong with people?

What is also annoying is the amount of politically motivated right wing shit I am given on my timeline when any sane algorithm would only show me stuff about test match cricket, Sheffield United and Berlin Blade 's twitter feed. But I often have to actively search for what I want to see.

Just disappointed that, certainly in terms of homophobia, we appear to have gone backwards in the last 5 years as a society and that's really shit. It also underlines the very real need for amazing groups like Rainbow Blades. I hope if anything, this has led to increase support and an increase in their membership from decent fans.

Just had a look through the comments on the FB post.
It's sad to read all the homophobic comments obviously but I decided to take it one step further and click on the profiles of some of the ones responsible for those comments.
Bizarrely, I found people from Leeds, Liverpool, London, Derby, Preston, Coventry, Leamington Spa and even Thailand.
Most of the comments amongst Blades fans were ridiculing the signing because they'd not heard of him.
Yes, we do have our morons but we also have people who are far too quick to stick the boot in, jump to conclusions and don't do the research before diving in.
Social media for you. Toxic and brilliant in unequal measure unfortunately

We haven't gone backwards. Far from it.

What you're experiencing is over exposure to a worldwide network of usernames able to say stuff with no consequence. It’s all bollocks and the people on the Internet are out just to wind you up, if you'd have mentioned something about liking jam on top of your cream when you make a scone you'd have still got a load of people calling you a cunt, going through the same levels of effort just to piss you off.

It means literally nothing and the sooner the world realises people on the Internet are just out to troll the easier it is to scroll past it. Turn it off, delete it god knows what but I guarantee the world will be a better place just as soon as you get rid

 

[LurkerBlade]

I also think this is the problem with using "woke" as a slur.

It stops people standing up for what is right and having a voice.

Yes there is an issue with people being "offended" and being over the top; but when you use that stuff as a slur because they are standing up for what they feel is right you, stop people raising an awareness of REAL issues.

Im not sure anyone thinks being gay is woke.
I completely understand your point, and maybe it does cloud some idiots judgement but there's extreme left ideas just like there's extreme right ones. How I take it is 'Woke' is the far left pushing certain agendas. Normal people know that race, sexuality and equality is every day life.

I think we agree but my point is, when anyone stands up for something and says "you shouldn't say that" the slur of "woke" gets used way too easily for stuff that is a real issue.
Misogyny being one of those things. You say "normal" people know that but search "woke" on here and you will see.

Its how the left and right argue with each other. Rather than talking about what's actually meant the ones who sway too far of whichever way they lean politically would rather shout each other down with insults about being wokey snowflakes or nazis to actually stop and realise their views won't necessarily be as far away as they realise.

We've allowed the many little echo chambers to convince everyone that its either with us or your against us.

I take being called “woke” as a badge of honour. It is far, far better than being the opposite. Similarly with “do gooder”. And I judge people who sling those terms around as being somewhat less than the average person because I have the right to do so. In practice, it helps me to identify the people to ignore.

Maybe, but social media does influence people, especially those who are easily influenced and it's reach is global. While I think there is extremes of political views at either side of the discourse, it is crazily noticeable how much more far right leaning opinions are filtered on me on Twitter as opposed to other social networks.

Certainly in that regard, things have taken a backwards step in the last 5 years and, while I cannot comment as I have only worked in education for the last 3 years, people on education who have worked here longer have said the influence of social media and some more mysogynistic and homophobic philosophies have definitely found their way into schools. We have had an annual increase in homophobic , sexist and racist incidents over the last 3 years I've been at this school. We certainly see that the two things are linked. Social media give people like this a voice, that opinion comes with a story and a particular narrative certain political parties have used to create a groundswell of opinion and fury and that has gained traction and gotten them a foothold. So much so that people feel emboldened in being able to voice opinions that should label them as pariah's, not a part of the mainstream view.

I got called a fucking lefty do gooder yesterday and love it.

Imagine labelling someone 'doing good' as a negative thing, always makes me laugh.

How dare you be out there trying to do good things. You should be a nasty cunt like me etc. etc.
