Homophobes in sport

[jack123]

I'm off out now, but I will be interested to know the answer to that question, by anyone.. how can someone be called a homophobic bigot for not performing a certain action?

They didn’t ‘not perform an action’. They very deliberately did perform an action. The inactive response would have been to put on a shirt that everyone else was wearing and they were given by their club. They actively refused to do so and removed themselves from their job. They went on strike in effect.

The reason they are so obviously bigots is because are only pretending to care about the religious justification. They don’t mean it. Because if they did mean it their adherence to religious teaching would be consistently applied. And it’s not. They do not consistently apply the teachings of their church. In fact, they actively go against the teachings of their church for many things. Playing on a Sunday, promoting betting, promoting financial services companies that charge interest etc etc etc. And that’s just stuff directly related to this discussion.
The ONLY thing they are using their religion to hide behind appears to be their opposition to homosexuality. And, again, they are not being told to be homosexual. They are being asked to promote tolerance of those who are. Which their religion tells them to do.

They are bigots. And they are dickheads. And those who support them are also dickheads. As they refuse to acknowledge the ridiculously inconsistent application of the ‘religious’ basis for their actions. Either because they are ill informed, or because they are also bigots. Either way, dickhead is appropriate as a description.

I disagree, they did not perform an action. Absolutely ridiculous to be called bigots, and dickheads for not doing something.

WTF!

Get help

He gave people 4 minutes to reply to his post, then buggered off before anyone had the chance because he knows his post would get destroyed easily, as Lisa has since done.

I'm sure he'll be back later once more intelligent bigoted people have provided him with a counter-argument and he's had a few jars...

Get destroyed. :lol: :lol: :lol:

. Brilliant , thanks that cheered me up on such a grey day.

In fairness, a slightly backward village idiot would be able to destroy most of his posts :lol:

Well, you completely failed to answer Lisa's post, probably because you didn't understand it, so I'll try and make it easier for you:

If they won't wear the shirt because it goes against their religion, how can they also play games on a Sunday and wear shirts with a betting company sponsor, which are both things that their religion does frown on?

With respect, who are you, or anyone on this board, to dictate to somebody, many miles away, what they should do. It's absolute poppycock for them to be called homophobes, bigots, dickheads for not performing an action.

So homophobia should only be called out if its on your own doorstep then?
Give your wee little head a wobble ffs :lol:

Your attempts to avoid answering the question are adorable, you need to continue learning from the better WUMs on the internet though, you've got some way to go.

Ridiculous, bonkers, they have done nothing wrong, and they should not be called that. How can I explain, rewind 20 year, I get a knock at the door, 'do you want to come down jingles for a pint'? Ahem no thanks, HOMOPHOBE!!, that's where your mentality is at, I'm sorry..

Yes, they did. They withdrew their labour. Look how much attention has been given to the rail strikes. And yet those workers are simply ‘not doing something’ as well.

The passive position would have been to play. Same as the passive position is for the rail workers to go to work.

To be honest, you probably know this, as it’s blindingly obvious, but it’s undoubtedly some sort of moronic social media justification from bigots for it that is now being seized upon as the discussion around their ‘religious’ beliefs is so easy to dismantle.

I’d have a little more respect for you in some ways if you just held your hands up and said you think being gay is wrong and you don’t think gay people should have equal rights. As at least that way you’d be a bigot with some degree of honesty rather than a bigot who’s also a coward.

You may, however, wish to reflect on why you are always so anti everyone different than yourself when their lives have literally no impact on your own. It’s a level of insecurity that must make life a misery for you.

You can try and defend the English all you like but it's their fault.

This has nothing to do with being gay, it's to do with people being called bigots, and dickheads for not doing something.

One minute the English and their quislings are against it then the next minute they are for it and then they have the cheek to criticise people from the South Pacific and from Africa .
