Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread


You are aware I've studied the holocaust at length? It's a subject dear to my heart. I know the reasons for it and the suffering involved. I just take umbrage with anyone who gets on their high horse when morally judging another as its not our place to make judgement. You're entitled to be offended but you don't need to go on your soapbox about it
I wouldn’t have said another word on the topic apart from the fact you said “lighten up” and followed it up with a free speech argument which is always the last refuge of scoundrel. What do you think about the Chelsea fans when they make hissing sounds to the Spurs fans? Just bantz?
 

Not with a £15m valuation gap currently. We best not be had off by those lot. Would happily take something in the low 20s. They have to accept that his experience and injuries are a massive risk to the buyer

i just meant i feel like it actually has some weight behind the link. we’ll make a bid
 
No, it’s completely acceptable to call out someone who is clearly a moron. The fact you can’t see the difference between insulting someone’s lack of basic intelligence with making a joke about the death of 6 million Jews is pretty damning for you. But I could have predicted the way this would go when you said lighten up.

Football fans (minority wise) will always say derogatory things. It's not worth getting upset over otherwise you shouldn't follow the game as it'll never change

It actually has changed. Lots of things that used to be tolerated at football matches like racism and homophobia are no longer accepted. People don't say lighten up. Fans call each other out and clubs take a zero tolerance attitude. You turn a blind eye if you want to but I will continue to call people out if they make unacceptable comments. Its the only way some people learn. It's not about getting upset. It's about setting boundaries.
 
Have to disagree there mate. If we were all refused to do stuff in fear of offending someone we'd never get anywhere as a society.

A joke is a joke if theres no malice why should you be offended by it?
Jokes about the holocaust are always offensive. It's pretty simple. Some other areas are grey. Just because someone's say you can't say one thing it doesn't mean you can't say anything. That a ridiculous overreaction.

Fair enough. I wish you well with that I really do. Just stay humble with it my friend and realise you're not the authority on judgement. God bless
