Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

A national newspaper thought this was worth reporting.

:mourfacepalm:
I think it absolutely is.

AFTV is the 2nd largest Sports Channel on YouTube
Woolwich Fan TV (AFTV) Football1.1M VSubs£357,038.50 per month

Their monthly reach is greater than The Sun, The Mail, Mirror, Express Newspaers (News + Sport) combined!! Their monthly reach is double than ALL the broadsheets combined!

Because of this reach, they are now regularly on mainstream/traditional media National TV & Radio.

The relevance to this is the "influence" it has, ignore it at one's peril. On the contrary, it should be fought against and driven back into the sea. But that can only be done if it's taken seriously, the influence that is, not the content.
 
I think people are just pissed off with cancel culture mate, I know I am.

Football is this mans life, i've seen a lot of his rants in the past and I think he's a decent bloke who isn't a racist in the slightest.

Now kicked off of AFTV for a stupid throw away comment in the heat of the moment that any one of us could easily make and probably have made in the past.

I just don't like the Orwellian nature of where we are headed with this cancel culture, its dangerous.

People make mistakes.

I'm just not comfortable with this whether he is a gooner or not.
I’ve never referred to oriental people other than by name or nationality, never referred to black people in any of those common derogatory names neither Asian people.
Not playing the holier than thou card it’s just not something I’d do or doesn’t come into my thinking
Mind you I get pissed off when my stepson refers to Jonathan Creek as Jonathon Greek, I insist that he used the correct name The Gooner Supporting Cunt.

This does show society is much more casual about racism against asian people than black people. Imagine he used a slur against a black player coming off, would be a massive story.

Confirmation that the world has gone mad.

Speak for yourself fella..... Certainly not something I'm likely to find myself doing.... Nor do I often (virtually never!) find myself party to such comments.

The Mainstream media are a large part of the problem, they've all come out of Universities thinking they are the righteous ones, and the rest of us are crusty old racists that need to be re-educated or go extinct.
Jacked up on Marxism and Social Justice the lot of them.


It's like returning to the days of the witchfinder general, Scary times.
You don't get pressed or dunked in the village pond to ascertain your guilt though, you just get cancelled from society by a screeching mob.

With all due respect; this is conspiratorial waffle....

I've just gone through Uni and take nothing political (sociologically or otherwise) away from the experience that I didn't bring with me. There's no indoctrination going on. Tutors generally veer away from talking off topic and I'll be fucked if I had time to study a side order of Marxism.

I think you drunk the coolaid mate, And with respect if you've just come out of university the chances are you don't know your arse from your elbow as you haven't lived yet.

Oy, being a masters student in journalism from an UK university, I think you’re a little bit harsh. The newspapers sell on popular opinions, and Claude trending on Twitter makes the topoc valid on reporting.
