Ex-Spurs Player Harry Kane

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Players have a lot of power, none more so than Harry. Would love to see him have the courage when asked to speak out against this and say he'd never represent Spurs in this utter abomination. Would hold immense weight and kill this fucking thing.

I've been sitting here grinding my teeth while reading through the long comments sections of both a Guardian and DM article about Kane/Spurs in which the majority consensus seemed to be that Kane isn't good enough for RM/Barca/some other elite teams, isn't world class, doesn't deserve to be in the running for PL POTS this year, and just generally isn't that good. This is what I'm talking about when I say that Spurs fans tend to overestimate how his legacy will be looked upon if he maintains this status quo. It turns out people don't really care about a player's extenuating circumstances, like having to play with a significantly weaker team. You're expected to put up the same weekly highlight reel as any other player, regardless of who you're playing for or against.

Whilst I do agree that fans overestimate the esteem their best players are held in by others, I think once he retires with all the goal records everyone will switch to begrudgingly praising what a talent he was, whilst opining that he totally wasted it, just as everyone did with Shearer.

And what about those of us who don't fucking give a shit what those people think, and aren't interested in trolling competitive message boards and journal comments for opposing fans opinions about Kane?

Seriously, what are you even doing?

Who cares? I watch Kane every week and I know exactly what he brings.

Problems with this idea:

1. They don't have exclusive control of their social media accounts. They would either have to use a separate account or risk losing access to their main account altogether.
2. Harry has stated he wants to kick in the NFL when he retires (we know he can score from his own half, so that's realistic aim) and he's not going to shit on the US interests if it means giving up on that.
3. He's an employee of the club and it's going to take a while to consider the ramifications of breaking ranks.
4. If, like everyone else, he's only just found out about this, he's probably making sure of things before committing to a course of action.

Reading match reports on news sites isn't exactly opposing fan territory IMO. But since I'm a club neutral, I'm obviously interested in what people are saying across the league anyway. It's also why I care more than Spurs supporters do about Kane's legacy among the wider set of all football fans.

Can't you just let me be angry at some dumb bullshit??
