Obmutescent over outrageous obsequious obfuscation...


Watched some footy last night; it was my last time for a while at least. I was, to say the least, stunned. I should have realised the other day, seeing the Liverfluke players taking a knee and other dim-witted overpaid fuckwits too: English Premier League players' names on the back of their shirts won't appear; the political divisive and sinister 'Black Lives Matter' will appear for 12 matches of the recently (yesterday) restarted season. After that, a 'Black Lives Matter' badge will be displayed for the rest of the season alongside another badge thanking NHS staff. All 20 EPL clubs are committed to "a global society of inclusion, respect, and equal opportunities for all, regardless of their colour or creed". Great, laudable, marvellous...but what does that have to do with BLM? Premier League kneels to the BLM tyrants, writes Gary Oliver on Conservative Woman. he is not wrong.
"Nonetheless, players who kneel in solidarity with teammates cannot all be comfortable endorsing the malevolent manifesto of Black Lives Matter. Certainly many football supporters will be dismayed by their club’s shirts being used to promote a group which denigrates British history and whose benign name belies its menacing intent."
Laws of the Game and Football Rules [English Football Association] IFAB Laws of the Game 2019-20, 20/21 [International Football Association Board] Law 4: The Players' Equipment, Section 5:
Slogans, statements, images and advertising: Interpreting the Law When interpreting whether a slogan, statement or image is permissible... 
... 'political' is less clear but slogans, statements or images related to the following are not permitted: any person(s), living or dead (unless part of the official competition name) any local, regional, national or international political party/organisation/group, etc. any local, regional or national government or any of its departments, offices or functions any organisation which is discriminatory any organisation whose aims/actions are likely to offend a notable number of people any specific political act/even

When commemorating a significant national or international event, the sensibilities of the opposing team (including its supporters) and the general public should be carefully considered.

Competition rules may contain further restrictions/limitations, particularly in relation to the size, number and position of permitted slogans, statements and images. It is recommended that disputes relating to slogans, statements or images be resolved prior to a match/competition taking place."
My emphasis. They can change the laws but they are currently ignoring them and in a way that is grossly and overtly political and divisive.  

BLM may have had good intentions when it began but that beginning was based on lies and race-baiters: Obama's "If I had a son, he would look like Trayvon". Just one example: "While it would be naïve to suggest that there is no racism in the US criminal justice system, victim reports don’t support the idea that this is because of mass discrimination" [LINK]. BLM also believe in the disruption of "the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure". FFS, when most commentators of all colours and creeds agree that the lack of a father figure is a major issue on 'wayward' youth.

Whatever the admirable wishes of the founders and many supporters, BLM is tainted and many demonstrations show clear, organised anarchic disruptors advancing a marxist-anarchist agenda. For this alone the English Premier League and FA and players etc are fools: they fought and won to be able to wear the poppy but on this BLM celebration they are well behind the curve and it will lead to MORE trouble, not less. Why not just strengthen and continue the 'Kick it out', 'No Room for Racism' campaigns? Far better than taking 'a political turn', especially after the recent riots and statue-tumbling law-breaking, criminal damage.
