A Brick Wall

Stoke winger James McClean shares death threats against him and his family on Instagram https://t.co/fLEr3O0t1k

The abuse James McClean has been getting for years now is a disgrace. I doubt him being called names etc gets to him personally but it’s the fact the media just refuse to highlight it that does. Racism is racism at the end of the day.

I really admire him for having the guts to stand by his beliefs and refuse to wear a poppy

Is that why he’s getting loads of abuse Bertie?

I don’t follow football.

    Ah cool. Ta
    
    Football is a world unknown to me. I think it was coz I was always last picked for sports. (Sniff..sniff)
    
    It also have to do with the fact that I was a tall gangly yoke who didn’t gain proper control of his legs until he was in his mid teens ;-)

Me too Bertie.
The whole point of the Poppy is to remember those who died to give people like McClean the right not to wear it.
Or Muslim players the right not to wearing alcohol branding on their shirts.
Or any player the right not to take the knee without being called racist.

  “… the right not to take the knee without being called racist…”
  
  Or even, god forbid, a Millwall supporter.

  How did millions of young men dying horribly in trenches during World War One give anyone rights? Didn’t they all die in the names of toxic nationalism, competitive imperialsim, political brinksmanship and a massive arms race? It certainly wasn’t for anyone;s freedom to do anything pther than die horribly in trenches.
