I wouldn’t question it unless I wasn’t white AND wanted to be on the board. it simply wouldn’t matter who was on a board to me unless it wasn’t performing well. If NSWE we’re clueless we wouldn’t care Naseef is brown just that he was doing a crap job. All I know is it takes serious hard work to get to the top, whether your brown pink, white, yellow, blue. I have heard many men of colour say, its got nothing to do with colour, if you have got it you've got it, if you havent it's that your not working hard enough making the sacrifices to get it. One great quote came from Denzel Washington, tells it how it is, I'll try find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to be on the starting line to enter the, er, race. And for some sections of our society the chance or opportunity to be on the starting line just isn’t there. Vastly, mostly it’s not intentional that they don’t have the opportunity “don’t let those people have school football”, it’s more a case that focus from people in power positions simply doesn’t think of giving “those people” the same chance as others have. They’re ignored, unseen, forgotten, they might as well not exist. And there are, unfortunately also deliberate acts of exclusion of “the wrong sorts” of people. Not everyone has the same chances to use their skills and drive and enthusiasm to compete. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 One of our own. Cheerio, dickhead https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-birmingham-64325295 Quote A man who racially abused footballer Raheem Sterling during a game at Villa Park has been given a three-year banning order. Timothy Hyslop shouted at the Chelsea and England player during the first half of a Premier League clash with Aston Villa on 16 October. The 54-year-old, from Staffordshire, was charged with a racially aggravated public order offence. He admitted the charge at Birmingham Magistrates' Court on Tuesday. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incorrect, he got the yellow for inciting the crowd, racisim or not, any other player does that to the crowd, its a yellow card. This is why it's not being overturned, its not some conspiracy about race being acceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
