Sounds feasible. It's the plot of a very influential far right book called 'the camp of the saints', which is kind of a key text for fascists (like '1984' for liberals - they fit a lot of stories into that framework) 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 People losing their minds at Chunkz becoming the host of a Sky show called Soccer Social, thinking he's replacing Le Tissier and co. Someone needs to give them a pat on the heads and tell them that it's not Soccer Saturday, and those guys have already been replaced with middle aged white guys.

Some people really want to make some sort of reverse racism point when there isn't one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they just don't want to see black people on TV to be honest. But it is funny seeing the same people who likely complain about everything being racism and people being snowflakes scrambling to play victim.

Hardly surprising they're trying stuff like this to get a younger generation interested as most of the football chat shows have been shite for ages. Soccer AM got boring over a decade ago for me and nothing has filled the gap. It's just older guys getting annoyed at people who do things they don't understand getting jobs. I've seen it on various reality shows where they have Youtubers that have millions of followers. I don't know what most of them do either, but it doesn't mean they aren't objectively famous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Chunkz is about a million times more entertaining than anyone they ever had on Sky. It's a good move to try to reinvigorate the channel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted September 11, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted September 11, 2020 Yep. People just can’t accept that YouTuber is a thing now. I guarantee far more people watch Chunkz’ output than Matt Le Tissier or Alan McInally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw some fat tub of lard jogging round the pitch during that Soccer Aid match, with Chunkz wrote on his shirt. I'll take a punt at it being the same fella.

Davkaus Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 I've never seen any of his content, but I've seen a photo of him, and it's been enough to put him in the "irritating bellend" category, so he'll fit right in on Sky Sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea who Chunkz is but I can guarantee a whole generation of people wouldn’t like him Regardless of what colour he is. They're just completely resistant to the idea that football shouldn't be invariably presented by white middle-aged, typically ex-footballers at the very least as proven by their knee-jerk reaction to this appointment for a completely different show (from what they think it is) that they probably never have and never will watch. Their opposition to this clearly isn't based on any logic or reasoning, in fact all the data points to the fact that Chunkz would be a success at least compared to some of the people who they're championing, who literally just got sacked because their ratings were tanking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
