Mings

Clearly they think some things are more important. Each to their own.

I understand why Mings said what he said about restarting football, and I understand why he joined this protest.

What he needs to do is work out himself why and how they are justifiable when put together like LIW has done here.

The simple answer is ... it's about choice.

The first post is about not being consulted, nothing more. The second is about making a personal decision.

If Mings had made an issue in the first that there was a safety issue, then it would be much more difficult to justify.

But you can then justify it because the GF anti-racism protest is something worth dying for, it is about your principles.

I have ZERO issue with Mings on any of this. Connecting these two aspects and claiming Mings is being hypocritical is actually a non-sequitur - through logic, you cannot get to the conclusion of hypocrisy by connecting these two specific stories

He's complaining that footballers weren't consulted on resumption of their work.

I suppose nurses and doctors were consulted?
Care home workers?
Shop assistants?
Delivery people?

Overpaid prima donnas like him need a reality check.

Any player that wasn't consulted should shoot of at their clubs, the Leagues talk to their clubs and not them!..

If the messages aren't passed on then its the fault of the clubs!..

Players should just shut their puppy pissing and get back to work like most other workers want to!..

yup

Amusing that the police have made no effort to disperse crowds of thousands of protesters today but want football matches moved to neutral grounds in case a few fans turn up.

There are a good number of "socially distanced" protests going on around the country. I've no problem at all with those.

On the other hand, aerial photos I've seen from London and Manchester clearly show thousands (or tens of thousands in the case of London) shoulder-to-shoulder happily spreading the virus around fellow protesters.

If there was any doubt in any of the statements I've made, my argument wasn't "anti-demonstrations" it was "anti-covidiots".

We can all more than likely look forward to a second spike of indeterminate size in those cities and a subsequent reversal back into lock-down again as anything that affects London tends to guide national policy.

LONDON

What an absolute SHEET HOLE

The cause there protesting for i back completely.

However some of them are absolute skumbags.

What happened to George Floyd was disgusting and things need to change.

Lets get it right though. The guy was a complete skumbag. Some people trying to portray him as a saint.

What happened was wrong and justice needs to be done and i am sure it will.
