I'm struggling to pick out which City players to choose for the job.. Nobody is to kick a ball until I blow this whistle, even if they do say the word football!

May be worth attending some sort of weekend retreat to help her with her concentration. Get a season ticket and go and support your local team, I’d say!

bristolmoose Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 I work in an almost all male office and no one likes sport there (IT Support, natch) so the best conversations I have about sport are with Mrs Moose (who is female). She used to play cricket at teenage county level and is ardent Rugby League fan (she's also from Yorkshire). The only condition to moving down here was that we got Sky Sports so she could watch RL on the telly as Headingley is a bit of a jaunt from here every other weekend. Suggesting females aren't interested in sport is utter rubbish. Give my regards to the 1950s, Anne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least 3 so far I think on here so far along with Godwin's Law being invoked early on in the debate. If anyone needs a reminder : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Holocaust Rip the piss out of the article we're discussing but leave it there, yeah? Fair comment, when I posted it I didn't really twig that it was Holocaust Memorial Day, not that it excuses it as it was a cheap gag and shouldn't have been made regardless. Apologies if it caused any offence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(It's not political correctness gone mad, it's the media spending the entire time looking for cheap stories to troll the British public.) Social media has killed off proper journalism, now it's all about the most ridiculous and trivial story guaranteed to generate outrage. This daft lady's opinion is obviously ridiculous, rather than ignore it completely, the media amplify for as many clicks as they can get. Yes but it was on Radio 4…this sort of nonsense gets traction on 'serious' news outlets like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyderInACan Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 3 hours ago, Harry said: I was actually thinking of this from a different angle Reg. I find it a rather foul coincidence that someone named Anne Franck, on Holocaust Day, would care to come out with comments suppressing freedom of speech. Obviously it’s not her fault she has a similar sounding name to Anne Frank, but I’m sure she is aware of this similarity. I’m minded to showing more ire toward this woman for suggesting such horseshit, on such a poignant day, than to a few ill-timed gags. Two sides of the same coin, eh. At least we did think about it. Her suggestion was horseshit as you say, but that doesn’t excuse such crass gags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure anyone mentioned sacking? More a case of perhaps being called in by a superior to advise you what is deemed acceptable to talk about in the workplace, and the latest thing that is not. Said in a way that makes it very clear you're expected to take this advice on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was also interviewed on the Nick Ferrari show on LBC. He poured scorn on her - such a refreshingly straightforward style of interviewing compared to the BBC. Particularly R5Live which I used to listen to, where every single interview seemed to start from a PC standpoint, with their chosen message rammed home throughout.

As already established on the thread earlier, there are plenty of female football (and cricket) fans in most work places who can talk a better game than many men.
