Wrexham striker Paul Mullin stirs up controversy

Think mullin should stick to footy
We beat them
Last year remember

Quoted from lew chaterleys lover

He is obviously entitled to his view, but as Wrexham FC pointed out he is not entitled to have it on his workwear.

Fair enough. Can’t argue. But he’s not ‘demonising’ anyone.

Quoted from ska face

Surely not the “keep politics out of football” debate merely weeks before everyone has to have a poppy on their shirt?

I’m pretty sure if I worked in a bank or supermarket and had F**C the Tory’s on my uniform I would soon be out of a job

What a strange irrelevant thing to say , I presume neither you or Mr Mullin work in either establishment.  From what I have read someone who makes  designs for boots has customised s pair for him apparently based  on a chant that is de rigueur at the moment among Wrexham fans, they posted a pic on social media and waited for the inevitable publicity, perhaps with the judgement that around 75% of the voting population agree with the sentiment at the moment. He is free to have his own opinion and in this country is still free to express it whatever the snowflakes who complain about cancel culture and then want to cancel freedom of expression when they don't like what is being said think.
Those who are frightened of discussion about politics or in any field are frightened of democracy.  Perhaps politics should only be discussed through the pages of the daily mail or Guardian?

I think if you're going to have players do things as a club like wear rainbow laces, take the knee, and poppies on shirts to name a couple (not saying theirs anything wrong or right about any of these just picked a few out) you can't really moan if a player wearing his boots expressing a political view of their own. It's just a case of the club making a statement like they have separated their views from those of the player.

An option going forward is doing something similar to what the NFL does for instance. In the NFL they don't allow any sort of freedom for things like rainbow laces, taking the knee, etc instead they have a based week/month wear they all celebrate as franchises then it stops. However, they do have 1 week where every player wears custom boots to celebrate what they want, charity, political views, family, whatever they want. Maybe this is something the FA could look at as it seems obvious its the way the game will go.

And?

Not the point is it.

Quoted from pontoonlew

I’d never personally vote Tory and I think the Tory party themselves have proven why that is in bucket loads.

However, as a supposedly democratic nation, it doesn’t sit well with me how people who also don’t vote Tory choose to demonise those that do. How somebody else votes is completely up to them and to abuse somebody for doing so makes you worse than them IMO.

I’d go so far as to say people doing that are what pushed people towards voting for them in the first place.

So people vote Tory because of people point out the damage that the Tories and the people who mindlessly vote them in after years of failure have caused.   I think that is a very strange mind set. They have trashed the economy and looked after their own as they always do,  before the last election a working class bloke in Hartlepool pointed out without irony the increase in food banks as a massive Tory success,  come the next election they will demonize the opposition with their mates in the media and billionaire backers and the serfs will tug the forelock and fall in line again.
They are so poor they couldn't even find two decent candidates to stand for PM. If it was true that people vote for the demonized Corbyn would be PM  now,  he frightened those with power and got the full treatment

So when I player wears  his Up The BNP boots or F**c a BLM Tee shirt you wouldn’t have any complaints ?

Players have the right to wear what they like outside of football and post comments as they please on social media , I believe politics should be kept off the pitch

He’s right fuckk the tories … this present shambles of Tory in house fighting as crashed the economy copulated the nhs and delivered brexit based on BS only 5 years ago our economy was 90% of germanys now it’s 70% and dwindling. We’ve become a laughing stock on the global stage it truly is a disgrace we’re nothing short of a banana republic just banging leaders in Willy nilly
