To be fair, the thread is about a Guardian article and the football bit of that has already been covered!

Regarding the DEI stuff, I remember reading an article somewhere recently which mentioned a study from the US. Disadvantaged kids accepted into medical courses with lower grades tend to get better degrees than the kids from wealthy backgrounds who are coached to pass the admission exams. Not sure where I came across that (reading a random thread on twitter cam bring up all sorts of links), but I'll see if I can find it. That's an example why positive discrimination can have benefits, other than being 'fair'. I've just had a quick scan through the wiki page mentioned and it would be interesting to see who funded many of these groups railing against DEI stuff. I'll see if I get a chance to look into this stuff a bit more later in the weekend. Got a lot on.

If Rob wants to move the thread it really isn't an issue.

Read the Wikipedia entry on it.


Read it. Still no evidence that it’s been used to “shoehorn people into roles they shouldn’t be in”

What am I missing?

Some people conflate the concepts of ‘equality of opportunity’ and ‘equality of outcome’. And they get really cross without actually understanding the matter.

I’m guessing any football to discuss ???  


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

But, but, the excitement of the Premier League where the richest club is going to win again...

Nah, you're right.
