  1. I mean who doesn’t love this constant obsession with identity politics in sports and media? It’s not like being lectured by pampered celebrity millionaires about how bad their lives are and it’s our fault is tiresome or patronising…

  2. Arsenal_For_Life Baby, I really like this kid, however I believed nobody knew his brother was a rainbow boy, bringing this out to the world could means you better increase your performance percentage on the pitch or you could regret this!!! We do not need our internal player attaching the word Gay to our team. Bringing this out could be a big big mistake. Arsenal_For_Life Baby.This might be why we are looking to sign a new goalkeeper. Your focus needs to be on the pitch

  3. To those who don't like/criticize Ramsdale's decision to speak out against homophobia, let me ask you a few questions:
    1) Is drunk driving wrong?
    2) Is domestic violence wrong?
    3) Is human trafficking wrong?
    4) Is slavery wrong
    5) Is discrimination against someone based on their gender, race, and sexual orientation wrong?
    6) Is it a just thing to speak out against something that is wrong i.e.1-5?

    If you answer yes to #1-5, tell me why you would answer no to #6 just for speaking against discrimination?

  4. Is Jesus Christ homophobic? Is apostle Paul and every other apostles homophobic?

    No wonder why Arsenal can't lift that Premier League trophy, its GK is supporting insanity.

    Repent brothers and sisters, repent Heaven and Hell are real.

  5. Enough is enough Sky. Stop tarring every football fan with the same brush. We do not need to be "educated" about homophobia, racism, or any other of your woke subjects. Yes, there are a few idiots out there, but the 99.9% of the public who go to football matches do not shout abuse or cause any problems. The answer is simple; when someone is caught shouting abuse, ban them for life and re-educate them. I'm no longer a Sky Sports subscriber and the way Sky are carrying on, they are going to lose a hell of a lot more.
