I agree with Cyn, i don't consider Yanks to be a race, however they are a stain on the Earth that need to be cleansed but thats for another discussion...

We all know you are a straight talker Cyn but try to refrain from personally insulting people (I am a hypocritical c*** i know, but i am a mod now)

Plenty of ways to get your point across mate

[CynicalGooner]

lol, righteo

[Inchpräctice]

Seems I hit a nerve.

You will hit a nerve if you finish a comment by saying 'anyone with two brain cells can see that'.
It also doesn't help if you roll out the racist remarks.
By saying 'seems I hit a nerve' you almost make it sound like an accident!


Just make your point and leave it at that.

How the f**k was that racist? Do people even know what racist means anymore?

MY GOD

Are you really saying that you don't understand how this comment is racist:

Yet you clearly do not understand football. Stick to home runs & touch downs maybe?

I would suggest that it's you that isn't sure what racism means.

Not even remotely racist. Unless you consider americans to be a race, which they are not. So no, it's you misunderstanding and misusing the term.

Yes of course Americans are a race, why not?
Anyway whether you agree with me on that is not the point, if you attack someone because of the country they come from then it's stereotyping and prejudice which is the same insult by a different name.
All three things are not accepted on this forum so you can call it whatever you like, it isn't tolerated.

By the way it wasn't even a slight on all americans, just him. We have a couple very knowledgeable ones on here

That means that your comment makes even less sense then.

No I was surprised the OTHER comment hit a nerve, the brain cells one was obvious bait and I'm not even defending it but I did mean what I said.

I'm a straight talker and consider it a failure of plitical correctness if you can't call a spade a spade and tell someone they are talking rubbish

Of course you can tell someone they're talking rubbish, you know you can, but you can't get personal and you know that as well.
You've been here long enough to know that.
Make your point without resorting to insults. That's all.

Fine, point made, I'm not going to argue with you. You're the mod

But americans still aint a race

[GunnGunn]

Unless fat people are a race nowadays?

Ok i'll stop.



I think we need to chill off, certainly not the worse thing said on here, i used to say worse on a daily basis, people get over it, just a case of crossed wires and differing opinions, nothing groundbreaking to a forum.

Move along.

So you are then?



What about 'native Americans'?
How do you know golfinguy's real name isn't Big Chief Sitting Bull?

Are you saying the first thing his parents saw when they brought him out the wigwam was tiger woods?

I could care less about the Americans comment - to be honest it makes you look more foolish than me and I was fine leaving it at that. Racist is probably not quite right, xenophobic or bigoted is more like it I suppose.

But to say I don't have two brain cells and that I'm not knowledgeable on the game - that is where you lost it. My country of origin aside, I have a very strong grasp of the game - I've played, coached, and refereed it all my life - no different from most here. Even have a few English folks agreeing with me - guess you need to check their MRIs as well

And..... oh f**k it. This has been blown up enough already.

[SE13]

I think we'll agree to disagree here, and move on.

And before it escalates into WWIII, I'll impose the first ever lockage in this area.
