Rainbow Laces-Tom Allen

Sun Dec 13, 2020 4:42 pm

I dont like football running these politically motivated campaigns and I am not a natural supporter of the gay lobby- honestly- but I thought Sky's use of Tom Allen camping it up at the Charlton game was a disgrace. If that was supposed to help the cause god help them. It seemed to confirm every prejudice there is about gay community. If i was gay i would be fuming. What were Sky thinking? Or was it just a coincidence it came on the rainbow laces day. Or did i miss something earlier?

It was cringeworthy mate.. nothing to do with being gay, he just talked crap. Same as the matches tho, one commentator is enough.

I agree :thumbup:

The Sky people got it massively wrong on that one and it must have been equally as cringeworthy for those who believe in that cause; it was just crass and embarrassing full stop :oops:

Sums up Sky. They love a good cause.
