    Angry End of the Wall of White?

    The ladies England football team played at Tranmere Rovers ground last night (just down the road from me). There is a sign within the ground saying "Super White Army", which relates to the team (Tranmere) who wear white shirts. Guess what? The FA made them cover the sign up! Political Correctness has gone bonkers! Should we no longer use the term "Wall of White" regarding the England RL side? Should we not sing "When the Saints go Marching In" as it may offend non Christians, where does it end?

    Probably not the place for this type of stuff but I agree with every word. This country is pathetic in terms of political correctness/softness. It's not just racial/religious stuff either; apparently we can't have girls and boys uniforms at schools anymore either, we have to be gender neutral nowadays. Soon there won't be such as thing as Christmas either as that'll offend too many people. The world has gone made mate.

    In theory if you take a "gender neutral" approach to sport it will limit women's opportunities because there would be no seperate competitions for males and females.

    World's going daft

    Good point. It does me make me laugh how these do-gooders are so selective in terms of when they want equality,etc. Like a woman who wants equal rights, equal pay and equal opportunities but won't put her hand her pocket for a meal or change the bins.

    Have the All Blacks read this? Their footie team is called the All Whites. Political Correctness was bonkers from the start, it came from the Soviets originally, then the Nazis, then the US. Says it all really.

    99% of people understand that PC has been taken to far,but it has also ensured that racism,ageism,bias against people with disabilities, will not be tolerated within society.As with everything in this country it has been hijacked by people with their own agenda,without getting political we all know which political party thrives on it.
