Great attitude to take into a test, honoured to be smashed by the ABs!

A bit of a weird one isn't it, but if I could play tennis with Federer I would. Be lucky to win a point, but I'd still want to do it.

aaand we are all dumber, thanks to that.

Guy makes a joke, not a good joke, but a joke, about something that doesn't affect him. hur hur nice one Gary. It's not even a bad joke, i bet there are a lot of people who think it's a bit funny while facing it.

And BANG! The twitter mob is mobilised. And along predictable lines. Defense first from some. Claims of "white supremacy" and colonialism.

Gary apologies and deletes. Once again the mob was right.

And John fucking Campbell is given a platform to try and appear the tolerant one. FMD

No one has to like Walkers Crisps. No one has to like the haka. Over-reaction to Linekar's tweet (a harmless attempt at humour) is ridiculous.

The funny part is him agreeing with Piers Morgan over Linekers comment.

But English whiteness as normative whatever that’s supposed to mean .

John Campbell can fuck right off with that diatribe of shit.

Pom doesn’t like the haka? So what???

Campbell is so far off the mark here. Trying to be the next Trudeau. Makes me physically sick.

Seems I was wrong. Apparently I can dislike Campbell more.

[MajorPom]

Since the advance of Twitter, it's been pretty to hard to defend my "Kiwi's aren't as sensitive about the haka as is portrayed in media" stance ...

I'm actually leaning towards binning it these days myself.

At the risk of getting into the politics even while ignoring the politics forum and copping it from most posters on this thread. I find some of the thread outrage to be a bit hypocritical.

If we're happy for Lineker to say what he wants then shouldn't we be happy for anyone who has issue with what he says to say what they want? Even if you personally don't like what they're saying and it makes you physically sick?

I like it when Campbell rears his head occasionally in an sjw thrashwank , it stops my loathing of him diminishing.

I would certainly rather this wasn't a political discussion and lets be clear - it wasn't, until Campbell got involved.

Lineker doesn't like the haka. Says facing it would likely make him laugh (or something like that).

First one is his opinon - which last I knew, people were entitled to. Second one, he says can't see why not laugh. Well, it's a challenge right .. so surely people are entitled to view that challenge and respond accordingly.

Campbell's response.

Contempt. Condescension, Ignorance, English Whiteness, Comedic, Inferior, Odd.

Seriously Nepia if you can't see the difference, I can't help you.

[Bones]

@MajorRage I don't think he said he doesn't like it did he?

[MajorPom]

@Bones Can't remember the exact words. I think it was along those lines - he's deleted it now.

It's right there in a screenshot under Campbell's tweet....

[antipodean]

Campbell could have been funnier by saying those that sack up and play the game don't tend to laugh, but keep rolling around like a sniper shot you when someone bumps into you.

[MajorPom]

@Bones Wow ok ... I had it wrong. I guess in all the chat about it, I had souped it up even in my head!

Points still stand.
