    Gary Lineker dared to mock the haka and received the full force of a John Campbell cuckdown in response

    https://mobile.twitter.com/JohnJCampbell/status/1179526207928328193

    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.

    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 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.

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

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

          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.

            @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.

              @MajorRage yeah I think I'm agreeing...he didn't even say he dislikes it, just that he found it funny.

                Speaking of condescension, I don't need any help, thanks.

                At any rate I didn't say I agreed with Campbell or that I don't think his is an overreaction, but it's his reaction and as I said previously he's allowed to react to Linikers comments and express how he feels about them. I'm unsure why you're seeing a difference aside from the fact you appear to dislike Campbells comments.

                I know some people who would actually be genuinely offended by Linekers comments despite the fact that you and I don't have an issue with them. I don't think we have the right to regulate how they react to it.

                The funniest thing about it all is the tweet that @Bones posted - who would have thought Campbell and Piers Morgan would have been on the same side of this?

                  Quoted the part which is why I said what I did about the difference.

                  I'm not regulating anything btw - people are welcome to say / think what they want. I'm allowed to think it's off the scale ridiculous that one person who wants to laugh at the haka should be subjected to Campbell's diatribe of virtual signalling, offended on your behalf, Trudeau style bullshit. Especially the "English Whiteness" part. I then think it's even worse that this massively over the top howling causes Lineker to delete the tweet and backtrack.

                  WRT to Piers Morgan - he'll find any reason to have a pop at Lineker. They have some seriously barnies over twitter. In life, I think they are actually pretty good mates.

                    Campbell , Morgan and Woodward all agree , oddly enough three of the people on this planet I’d like to punch most in the face have another thing in common .

                    Has anyone asked Colin Craig his opinion just to round out this collection of cnuts?

                          @Machpants You really would have to be pissed to do that.

                                    I'll post the obvious.

                                    "Wherever they go now, they (The All Blacks) bring their history, their aura and their tackle bags. Through the last two weeks they have become 'the second team' for Japan's rugby followers. At the two All Blacks games, hundreds of Japan fans turn up in black replica shirts rooting for the favourites. Every team in the tournament accepts that for them to win, the All Blacks must be beaten," The Times said.

                                      They have been for quite a while in my experience. Plenty of Japanese crew I worked with would say "Awe Bracks" and smile as soon as they found out I was a Kiwi. Perhaps they meant "Aura Bracks".

                                      They certainly knew a fair bit about the ABs players, history, etc as well.

                                          @canefan Winning does make us easy to support.

                                          Saw loads of AB jerseys around Asia. Mostly Hong Kong, China and surprisingly Taiwan. Probably all cheapo copies but supporters nonetheless.
