From a man named Jordan Levick. Incredible must read:
I am not a Swiftie, but I am a human being, a Dad AND, a Monstrous Football fan.
I am extremely disappointed in so many of you who think that "not being a fan" of someone means you're entitled to shit all over them.
I want to remind you of something.
Your children are watching you complain about Taylor Swift sitting at a football game, being happy, and cheering for a man she loves in what appears to be a very loving, respectful relationship.
Your children are watching you judge a woman for literally just EXISTING and taking up space happily.
And you know what? Ms. Swift has won 324 awards. How many do you have?
She brought $5 BILLION dollars in consumer spending and boosted the U. S. economy so significantly, that leaders from other countries actually beg for her to play there?
Did you know that there are over 20 college courses about her skills as an artist, lyricist, and musician - including at places like Harvard, Stanford & UC Berkeley?
Did you know that Taylor Swift quietly donates mass amounts of money to local food banks in every city she performs in?
AND DID YOU KNOW …
That Taylor Swift was sexually assaulted by a radio DJ, and she got him fired? When he sued HER for over $3 million for defamation, she counter sued for a symbolic $1 in a court case that took 2 YEARS for her to win. And, she did that just to show women that fighting for what's right has no price tag and to never be silent in the face of oppression.
WELL IF YOU DON’T CARE BY NOW, YOU SHOULD.
Because your daughters, nieces, and your nephews are watching you run your mouth. And they are seeing the world hate a woman who does so much good, simply because she exists in their line of sight.
DO BETTER PEOPLE.
Teach your boys to respect women. Teach your girls that as women, they are ALLOWED to take up space.
Fix it.
Become aware of your words. Because we all have the ability and the obligation to fight for the future of our children with simple moments. And we need to consciously choose to be better for them.
I have been verbally abused twice on the way to football matches so far this season. On both occasions I was minding my own business, head down, walking to the ground. I was called 'a fucking queer cunt' by one man and another told me that 'our club doesn't want disgusting gay fans'. If you're a player and that offends you less than wearing a rainbow-coloured armband for a couple of matches, then maybe you're part of the problem.
Disappointing behavior from the Man Utd squad overall. The normalised homophobia on this app just shows why these campaigns are done.
Can understand if Mazraoui is uncomfortable, given that he’s from Morocco, where it’s illegal. He’d likely face backlash from his country, peers, and family, which I think people need to remember. So don’t think you should be forcing Mazraoui to do it, but don’t think Man Utd players should have let that stop them from doing it.
Just worrying how these incidents will impact current players at the club struggling with their sexuality.
Every single @premierleague club has made a post about #RainbowLaces this weekend. 🏳️🌈⚽️
Every single post has 90% abuse. ❌
Not all from blank profiles either may I add.
We need to be helping our players in the top flight who are struggling with their sexuality.
#enough
might be a ‘woke’ opinion but if you aren’t gonna wear the armband you don’t deserve to be captain. either you support everyone or you’re not captain, imagine if ipswich have a gay player who isn’t out or ipswich’s gay fans. that’s their captain.
Dave Grohl undermining a woman’s talent and success was not on my 2024 bingo card, but here we are!
This is SO incredibly lame and embarrassing of you @foofighters!
Harrison Butker doesn’t represent Kansas City nor has he ever. Kansas City has always been a place that welcomes, affirms, and embraces our LGBTQ+ community members. 🌈
When people say ‘you just don’t like red bull because they’re winning all the time’- no it’s because Jos Verstappen tried to kill his wife, Helmut Marko is racist, Christian Horner is a sex pest & the whole organisation is an overspending, cheating, arrogant, toxic shower of shit
so, let me get this straight:
- horner was offered a way out by the team before the news broke
- advised by multiple parties to step down
- tried to offer £650,000 to the victim
- questioned for 8 hours
- victim delivered 100 pieces of evidence
and yet, he gets to stay. rich white men in positions of power will never face the consequences of their actions. l
