Barton’s ramblings is interesting reading up to a point. I am not a big fan of any pundits as most of them actually ruin the enjoyment of watching football.
I don’t like Neville so when Barton has a go at the all knowing one then I find it refreshing. When he has a go at female pundits, I can see the point he is trying to make. When did it become not ok to discuss complex situations without being deemed anti woke, misogynist, racist or whatever else? It’s far too easy to shut down conversations throwing these accusations about.
Worst thing for me in all this is the side taking. Everything has to be black and white, right or wrong and 99% of the time it is just not possible, certainly not in the real world.
The internet and social media has ramped up some sort of mixed up reality.
It’s all fucked up. If you want to get upset about Barton get upset, if you agree with him, that’s also fine. Shutting down debate is not. As an individual, you have a right to be offended but that does not mean everyone has to be offended and outraged.
We all know he is a thug and we all know he is trying to make money from the situation. We also know that some people do get jobs to tick boxes. Getting upset that this all happens is not worth the energy.
I do hope he continues to wind up Neville. Don’t forget this person caused a riot and got a game called off amongst other things. He has been allowed to spout lies constantly with spit on sky sports to reinforce his own agenda. So who is the worst person? Barton or Neville?
