Souness

Sums up social media this whole thing.

Someone says something clumsy.

A couple of people complain on twitter.

News sites say there has been FURY over it.

People get angry that some people complained, thinking it's loads of 'lefties' and 'woke this and woke that.'

Other people get involved criticising those getting angry and those who complained.

On and on it goes...

Correct!

10% of people in the uk have Twitter 9% of those are toxic
 
She wasn't offended.

She defended Souness and said he wasn't sexist but used a clumsy term when he could have said physical football is back.

People only read the headlines. People these days.

She literally retweeted a tweet that quoted her saying he was being sexist and indicated that she said he should apologise, and tweeted herself at the same time that it was her take. There was no headline. I assumed she is offended by people being sexist but I can't speak for her on that. And I can't be arsed listening to her views on football.

I just thought it was funny she said all that on a programme called Talking Balls, which is a very masculine play on words. Do they talk women's football on that show too?

Sorry for any offence caused.
 
You actually can. People just don't like if others disagree.

In any case hardly anyone was offended. The media take a few tweets of people who complained and make a big deal out of it.

The loudest voices in all of this were Men who got annoyed that a few nobodies were offended.
We both know that comment is far from the truth. People take offence to anything and everything in today's society. I know people disagree on certain things but you'd hope that the people involved are mature enough to work things out.

So for instance, You're last paragraph i could turn that into something out of absolutely nothing. Female footballers that have won the European Championships this year have called out Souness for his remarks, So are you saying that the England female footballers that have recently won the Euros are "Nobodies"?

I'm not saying that you are making a remark like that, But in today's society if you said something like that on Live TV you'd hung out to dry.
What I'm saying is people love twisting things and making unnecessary drama nowadays. Actually going out of their way to look for something to moan about.

It'll all be forgotten once Allan Carr, Frankie Boyle, Joe Rogan etc say something new to attract the attention of the permanently outraged.

Fair enough and if I was in the public eye I'd correctly have to clarify my comments. I meant few people no body has really heard of.

I just think a lot of all this 'outrage' stuff is confected and amplified by news sites. Mainly MailOnline.

I also think there are people looking to see if people are offended and getting angry about it.
