FA Cup Final

[bluemoon]

Absolutely agree with this.

Mohammed Sideways Elneny posted a tweet on Saturday showing his support for Palestine and an image of Israel with pro-palestinian imagery within it. I've had to explain to a number of Arsenal fans that it was wrong and divisive and they *still* can't see how it could offend Jewish supporter groups of Arsenal.

It appears that if you're a muslim footballer you've got to take this automatic, default stance of supporting Palestine. The irony is, these idiots will probably never go there and haven't been in the past.

Why exactly is it offensive to Jewish supporter groups for showing support for Palestinians? There was nothing racist or anti-Semitic in his post, so why would they be triggered?

Shame on your shitty club for selling out for $$$. First Ozil, now Elneny.

Pleasantly surprised to see the FA aren’t and won’t take any action for further displays of support and rightly so.

Absolute bollocks, no place at prestigious cup finals for political displays of support, for arguably terrorist organisations ie Hamas and Hezballah. QED

I’m not sure you’d be saying the same if they had Israel flags draped over them, mate, to be absolutely honest with you.

It isn’t necessary. Sport should be about bringing people together as equals not dividing them. In my humble opinion.

Absolute bollocks is the fact you associate the Palestinian flag with supporting Hamas and Hezbollah. Your ignorance is shining through with that comment.

I honestly couldn’t care less if anyone did, free speech and all that. Let’s see if any do in the next week, my guess is no one will, apart from Spurs fans. Who wants to be on the side of the oppressor?

Total nonsense they are all in the conflict together, so get your facts right, anyway fuck this shit, my point is politics has no place in sport, and, if it wasn’t political, why were those muppets parading a flag associated with conflict and war.
Can’t you see past your one sided view, people start parading flags from one side, what follows is flags of the other side appear, I will give you a factual example.
The nationalists in Northern Ireland started parading the Palestinian flag at their various events, the people that did this were Sinn Fein/IRA, indeed the nationalists para military groups had fund raising events for Hamas et al, sure as night follows day, the Unionist para military groups started displaying the Israel flag Star of David, and pledged support to the cause.clashes ensued.

So keep this flag waving nonsense away from sport before it develops into something nasty, imagine if Leicester we’re playing Spurs who have a long association with the Jewish community, don’t they call themselves the “Yid Army” , this is another example of potential trouble, so keep it out of sport, you know it makes sense.
