I don't agree with the kneeling thing, especially as we have now all been proven right and the BLM movement has been proven to be a Marxist led organisation that instills as much racism as it claims to want to end.

The fact that F1 has put there own diversity programme and made clear anti racism efforts I think that should be sufficient.

However for the likes of that dimwit Lewis Hamilton whom is trying to bully F1 and the remaining drivers to kneel is absolutely ridiculous. I used to be a big fan of Hamilton but his recent antics have turned my support away. I cannot support a bully.

I firmly believe politics should be kept out of sports.

But you have just posited a political argument in sports.

No it hasn't

Except perhaps inside your head.

 

[Brigadier]

I'm very pleased that you say I've been proven right.

I posted the following in a previous thread.

"Lewis Hamilton says he agrees with all statues linked with slavery, being pulled down, fair enough,
forgetting that his paymasters Mercedes used Jews during the 2nd World War to provide SLAVE labour for its factories.
Hugo Boss, by the way produced uniforms for the Nazis.

Once you start digging, you will have to tear down the whole World, and start again."

I am surprised Mercedes have not had a word with him.

Your words, which is a reducto absurdum
Why would Mercedes need to have a word with him because of your words?

Well. Yes

I shall. Not be buying a Merc untill they do

Transam is making a principled stand on the matter and I shall not be backing down

Oh dear......... quite obviously not because of MY words, but about his stance on slavery, please keep up.

Well if you'd kept up with the news you might have seen that Mercedes might have had a word with him and were making real attempts to remove structural inequality.
Perhaps that was sufficient for Lewis Hamilton. Perhaps he felt that others were not doing anything or not sufficient, and his protests were continuing.

Mercedes ... stand against racism and discrimination in all forms”.

But your comment was and is still a reducto absurdum.

Sorry you'll have to explain this one to me, im a bit stupid

 

[dontbelieveawordofit]

You'd be wrong. I'm more concerned with people plagiarisng other's work.
I see your are another one who quickly resorts to insults.
It serves only to illustrate the fragility of your argument.

dude, lighten up, loosen the tie, crack a carlsberg, make a few deliberate spelling mistakes . life’s too short

 

[Trazor]

reducto absurdum.

Pardon.
