I do find it strange how these young players find it funny to mock Kane.

Because they never could imagine reaching that level.

I just find it really poor the level of mocking Kane has to put up with.

And both him and the other one Elliott look like massive bellends with their dumb hair cuts anyways so maybe they should check themselves first lol.

Kane is England captain, doesn’t drink, doesn’t smoke, never in the press for any extra curricular activities, married his childhood sweetheart, never used his family to make money in the glossy mags, got to the top by squeezing every ounce of talent out…..
Yet everybody mocks him. It boils my piss.

Yep and they wouldn’t get away with it so easily with other players.

Down to jealousy and a lack of brains IMHO.

He looks so much like the actor who plays Ivor the boneless in Vikings. That is all I have to contribute to this thread.

It's because he isn't 'cool'

Not just Kane, exactly though.

Not that Kane is (to my knowledge) disabled, but more that when people go to mock him they mock speech impediments and, in the case of Harvey Elliot, they use the same words that I thought had been wiped from acceptable language in the last century. Sometimes I feel awful about how common it was to mock people with disabilities in school in the 90's. IIRC 'Scope' even changed their name to avoid the negative connotations of the original charity's name.

I find it saddening that Justin Fletcher has been normalising/supporting disabilities on Cbeebies for 18 or 19 years this year, and yet there's still people who are recycling the same old tropes. Is it perpetuated by the parents or something?

When I was that age, professional comics were making jokes about niggers, queers and spastics. When he was that age, even 10-year olds knew better. And he deliberately created and published that, it's not like an off-the-cuff comment to his mates. Makes me think he's as thick as pigshit.

Do you need to use the language to make your point?

The answer is always yes. Parents who get upset about 'cancel culture' and 'everyone's so quick to get offended these days' using words at home that they'd never say in public.

Chances are they're not just making fun of speech impediments either. Probably racist and sexist tropes as well that get passed down to the children.

Reminds me now of that video of Millwall or West ham fans - it was a middle aged woman in a car (possibly a grandmother) laughing because she'd taught what looked like a 6 year old something racist or offensive. That's how I remember it, but not sure if you know what I'm on about (not sure how to go about searching for it either).

Seems to be an issue now with people not realising it's not okay and there are consequences, because they weren't taught not to do that when they were kids. It's like JoJo Rabbit (if you've seen it), where you wonder if it's the kids fault if that's how they've been conditioned.

Whilst most will only dream of having a career like his.
Wish we could volley this thread along with him into space ?

Wow quite a leap and the irony of generalising groups of people is a nice touch

 

[bat-chain]

Basically his balls were not big enough to join Spurs, meet Kane and our fans and own his remarks. That’s what it comes down to.

Not brave enough.

Yeah I remember that, she’d taught him to sing Millwall fuck ‘em all and was beaming with pride at him.

Then he finished off saying something incredibly racist (I won’t repeat what it was) and she then looks all shocked!

What, did it hit a little too close to home? What was generalizing about what I said? I know plenty of these types of people.

Will you two just kiss each other....

and they’re as thick as pig shit
