    The ousting of Daniel (COYS)

    I'm not trying to exaggerate anything. I'm just asking people to pick a different word. Why is that such a big deal to you? I know that you are well aware of this trope, so why are you so determined to use this specific word when you know that other posters here find it offensive?

    The ousting of Daniel (COYS)

    He called him a parasite. I explained why many people find it offensive to call a prominent Jew a parasite due to the historic trope. I never said that he deliberately used the word in that manner. I'm just asking people to use a different word, as i know many posters on here don't like its use...

    Well lots of other people do. It's really not that hard to just use a different word is it?

    Stop calling Levy a parasite. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_parasite It's been explained a number of times, in a number of threads, why this is highly offensive. If you need to insult him that badly then please pick a different word.

    The ousting of Daniel (COYS)

    "Parasite" is a pretty well known historic racial trope, directed against Jewish people. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_parasite Again, i will assume that you were unaware of this. But please think more carefully in future before using it as a term to describe Levy.

    The ousting of Daniel (COYS)

    A number of posters, across multiple threads, have explained why calling Levy a parasite is problematic, given his ethnicity. Maybe you missed that, and were unaware. But i've seen the term used a number of times over the last few weeks. It's almost starting to feel deliberate now. If people...

    Sell him, loan him, pay the contract, cancel the contract, make him train on his own and not play him. There's loads they could do. If he was a worse player they already would have done one of them.

    In a perfect world you're right. But we live in an imperfect world where there is a mountain of examples and psychological studies on why women choose to stay in abusive and coercive relationships. It's far too complicated an issue to just be calling a victim stupid for not feeling able to...

    You keep focusing on the court and the legal definition of innocence when that is not what is being discussed here. Do you think Vladimir Putin is guiltu of war crimes and should face some kind of consequence for that? Practically speaking it's impossible to arrest him and have a legal hearing...

    And with a lot of other types of crime i would agree with you. But given the nature of coercive and abusive relationships, we know it's basically impossible to have that fair hearing with all the evidence in this case. You're putting a principle over reality in this case. That's fair enough but...

    My point was your analogy was shite. If you want to use bigfoot then it is more like a witness clearly filming bigfoot, and then stating much later (almost certainly under a form of coercion) that bigfoot does not exist. And to repeat, we aren't talking about court here. We are talkimg about...

    The whole innocent till guilty thing is so misused. Anyone vaguely familiar with this issue knows that there is a much higher evidence bar in sexual assault cases. It's incredibly hard to get enough evidence to secure a charge, let alone a conviction. In 2021 for example, just 1.3% of rape cases...

    You don't even know if it was him who did it. Your whole argument is ridiculous. It's just you scrabbling around for any excuse to slag off a player you don't like. Pathetic.

    Eric Dier

    What a load of bollocks. He changed some social media stuff for a couple of hours. That's it. You don't even know if it was him who did it, or someone who manages the profile. The idea that this is toxic behaviour is laughable. You're working incredibly hard here to build a narrative to...

    The ousting of Daniel (COYS)

    I never really understand why this quote is used as a stick to beat Levy with. The majority of premiership owners chose to buy their clubs for the same reasons as Levy, to make money. It would likely be the same with any new owner. Also, that was almost 30 years ago now. After working at the...

    The ousting of Daniel (COYS)

    As i said, i understand the frustration. It's completely reasonable to be frustrated with the decision making process over the last few years. I have no problem with that or the argument that Levy deserves to go now. I guess i just find it a bit weird/unreasonable how some people have taken...

    The ousting of Daniel (COYS)

    This is pretty much a perfect example of what i am saying. Completely understandable why you are frustrated and anti-Levy. But the level of your anger and how you are expressing it is just way OTT in my view. Calling Levy a cancerous poison is just weird to me. He's done bad things and good...

    The ousting of Daniel (COYS)

    Well yes, all online debates ultimately polarise the 2 camps into more extreme positions over time. That's natural. But i certainly don't lump all criticism of him into one category. If i did then i would be disagreeing with nearly every post on this thread. For what it's worth i think it's...

    The ousting of Daniel (COYS)

    Almost as fun as watching you and other posters making stuff up to suit your point of view... Saying that Levy isn't solely responsible for every bad thing that happens to the club isn't the same thing as defending him from every bit of criticism. Levy has made many fuck ups over the last 5...
