Not sure if this needs it's own thread, but can't help but feel Bentancur's 7 match ban is on the excessive side. Is a ban of that length 'woke' or just a sign that anything other than incredibly harsh repercussions will be taken as evidence that bodies like the FA aren't 'taking racism seriously'?
Breaking someone's leg deliberately in a match would be unlikely to incur that kind of ban, something seriously wrong somewhere.

If you think that's excessive spare a thought for the 17 year old girl who has been banned from playing by the FA for six games (4 suspended) for asking a "bearded" transgender opponent “Are you a man?”, an action that has provoked growing outrage and a protest outside Wembley ahead of England’s Nations League victory against Republic of Ireland on Sunday.

(it's a month-old story but back in the news because of the appeal and the protest yesterday)

The lbc article mentions this case in the title and opening paragraph, then goes on an angry rambling rant about I don’t know what. Come on lbc. What am I supposed to be getting angry about ffs?

Now
this is more like it!
"
A paedophile convicted of sexually assaulting his stepdaughter has been allowed to remain in the UK as deporting him would breach his right to a “family life”...
...Because of the severity of his offences, he was ordered to be deported back to his African homeland....
However, he successfully appealed against the sanction, with an immigration judge ruling deportation would “negatively impact” the “wellbeing” of his wife and three biological children..."

Marvellous stuff.

Are you sure she's been banned? The article says the local FA's case was dismissed?

Glad you didn't c&p the whole thing so zingers like this could still be appreciated:
"The decision was made despite the tribunal accepting that the man “continues to pose a risk to the community, in particular children”."

Yes. The article is mostly about something else, except the headline and first para.
A female footballer with suspected autism has been hit with a six-match ban after asking a “bearded” transgender opponent: “Are you a man?”
The 17-year-old cried as she was found guilty of “discrimination” by a national serious case panel over remarks made during a match against a trans-inclusive club.

If you want it to he woke then it is. The word woke has no meaning that anyone understands.

"Fuse ODG said he wanted to “reclaim the narrative … today, the diaspora drives the largest flow of funds back into the continent, not Band Aid or foreign aid, proving that Africa’s solutions and progress lie in its own hands”."
But the main solution he seems to refer to is Africans...leaving Africa?

Blimey. Progress is progress. But even I didn't have PJ hitting the "send them all home" stage before Christmas on my prediction card.

Add “virtue signalling” to “woke” as another meaningless description used when you disagree with a comment or action.
