Things aren't always as they seem

Didn't trigger me as couldn't be bothered to read the link. Anything to do with sport, I switch off.

Very short sighted.

Around sport it is very political - just ask any Russian. Though be careful where and how you ask them as they may have a heart attack or fall out of a high window...

[woohoo]

Yeah. It was lazy. Lazy thinking on your part.

Wouldnt be the first time.

Anyway as a person who dislikes religion and thinks its a nasty, vile manipulation of the susceptible, i wasn’t triggered.

Can't understand why you think those of us who are not religious would be triggered though

Good.

Sad to see that Vetran and BlueSharp were among the triggered. Well, I did warn you.

[NotAllThere]

Bit upset that you included anti-religionists along with racists. Almost like you are suggesting they are the same. I'm sure you are not and it was just a bit lazy.

I had read this story a few years ago and it was indeed very interesting, and what a decent chap treated very badly.

Can't understand why you think those of us who are not religious would be triggered though. What has religion got to do with this?

[vetran]

I'm upset that you're upset.

not upset, saddened.

Thanks interesting. Strange you had to introduce a truly revolutionary moment by 3 brave men with an implied insult, it seems you don't understand why they did it, proper human love.

That's the identity politics the left thrive off of for you. However a great read.

Thanks for that. I too always assumed he was 'just some guy' who happened to be in the photo.

Trigger warning - may upset racists and anti-religionists.



...today I discovered the truth: that white man in the photo is, perhaps, the third hero of that night in 1968. His name was Peter Norman, ....
