The campaign "Kick Racism Out of Football" has long been in operation in the Premier League and Football League. This is just another way to bring it to the front. So America did it first, so what? So England's copying you, so what? Who cares as long as it addresses the problem it's supposed to? You think Irish Americans should stop, as you put it, dickriding Ireland and not have Paddy's Day parades? It's got nothing to do with "solidarity with America". It's now a well-recognised way to stand against racism and they're using it. Why does it bother you so much?

It's nowhere near as bad as the bloody "Le Suis Charlie" and all that **** that went on when France was under attack. Just how people react. Anyway you don't have to like it but they're not going to stop, so why keep moaning about it? Surely you can turn your displeasure on Trump, or his lawyers, or CNN, or me, or something else to occupy your time instead of berating people who are trying to highlight a very real problem in their country?
