An intellectual could argue Bartons points much more eloquently and receive a lot less flack as a consequence of that.

Bartons main argument is that men and women's football is played to different standards therefore punditry on the mens side of the game should be predominantly ex male footballers. That in itself has some validity and shouldn't be seen as out right misogynistic, however the way he delivers that message in an often unsavoury manner makes it easier for the woke extremists to refute everything he argues.

As a commerical photographer I find the whole modern corporation/virtue signalling phenomenon fascinating. If I order a Domino's its because the pizza is nice not because they post witty tweets on social media. People who love FB92 on GOT do so because of his footballing/philosophical wisdom not because of his ravishing good looks.

These young marketing graduates who are gaining employment into these companies are often failing to acknowledge the reality of core business objectives / target audience and fall down the rabbit hole of thinking virtue signalling = £££. Sky Sports for example wont see a surge in new subscriptions from female viewers because they replace a male pundit with a female one on MNF or soccer saturday - if anything they're more likely to rile up a small section of their already subscribed target audience (men).

But you're not an intellectual though.

Remember the 90's / early 00's when businesses just focused on providing a service / selling a product to the consumer base and not getting involved in politics / culture wars.

Is it so difficult for these multi billion industries to just hire/advertise based on whats good for the business rather than the current modus operandi for many large corporations which is to pitch your sale with one eye on avoiding any social media criticism from small pressure groups ?

Social media / the internet has done many positive tings but its also been very divisive. Imagine if a football manager selected a young player totally out of their depth in order to appease a group of fans who are vocal about seeing more academy products in the first team. It would be ludicrous but thats what you're seeing happening - not just in the football/media industry either.

Wrong. All of it.

I remember watching crufts a while back and being absolutely outraged at the lack of canine commentators.

I thought “this fella’s never been a dog, how can he possibly comment on it. He walks and jumps on 2 legs, it’s a completely different sport”.

Use the word pseudo around him and he thinks of Phil Collins

Please provide evidence of this, rather than your usual mo, of dressing your opinions up as facts.

This is the depressing thing, all this crap he's spouting for attention, it's just a career move and these days a pretty viable one.

No doubt he's done all the dough he made as a player on his various vices, he's failed as a player and doesn't have the profile or insight to make it as a pundit, so he's realised his only way to make a living is to churn out edgelord crap for bedroom dwelling incels.

If he’s not one of the massive bells on here he’s missing a trick.

Pure box ticking exercise to make sure these white blokes get a job.

She’s a centrist grifter alright.

The very worst. Along with the likes of that Femi occupy the centre cringe movement. Infiltration deep fakes designed to disgust normal people into voting Tory.

What is his end goal?

To get hold of the fella who assured him that speaking English while affecting a French accent straight from Allo Allo was a great idea for TV.

Very refreshing to see someone speaking their mind regardless of the consequences.

Too many people toe the line for fear of being cancelled.

Yes, it’s bravery and not moronic stupidity.

FB92 is the best wind up account on this site. Experienced heads once again falling under his spell. I had drafted a long winded retort before realising I have been in this situation about 20 times previously and had to log off to have a cold shower.

Total wizard.
