Guest Deleted member Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 I'd rather be a bigot than a racist - appears to be the view of some of the idiots posting in this thread Stop hiding behind definitions.

latemodelchild Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Up to him I guess. Personally it's not summat I'd do but each to their own. On a wider note, if he had 3 years left on his contract and did this, only to return to football in a year by signing for another team would he be on a free or would we have some recourse to compensation? I'm assuming we keep his registration til his contract runs out or summat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamworthowl Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 6 hours ago, Neal M said: The deleted posts were certainly bigoted - which like racism is against the terms and conditions of this site. "Bigot: noun a person who is intolerant towards those holding different opinions." Virtually every thread on Owlstalk extending more than a few posts descends into bigotry. Perhaps the "bigotry" reference should be re-drafted, or the site policed better to remove all bigoted posts, not just the racist ones. ----------------------- Good luck, Jeremy. Follow your heart. Respect for finding something better than money and modest celebrity. You'll go in the memory bank with the likes of Wade Small and Etiene Esajas. It didn't work out how we hoped, but you gave your all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club can keep the player's registration (as a condition of allowing him to leave) or just cancel the contract, making him a free agent.

Eightace Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Someone, a god maybe, does you a good turn by putting you on the earth and you have to spend the rest of your days praying and thanking them? Baffling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul.. Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Good luck to him, better to do it now than regret it later. Always felt sorry for him that as he was obviously against gambling the club never provided him a shirt without the sky bet arm patches and he always had to cover it up with tape that would be falling off within about 10 minutes, I'm not a Muslim obviously but I think gambling advertising has reached ridiculous levels and shouldn't be a sponsorship of a sport so watched by children.

Bizzare statement. youre saying we should be able to poke fun at a persons religion or religion in general. How about someone's sexuality ? or someone's disability ? would you poke fun out of them ?

BowOwl Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 (edited) Our Father who art in heaven Carlos be his name Thy free kicks come, hopefully a Goal will be done, On the field as it is in heaven Give us this day our matchday thread. And forgive us our fouls, As we forgive those who score against us. And lead us not into offside, But deliver us from penalties. For thine city is ours, the power and the glory. Wednesday til I die.

There is not any evidence of the supernatural, if we are to take religion seriously then all the myths of other so called gods should be taken seriously. If someone was to claim that Zesus was the god, he would be ridiculed, but his belief is as strong as any other religous believer. Would you give the Zesus beliver the same credance as a christian or muslim believer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Thought it was a wind up when someone text me about Helan last night. But I say good luck to him and slightly refreshing after recent events with certain players getting face on because £30k per week is not on enough that someone is giving it all up to follow their calling. Also I think I don't think any subject is above being made fun off it depends how it is done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish Helan well and hope that he can influence for the good but I doubt it. Just wish he was going to university to learn instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd more accurate to compare religion to someone's politics for example. If someone has an opinion or point of you that you find silly then why can't you say so?

It's not physical it's a choice and it's a way of life, an ideology that can effect others too, it has influence at the highest levels in some countries, it causes tribalism, war and worse. It definitely doesn't deserve special treatment any more than someone who's a committed Nazi. It's not all bad granted but giving it a free pass makes no sense.
