As a journalist, I understand the use of the word "shocking" in regards to the racial abuse directed towards Axel Tuanzebe.
But... It's not. And hasn't been for a long time.
I'll keep it real; it's only shocking because you weren't listening.
I interviewed
@JoshuaBugembe
in 2020 for
@TheVoiceNews
about his dreams of becoming the next LH. This year he was one of three young racers that
@LewisHamilton
to Silverstone.
Stayed tuned coz this young man has an exciting future ahead of him.
This year I invited these three talented drivers to Silverstone. It’s so important to pay that forward, support young talent, and work to ensure that the future of motorsport is more diverse than the present. Joshua, Myles and Cordell thank you, I'm proud of all of you.
If you still think Alex Scott or any other woman is getting a job "to tick a box", you clearly don't have the sense you were born with.
We have to work at least TWICE as hard to constantly prove we can do our job, often working with colleagues who do the bare minimum.
After all the crap that's been thrown at them, footballers have still done more for the

Good morning to the gammons who were obsessed with Alex Scott yesterday, before diverting back to Naga Munchetty today.
I wish you nothing but lukewarm showers, stewed cups of tea and bacon drier than your skin 😘
Interesting how so many are writing about Pogba's ONE comment about Souness, but they rarely comment on he and other pundits weekly rants about the Frenchman...
So many of us have been calling this bigoted narrative out for years and been told we're wrong, we've got chips on our shoulders etc etc
We don't, we're just tired of this BS.
Huge respect for Sterling speaking his truth and the truth of many others
I guess Mason's the new target then. Interesting there's little said about Foden, who has a young child + girlfriend at home...
But you'll pick on the single teenager - the one not hurting anyone and just trying to live his life.

Really not here for Jose questioning others professionalism regarding player's fitness. Even worse when you remember him shouting at Dr Eva Carneiro for going on the pitch to treat a possibly injured player.
If you really believe in it + it's not just lip service, wear the frigging armband!
It really is that simple. And yes, I know they'll get a yellow card.
People literally lose their lives to fight for equality + y'all are worried about a booking.
Time to back your chat, boys
So many replies to this are using Zaha as the example, which is ridiculous as he is actually fighting for the cause - whether he kneels or not.
The original tweet is talking about those who do nothing but say a few sentences in a video filmed at the start of the season.
Once again asking what people who “don’t kneel because they’d rather help in another way” are doing to help in another way, because so far I’ve seen nothing.
Laura Kuenssberg: Maybe social care would improve is care workers weren't struggling on £18,000 / year.
Rishi Sunak: What if we gave them a SENSE that they're being paid more?
#BBCLauraK
: Would you work for £18,000?
Rishi Sunak: Look Laura! My job actually matters!!
Just got an email that my electricity bills will be DOUBLE from next month. We're a two-income home, but what about those who aren't? What about those already struggling or living in poverty?
This is some real BS from companies that are literally swimming in profits

So much love for Demba Ba right now.
And respect to both sets of players for walking off. Would've been easier for PSG not to.
But we've tried ignoring this stuff and it doesn't work, so we have to take strong action.
Today we honor the iconic Angela Bassett. She is the embodiment of class, and a master of her craft. She has captured the screen and our hearts in films and shows such as ‘What’s Love Got to Do With It,’ ‘Waiting to Exhale,’ & ‘American Horror Story.’✨

The perception still doesn't change. Sterling or Pogba could donate a kidney to an orphaned refugee and there would be some who would still try to spin it.
You know when you send your partner shopping without a list and he comes back with random stuff you don't need?
That's how United fans must feel watching Woodward in the transfer window.

#ARRESTED
| We were alerted to a series of racist messages sent to a footballer today and after looking into them and conducting checks, we have arrested a boy.
The 12-year-old from
#Solihull
has been taken to custody.
Thanks to everyone who raised it. Racism won't be tolerated.
I swear I see more men tweeting about the looks of managers of players than I ever do women.
Funny how it doesn't cause anyone to question their football knowledge... 🤔
To all those suggesting this isn't racist or the players shouldn't have walked off, think of it this way...
Would he have said: "The white guy"?
#PSGIBFK
You always know a manager is looking for a job when they pop up EVERYWHERE as a pundit or commentator. Like they're trying to prove how much they know about football.
A little ironic how they use the media to get them work before slagging it off when they're employed again...
Genuinely hope we can
#SaveCAFC
. Spent the first few years of my career covering
#cafc
and have so many great memories.
How many clubs will have to go under before the governing body actually put a serious structure in place regarding ownership?
It's not only the male colleagues, friends, father's and teammates we should be calling out.
There are also many mothers, aunts, sisters and partners who raise men like LR to feel entitled then continue to pacify their blatant misogyny.
The mother of Luis Rubiales has locked herself in a church and declared a hunger strike in protest of the "witch-hunt" against her son.
She has also demanded Hermoso tells the “truth” about the kiss that led to Rubiales’ FIFA suspension.
Full story👇
The next time a pundit calls out fans of any sport about a lack of attendance; I want you *ALL* to remind them we have to pay for tickets.
That we can't all get out of work to support them.
That sometimes we can only support our team/country from afar.
