As you know, I’m not into football. But this new woke gesture from the FA makes me really angry.
The FA have decided that the three lions, which symbolise England and have been proudly worn on every English football shirt since the 1870’s, is somehow offensive and insufficiently inclusive. So these proud lions have been given their marching orders and are to be replaced with a cub, lion and lioness. According to the FA they “unite to form the new England Football crest with no boundaries, representing everyone at every level of football across the country.” This, they add piously “symbolises progression, greater inclusivity and accessibility in all levels of the beautiful game; from grassroots to elite.” Bollocks.
Why must the FA give in to every ridiculous woke idea? I like to see our National team with the three lions. It makes me feel proud to be English, even though I find football boring, I will always root for our national football team.
It is also an historically illiterate. The English lions go back to the 12th century when Henry I, ‘“The Lion of England” added his wife’s family lion to the one on his own shield. After Henry II married Eleanor of Aquitaine in 1154, the lion on her family crest made it three. Richard the Lionheart’s standard featured three golden lions which have appeared on the Royal Arms of every succeeding English monarch. It’s our national symbol.
How in the world can it be considered offensive? It’s part of that pernicious trend that everything that represents England is automatically racist and offensive.
The FA are cunts.
