Fan anger as the FA redesigns Three Lions logo swapping them for one male lion, one lioness and one cub to 'reflect the true diversity' of the game

Fans hit out yesterday after the Three Lions were dropped in favour of a lion, lioness and cub to show 'the true diversity' of English football.

The rebranding was dubbed 'PC nonsense' by some on social media, with others asking 'Who's offended by a lion?'

Football Association bosses insisted the badge will help increase grassroots participation by symbolising 'progression' and 'inclusivity'.

Good god. As an Anglophile this breaks my heart. We had a black Britannia and now the three cowardly lions.

It would appear that we can save IQ test costs by simplying asking if the person is “woke”.

A yes answer qualifies the testee for a career in media or left wing politics since there is no productive profession for which they would qualify.

In order to better fit in with modern woke thought, it should have been two grown male lions + the cub...

A lioness is smaller than a lion.

Meh. I am a traditionalist.

Mark Bullingham, chief executive of The FA, said: 'This is a significant change as we unite all our grassroots initiatives and programmes under one banner.

'[It] will harness the unique ability of the England teams to inspire future generations and positively impact participation at all levels of the game.'

The stupidity hurts.

That’s not inclusive! They are trying to force a traditional family on everyone! How about two lionesses and a cub, or two male lions and a cub? They need to be more inclusive.

Oh, God, so offensive!

What took them so long to change this logo so full of hate, bigotry and racism?

Now, isn't this far better?

Don't you feel more inclusive and diverse now?

No word yet if the male lion is castrated or cuckolded.

to show 'the true diversity' of English football

Well, if they wanted to be really honest about it, they'd stop calling it "English football" and call it "African football".

“with others asking ‘Who’s offended by a lion?’”

Gazelles, antelope, water buffalo, zebras, etc.
