This is asinine.
The Shire is in need of a thorough scouring.
The Jutes were marginalized for so long.
YAWN , who cares
Only black history matters.
FU woke idiots
Geez... So everyone gets to celebrate their ethnic heritage in Europe except whites? Do I understand that correctly?
Those who don’t learn history are doomed to repeat it.
But
Those who destroy history intend to repeat it.
England A?
The name “England” is derived from the Old English name Englaland, which means “land of the Angles”. The Angles were one of the Germanic tribes that settled in Great Britain during the Early Middle Ages.
Maybe “England” isn’t diverse enough either and should be changed. How about Oceania?
Just give teams numbers !
That will solve the problem.
Also have them all wear the same color of uniform for true equity.
[[The infamously woke Prince Harry, a patron of the Rugby Football Union, backed the call to ban the song from England rugby matches last June.]]
How about Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah instead.
What does England A stand for? England Arabs?
So, if you name your team for some groups (”Indians”), it marginalizes that group; but if you name your team for other groups, it marginalizes everyone else. This is just another example of “A privilege”, as it is well-known that z surnamed people have shorter lives due to the stress of having to wait at the end of the line
Most of the ‘players of color’ I see in English rugby are Pacific Islanders rather than of African origin. But few if any English teams are all white. But then there’s the problem of the New Zealand team the All Blacks, most of whom are white. Both the French and the Italians are called the ‘Blues’ in their respective languages, non of whose players are in fact blue or even bluish. What to do, what to do?
Saxons? Had they reverted? ;)
Rugby is stupid.
When do they say,,,We are not men?
So stupid!
Countdown to their finding “England” in the title offensive....
Prince Harry was pushing for nick naming the team the spear chuckers, but his wife Meghan told him that would be racist and they settled on a non-racial, nonsexual and non religious name, the broom sticks. When a witches group found out they strongly objected and others said that a broom stick could be considered a phallic symbol so it was back to the drawing board. The rocks was briefly considered but since rocks have been used to kill LGBTQ people by stoning in the past that would not work either. The Cable Modems was then considered, but there is controversy over that name as well. /s
>>England’s second team, which has been referred to as the “Saxons” since 2006, will have its name changed back to the old “England A” team when they face off against Scotland A in Leicester in June, in order “to reflect the diversity in society”.
Sod indigenous peoples, right?!
The rules aren’t the same in every country, the agenda is against some people and it is discrinatory around the globe.
How about the Vikings?
