People that use the word snowflake in this context are the worst.
Well yeah but we aren’t talking about other people.
“If Lineker is targeting anyone who has had heart problems with his joke then of course, that is bang out of order.”

any person or people.
"there wasn't anyone there"
Ahhh, now it all makes sense. Yeah, I was in the same boat as you @Vidyoyo.Reading it back, I think I, and maybe others, thought you were suggesting that he was intentionally mocking everyone who'd had a heart attack, rather than just Hoddle.
Can you clarify? @rcoobc also asked about it.
Yet it so obviously is weak to be offended on behalf of someone else who was not, because of a joke.People that use the word snowflake in this context are the worst.
Sometimes it is warranted though. I'd say this is one of those occasions.People that use the word snowflake in this context are the worst.
Totally. If Hoddle is OK with it, there's no issue. Let's all move on to the next source of mock-outrage.There are very few things in this world more patronising and insufferable than taking offense ON BEHALF of other people.
I guess sarcasm doesn't translate in a forum.Gervais is far from ultra PC and the quote is an argument aimed at people that are.
I guess not. I’m never sure any more.I guess sarcasm doesn't translate in a forum.
The simple solution would be for the BBC to stop giving contracts to Danny Murphy and Alan Shearer.Why are people so desperate to make all TV/public spaces entirely humourless and bland?
He looks smug but he isnt, he's just a kid at heart. I can see how someone might think that if they arent familiar with him though.Linekar is alright. He has one of those smug heads that's very easy to dislike, but some of his jokes are half decent the odd time. At least he tries.
so they can then cry about how pundits are bland and unwilling to give their honest opinion about anything.Why are people so desperate to make all TV/public spaces entirely humourless and bland?
It's not the worst thing in the world by any stretch, and it doesn't affect me, but taking the piss out of someone being bald in front of thousands doesn't just affect the intended target.Why do people get offended on others behalf these days? There is no malice in the banter amongst mates.
He didn't get the memo, first thing e said when he introduced Danny Murphy and Ian Wright was "They are here to "comb over the highlights" and Wrighty was near pissing himself with laughter!It's not the worst thing in the world by any stretch, and it doesn't affect me, but taking the piss out of someone being bald in front of thousands doesn't just affect the intended target.
Or he was mocking the morons on Twitter that constantly complain.He didn't get the memo, first thing e said when he introduced Danny Murphy and Ian Wright was "They are here to "comb over the highlights" and Wrighty was near pissing himself with laughter!
At end of the day it's like Brexit. Very polarizing!
