aibu to be incandescent with rage with rage that ITV have Glen Hoddle as a commentator?

[Skarossinkplunger]

Just that really. It’s ruined the match for me already.

Yes. He is quite the piece of shit, that one.

Why?!

Not BU in the slightest, cannot believe they let him back on tv.

Pink his outrageous disablism maybe?!

YANBU. Don't know how Piers Morgan finds work either.

From wiki

Dickinson's interview revealed that Hoddle had a "controversial belief that the disabled, and others, are being punished for sins in a former life."

The full quote:

“My beliefs have evolved in the last eight or nine years, that the spirit has to come back again, that is nothing new, that has been around for thousands of years. You have to come back to learn and face some of the things you have done, good and bad. There are too many injustices around."
"You and I have been physically given two hands and two legs and half-decent brains. Some people have not been born like that for a reason. The karma is working from another lifetime. I have nothing to hide about that. It is not only people with disabilities. What you sow, you have to reap."

"You have to look at things that happened in your life and ask why. It comes around."

And that love rat Ryan Giggs.

YANBU, at all. Piece of shit indeed.

Glenn Hoddle has some very odd views, didn't he say unacceptable things when he was the England manager aswell?

But his knowledge as a football pundit is without question.

Glenn Hoddle is a disablist rat shitbag.

Ryan Giggs is a dick but being a cheating prick isn’t exactly the same as saying disabled people asked for it.

Isn't that just his opinion though?

I think the same when I see that misogynistic shit, John Inverdale, commenting on the tennis.

YANBU!

Isn't that just his opinion though?

And if he was a blatant racist would he be on TV? Would he fuck. Insert any other group bar disabled people into that statement and he’d never have been seen again.

But disabled people are fair game or it doesn’t matter. As proved by some comments on here.

ghost Piers Morgan is outrageous, hilarious, brave and controversial. He's not afraid to get out there and say what he thinks. You can love him or loathe him, but you can't be on the fence - that why he gets work. He gets people talking!

Me too AlexaAmbidextra but I’ve just eaten carbs for the first time in two weeks. My rage runs deep tonight.

I completely agree with you OP.

Born with disability? You must have something to make amends for.

What a complete, utter, cunt & idiotic twat.

Shame shame shame that he’s given a platform 😡😡😡

Get over yourself - it was disgraceful he was hounded out of the job. The managers that came after him not fit to tie his noots. Most knowledgeable pundit.

And that makes it ok that he spouts such vile views? Would it be ok if it was racist? Or homophobic? Or misogynistic? Or is it just disabled people that don’t matter?

He’s a disgusting person.

Get over yourself?? Ron Atkinson was, quite rightly, sacked and never employed by ITV again after making racist comments.
But bugger it, it's only the disabled that Glenn Hoddle made vile comments about.

YANBU! Every time a hear of him Im just reminded of the sun paper having a turnip coupon to send in to demand he was sacked ‘glen hoddle full of twaddle’

Disgraceful he was hounded out of his job??
He shouldn't have been employed again, but as PPs say, disabled people appear to be free game

Yes, I vehemently disagree with his beliefs.

And Gandhi believed it and most Hindus.

So it’s not just him.
